They can undercut all they want but their glass is horrible. I bought one of their TVs and told everyone I had it stolen because I couldn't take the picture quality.
I know that Google sure uses this info. How do you think that they can tell you what the condition your street that you travel on is in (as in green red or yellow)? Every smart phone that uses Google maps contributes to this. With their history of accidentally collecting data on wifi networks, who knows what else they are doing with this.
I've had a popcorn hour A110 for a couple of years and can say hands down that it way out performs an Apple TV running Boxee. It can handle everything from avi to wmv and does it pretty well. It even has a bit torrent client.
You can stream from a network share or copy the content to the hard drive. I'm not sure what the bit rate limits are on each format but it does a good job decoding many different formats.
I'll agree that the streaming from the internet is a little quirky. They used to have a youtube channel but it no longer works. For the price, it is a good solution and there is a pretty strong community behind it.
There is a house in Frisco (just north of Dallas) that has been doing this for several years. They have a small site and it gives descriptions, pictures and video. You can see it here.
We usually take our daughter to see it every year.
The roads are very narrow. Outside the US, most cars are tiny compared to our gas hogs and they seem to be quite cozy traveling through these streets.. Look it up on Google Earth. Lat. 5124'36.35"N Lon. 240'43.03"W
I just had a drive crash in a laptop. I couldn't get the windows disk to reformat or repartition my drive. Knoppix to the rescue. I repartitioned the drive and then that other OS was finally able to reformat and re-install. I now keep a Knoppix disk with me where ever I go.
The color blue exists at the low end of the spectrum of visible light. The bluer the color, the harder it is to focus on. The wavelengths are so short that they won't focus on the retna properly, hence blue is blurry.
It is a common thing to see a deep blue color and not be able to distinguish edges but notice a "glow" around the colors.

I'm truly amazed that he made all of the conclusions from the safety of his mother's basement.

Oh great, now I can't find my keys.
