Passwords, passwords, passwords…

April 1st, 2010 3 comments

So I’m sick of passwords. I’m sick of every single site I visit asking me to create a new password. And I’m definitely tired of the varying rules on what my login and password can be.

Some want your email, some want you to select a user name. Some passwords can be alphanumeric only, some must contain at least 8 characters, some don’t allow the use of ASCII symbols like ‘#’ and ‘&’.

It’s, quite frankly, a mess. Read more…

Netflix 2.0 on Xbox LIVE

August 10th, 2009 4 comments

Netflix seems to be updating its interface on the new Xbox LIVE update coming tomorrow. Why I think this is significant is that it finally adds the ability to browse titles and add them to your queue sans PC… Currently, you have to leave the Xbox 360, pull up your desktop/laptop and add new titles to your queue. The Netflix interface on all current BD players, televisions and the Xbox 360 only allow you to watch the current queue. Read more…

July 24th, 2009 13 comments

audioholics20website2We want your feedback!

The NEW Audioholics 3.0 website is deploying at the end of the month. We don’t want to link it up directly, but users can get a sneak peek at http://beta.audioholics.com:90

We’re interested in bug reports, not feature requests. Please post your bugs here.

Hint: If your post begins withлаптоп “It would be really cool if…” then we will probably delete or ignore the post. We’ll have plenty of time for feature requests later – for now, however, please focus on letting us know if anything actually breaks.

Keep in mind that the system may be a tad slow as it’s being worked on and is not on the final hardware where it will reside.

We look forward to your feedback. Thanks and enjoy the sneak peek!

Instead of getting you a Christmas podcast this year, we decided to get you this… ah… Christmas post to let you know how much we love you and wish you a Merry Christmas.

CEDIA is Coming – Caller ID Rocks!

August 27th, 2008 1 comment

As always, the road to CEDIA is paved with phone calls. Lots of them. You can tell the competency of the PR company by how soon they begin sending product info and inquiring about booth appointments of those going to the show. The good companies (there are only a few of these) prep early and dribble email-based news and phone calls weeks before the show.
