Sony CPF-IX001: Audio Streaming over Powerline like it’s 1999

Sony’s new audio streamer grabs tunes from a PC over WiFi, Ethernet, or powerline. That’s right, I said the words “New” and “Powerline” in the same coffee-tainted blog breath.

Samsung SyncMaster CX930B LCD Display

Samsung ups the ante on color, claiming 97% color reproduction with its SyncMaster CX930B 19-inch LCD monitor. You thought all color monitors gave you 100% of the colors, didn’t you?
