Ken Block's new Gymkhana III video, starring a 650HP Ford Fiesta, is epic, but
HDCP's "master key" that locks down Blu-ray disks might be public!
Intel's new 2nd Generation Intel Core Processor, formerly known as Sandy Bridge, includes dedicated hardware in the core to acellerate HD video transcoding and playback! This will be a great part for notebooks and low power Home Theater PCs!
Boxee has started pre-orders for The Boxee Box, and annoucned they're going with an Atom chip instead of nVidia's Tegra system on a chip. Apparently Boxee just couldn't get 1080p H.264 video running well on the Tegra. We'll also see some new Roku soon according to reports on WirelessGoodness.com

Where do we spend less for our HDTV gear? Joe wrote in with one our favorite places for cheap HDMI cables, switches, speaker wire and a whole lot more: Monoprice.com. Another HD Nation favorite is BlueJeansCable.com, they offer some great deals on high quality cables!
JR's slowly fallen in love with Bluetooth's "no need for a lien of sight" nature, thanks to the PS3 remote. He's looking for an A/V Receiver that offers Bluetooth in the remote. We don't know of any, but we do know of a universal remote that should answer JR's needs!
Ralph's curious about the Neoya HDMI adapter for the Wii he saw on Techland.com and writes, "I found this connector online and thought about getting it to simplify my connections. I know it won't put the Wii in true HD, but it's a cool gadget." Cnet says the Neoya Wii2HDMI works... and we've got the word on Nintendo's interest in making a new HD Wii!
