Is Hulu finally coming to the living room? How many hard drives does it take to contain your movie collection? Internet Traffic Will Quadruple in 4 Years, and the Blu-ray releases for June 8th, 2010.
Rumor has it that Hulu will finally break into the living room via the XBox 360! Will it be free as it is on the desktop, or will it be part of their new premium offerings? If we're lucky, we'll hear an update on this at E3. If you're tired of needing glasses to view 3D, you'll be happy to hear that Taiwan's Industrial Research Institute is predicting glasses-free 3D HDTVs by 2015! Cisco, whose name you might recognize from a router, is predicting internet traffic to quadruple by 2014, with 90% of that content as video. THIS WEEK ONLY, you can get a 20% discount on any SlySoft product, including one of our favorite backup tools: AnyDVD HD. Ceton delays the release of their InfiniTV 4 CableCARD tuner, with no new date available, putting a dent in Robert's planned upgrade for his HTPC.
