    Roku HD-XR Hands On: Where's Roku Going With This?

    Roku updated the lineup today with two new models bookending the current Roku HD: The $80 standard-def SD and the $130 HD-XR, which I tested. It's solid, but still needs a firmware upgrade (coming soon) before it feels truly next-gen. More »

    MLB At Bat iPhone On Sale Because You Have to Re-Buy It Every Season

    The MLB's must-buy At Bat iPhone app for baseball fanatics, which delivers live game info, video, more stats than you can swing a stick and other goodness, is currently on sale for $2.99, two bucks off of its usual $5 pricetag. But it's more of a bait-and-switch than a steal, because the app will expire at the end of the season, so you'll have to re-buy it at the start of the 2009 season. Not too surprising coming from the MLB, who's notoriously ticky about their content. At Bat is still a great app, but buyer definitley beware. [TUAW]

    Five Stores That Hosed Customers With DRM

    Sure, it's easy to blithely state that DRM is annoying and sucks. But the fact is, it really can leave you holding vaporous media that you paid real money for, like when a vendor closes up shop or switches to new DRM. Last 100 rounds up five stores that have done just that: Major League Baseball (switched DRM, nuking any video bought pre-2006); Google (killed video store, and any vids you bought); Sony (ditched ATRAC and shut down Sony Connect); Virgin Digital (closed store, told customers to burn tracks to CDs and re-import as MP3); and most recently, Microsoft, which is shuttering MSN Music and its PlaysForSure (now officially worst DRM name ever) authentication servers in August.

    Motorola, MLB Bring Wireless to Wrigley

    Thanks to a partnership between Motorola and Major League Baseball, the dugouts of the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field will be going wireless. Motorola will supply its i580 clamshell cellphone for use in both the home and away dugouts. Now, managers will be able to call up the bullpen without having to get up up from the bench. Motorola will also pay the Cubs to keep them using their cellphone, because, as we all know, Motorola cellphones don't drop calls or anything. More »
