Review of the Roku HD1000 Media Player

Posted by michael on from the too-bad dept.

Animaether writes "Digital Producer magazine are running a review of the Roku HD1000 HD media player hardware. Between 'The unit crashed so much while I was testing it, I practically beat a path through the carpet to the unit's location on the shelf...' and 'Roku HD1000 misses by such a wide margin, it isn't worth buying', the review paints a pretty grim picture of this unit, and appears to put part of the blame on its Linux-based OS and software. The Roku HD1000 was previously covered here in December 2003."

    From the article:

    The only problem is, this Roku can almost do all these things, but "almost" only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and nuclear weapons.

    Nuclear weapons? As in, "we almost found nuclear weapons in Iraq"?
