A smattering of opinions on technology, books, business, and culture. Now in its 4th technology iteration.

* External audio solutions – the pc is electrically noisy and the amp circuits on sound cards are not that great – maybe we should be moving all this functionality out of the pc (or the electical/amp characteristics of a pc should be more like an audio amp) * One man’s attempt at widescreen gaming. Salivate. * Raid in a single drive bay. I guess this is the natural complement to a dual core processor – dual core hard drives! * Jeff Ort on color management. Man this stuff is complicated. * A PC PVR with 6 tuners. * Saiteck PC Gamer keyboard. I totally need this.
So what is the theme to all this? Besides “stuff that I want to buy?” My observation is that the PC Hardware industry continues to innovate like mad, and is going to wipeout all the standalone media boxes, settop boxes, etc.
