Apple TV Still A Dud After Price Cut

Lower pricing hasn’t made the Apple TV set-top box a smash hit. Last month, Apple gave its digital living room gadget more bang for the buck, knocking $100 off its 160 GB Apple TV, to $229, and killing off its smaller version. That has not made it a must-have gadget. At Amazon, it’s ranked the…

Despite Funky HTML Encoding, Boxee Still Plays Hulu Video Just Fine

Yesterday you may have read reports of a tricky security measure Hulu put in place to scramble its video embed codes using JavaScript to thwart unauthorized viewing. Well, it didn’t stop Boxee.

Vuze (aka Azureus) Makes Torrenting Video Even Better With Easy Conversion and Streaming

Azureus (now Vuze) has always been one of the bloatier BitTorrent clients, but I’ve stuck with it because I like the new UI. Now it’s even more useful: It streams and converts videos automatically.

Boxee Gets iPhone App Remote Control With Funky Trackpad Interface

Boxee is one of those fun media programs/Apple TV hacks that we love to mess around with, so it’s obviously good news that there’s now a free iPhone app Boxee remote.

Do You Want a Boxee Dedicated Set-Top Box?
