AMD's All-in-One Media Machine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kitchen-sink-not-included dept.

Drakewolf writes to tell us that despite the many failed attempts to bridge the gap between the PC and home entertainment systems, AMD has released several new products at CES under their LIVE! brand. The centerpiece was the AMD LIVE! Home Cinema, an all-in-one device that combines a set-top cable box, stereo receiver, DVD player, digital video recorder, and a PC.

    here is the official (English language version) website for the subject product. http://www2.amdlive.com/us-en/ AMDLive appears to be simply a media software suite available on computers with AMD processors.

    It won't happen for a few reasons. 1) Microsoft doesn't hold a trademark on "Live!", sort of makes it hard to sue for that, 2) The trademark they have is for "XBox Live", 3) The people with the closes trademark ("Live!") is actually Creative Labs.
