PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE
PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE: "asciimonster writes 'AnandTech has completed its second review of set-top box Personal Video Recorders. After checking out the Linux-based MythTV, previously covered here on slashdot, they compared it to Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004. 'Our analysis has proved that though Media Center Edition 2004 is a boxed package that is easy to set up and configure, it looks amazingly beautiful, has great features such as On-Demand content, and is fully supported by Microsoft. However, for the enthusiast, MythTV takes the gold for its greater support for a variety of hardware and software codecs.'' "

Free Ipod and Free Flat Screen Offer Legit
Free Ipod and Free Flat Screen Offer Legit
Thanks to the people that signed up for free ipods under my referral, BUT for it to "count" you'd need to complete one of the offers (both to help satisfy my need of 5 referrals with offer completion, AND so that you can be eligible to get your free ipod). So, if you'd be so kind as to login in and sign up for AOL or something (and remember to cancel prior to the trial expiring) i'd appreciate it =)
A Boston NBC station did an "expose" on the free ipod thingie. You can read a transcript of the broadcast about free ipods, or wath the windows media archive of the free ipod story (fast forward to 15:15)
For those of you who don't want ipods there's also Free Desktop PC's and Free Flat Screen TV's and Flat Screen Monitors (same deal applies, sign up, complete an offer, refer 8 friends for flat screen TV, or 10 friends for Desktop PC).
I strongly suggest creating a junkmail account, but hotmail/etc dumps the verification message from these people right into junkmail so white list them or check your junk/spam mail...
Wired article on the free ipod phenomenon
Not that this is a definitive source, but a guy in a forum I frequent got his Free 27" Sony WEGA Free from free flat screens the other day (*jealous*)
