My Area 51 Athlon 1.4 GHz that I bought in 2000 is sitting in my closet running ubuntu, and making all my Hulu-on-PS3 dreams come true. No latency issues there.

I got my parents the LG BD300 for Christmas, and I had it all set up and going while everyone was still opening presents. No problems connecting to the network, not a single tweak necessary. And I've also always had luck at my house with the XBox and HD content.... not that there is a tremendous amount of it, but I don't consider popping in my 30 Rock or The Office DVDs anymore when I have instant access to HD streams of them.

Wow. That's the most ridiculous graphic I've ever seen.

FYI... here's the drive from Activision to Barker Hanger, where E3 was last year. Maybe they didn't want to drive the extra four miles to downtown, where it'll be this year...

I'm pretty sure I saw Spike Lee using one of these during the Lakers broadcast yesterday. Didn't know what it was, but here it is.

I totally forgot! I took a picture of this a few days ago! For those local, this one is on the corner of Olympic and Westwood.

I've got the older model of one of these sitting right next to me right now, as well as the 27" in the office. Actually, all the monitors here are Panny professional line. They're pretty indispensable to pro editors.

And like David said, they totally shame consumer sets. I have a 120hz 1080p 47" Sharp that I paid over $3k for, and it doesn't come close to the color accuracy.

I have not yet seen it (planning on buying it today), but I assume my favorite scene will involve someone getting stabbed with a sword, and the spillage of blood.

I mean, yeah, I guess. It's sorta on my way home from work. Why is it at an office, and not at a bar/restaurant-ish thinggy with happy hour offerings?

I used to work across the street from that place... I'm sure I can figure my way into there. Doubt they'll have too much security.

Although, it'll be strange given that it's in the same place they had halloween carnivals when I was like, 6...
