At what point does it actually start to look like something I'd actually want to display on my TV?

3 buttons needed to run your entire house when using a gyro remote.
shit is 10 times faster to navigate, and is so intuitive compared to other options.

12/22/2007 8:30:48 PM

THIS IS NICE!

12/22/2007 8:48:49 PM

meh

12/22/2007 10:03:24 PM

I got a boner watching that.

^What was "meh" about it?

Is there something that's better or do you just not like the idea of having all your media available in every room of your house?

12/22/2007 10:15:00 PM

just imagine macs 5 years from now

12/22/2007 11:11:02 PM

gah, the interface is horrible

there's nothing intuitive about it, and you can use a gyro mouse and three buttons to use regular Windows MCE

yes it has more options but ugly as sin

After watching that video I found a puddle of drool in my lap...

12/23/2007 2:46:57 AM

holy shit, that is so baller.

i was holding it together until about 19:15, then I finally busted a nut.




[Edited on December 23, 2007 at 3:26 AM. Reason : goddamn. 22:40 i busted the other one.]

When this or any other homebrew PVR solution can access my digital channels without using a stupid ass IR blaster to control the cable box, and still showing the cable box info bars when it changes channels, then i might get excited.

I want an off the shelf cable card solution that works.

awesomE

12/23/2007 12:31:08 PM

it looks like shit though

i'll stick with my tivo series3 and appletv

12/23/2007 1:31:56 PM

there are prolly gonna be halo3 skins, etc. available mere weeks after launch, so the 'ugly' argument is totally without weight.

12/23/2007 5:30:44 PM

I've decided to build a server asap for this.

12/23/2007 10:15:20 PM

way ahead of you ;p

12/23/2007 10:43:54 PM

cool stuff but i dont have all the equipment to pull it off

12/23/2007 10:48:55 PM

i just built a media SERVER and an HTPC... i'll definately be trying this out once i get my 5tb raid all setup on the server

12/24/2007 12:21:25 PM

I don't care for the price on the Fiire one inch devices...but it gets the job done.

12/25/2007 9:35:06 AM

ive used it, its ok...

12/25/2007 8:04:38 PM

what's really important here is that they have shown you indefinite proof that a 'gyromote' is the way to go. eventually the remote may even be a ring on a finger, or maybe another....
