Gateway Wireless Connected DVD Player Reviewed
Anonymous Howard writes "Designtechnica has a review of a Gateway ADC-320, a home theater device that will play not only DVDs, but media clips off the network. Supported types include DivX, Xvid, Mpeg1 & 2, MP3 and WMA. The thought of a networked media device is not new, but I'm curious as to how many people actually own one? How well do they work? What are the best ones? Is UP&P support worth the extra money? Is this the future of all DVD players for the home theater?"
Timothy, aborted harlequin foetus extraordinaire, rose from bed at his customary 6.40, stretching his arms out wide. Today was going to be a good day.
It did not take long for Tim to bolt down his breakfast of placenta and curdled breast milk, and throw on a shirt and shorts. He was soon perched on his Vespa, cruising down the streets
Exhilarated from the ride, Timothy jogged in the lift on his way up the lift, until finally he reached the top. From the sour stench of sweat and old pizza, Timothy guessed he was at the right place. A chubby man weaved down the hall, smelling herbal and with glazed red eyes, trying to hide his erection. Timothy was about to demean himself in the most disgusting way possible, but it would be worth it.
The next week was so filled with turgid, phantasmagorial horrors that Timothy preferred to forget it. Images burst unbidden into his mind - a man stroking his veined member, the gelatinous feel of semen, the pain of the penetration into unnatural places. Finally, CmdrTaco stopped the dehumanising humiliation.
"Timothy, you've got the job. I'll set your editor account right away."
...a home theater device that will play not only DVDs, but media clips off the network. Supported types include DivX, Xvid, Mpeg1 & 2, MP3 and WMA. Unfortunatly, in trials it attract large herds of cattle.
How long before these devices are all black labeled or, simply squashed by the Media Congloms, or legislation?
Now on the Coolness, factor alone. DAMN!! I want one. I can see this as a great boon, to non pcliterati, and hardware crusty's as well. I just have to break some hardware here at the house to something like that under wife-radar.
My cat's picked up a Hammer. HEY! Put down that Hammer. Put Down that Hamm...THUNK!
must hang.
