No HD for Comcast's MLB Extra Innings


Today I received an email from Comcast comfirming my fear that the MLB Extra Innings package will still not be broadcast in HD. I know showing 80 games each week in HD would comsume a lot of bandwith but it is unacceptable that they cannot even show a couple of games each night in HD. So once again I am stuck out here in Boston not being able to watch my Yankees in HD. Maybe next year....

Dell's Mini 10 now with 720p screen


The Dell Mini 10 now has a 720p screen option! This should have been the ONLY option when they launched the Mini 10 but for some reason Dell launched with the lower res screen from the Mini 9. I am not sure I can recommend anyone buying the Mini 10 though. With the higher res screen, upgraded atom processor and bluetooth the Mini 10 goes for over 500 dollars! That is just too much for a netbook. You can get better netbooks out there with the same or more features for about 400 bucks.

Sony says no price cut on the PS3 tomorrow


According to the latest from Sony their big announcement set for tomorrow has nothing to do with a PS3 price drop. What is with these guys? Yeah, the system is selling ok but not as well as it should. They should knock off 50 or 100 bucks from the price. A price drop now could really spur some great sales. I may even buy one if they dropped the price by a hundred bucks!

Apple using jailbroken iphones?


Well this is certainly interesting. It looks as though Apple is using jailbroken iPhones when creating their schematics for new patents. These images are from their patent filing. Notice anything odd in the red circle? Yup, those are the Installer.app and SMBPrefs, both only available on a jailbroken iPhone.

Microsoft's new anti-apple commercial


Check out the video below. Microsoft has a new commercial that is actually really GOOD. Their past efforts have left much to be desired but I think this one is a winner. The star of the commercial seems very genuine which really makes this commercial work.
