Mvix Launches MX-760HD Wireless Media Center
All things considered, the Mvix MV-5000U Multimedia Center was a viable option for those seeking a solid, inexpensive solution to their media storage and playback needs. However, the notable absence of built in WiFi / LAN connectivity and HD support left some room for improvement.

Russia Shuts Down AllofMP3.com Under U.S. Pressure
At the request of the U.S., Russia has agreed to shut down AllofMP3.com, a website that sells digital music at low prices without copyright protection.
Apparently, AllofMP3.com defends their legality, citing the “YouTube defense,” i.e. that the website will comply with requests from copyright holders to remove material from the site.

Dog / Cat Eye Pillow: Officially The Stupidest Thing I Have Ever Seen

Download Movies, Burn Them - Coming in 2007 (Maybe)
Time Warner announced that in 2007 they plan to offer a service for their customers to download a movie and burn it to DVD. They also claim that they plan to release them the same day the DVD is released. Sounds great to me, but have they run this by the MPAA yet? Somehow, with [...]
NeoTune iPod Dockable Headphones (Verdict: Hideous)
The NeoTune iPod Headphones may only cost $43, but you are sure to get a lifetime of ass-kickings free with the purchase. Now that’s value.
