Ya know, I wonder what the legal ramifications would be for someone if they downloaded a movie to the box that didn't quite meet local community standards. They're storing the movie on a harddrive in your home, and by signing the terms of service, you're allowing them to do it.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe you can V-chip the DVR?

If a movie is downloaded to a harddrive, and no one is there to watch it, does it still make a noise?

Maybe, but the chip would have to prevent it from downloading to the harddrive.

Depends on the jurisdiction.

Hey. New board.
If those are pictures, than the "Media Centre" gives me huge wonderings about things like built-in TV out and possibly Media software...
Doesn't look like there's a TV tuner on there, unfortunately.

I could tell that those pictures were fake, even before this site confirmed it.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Ummm, I could see what Woodside was talking about without the benefit of photoshop but why should a slightly raised and slightly different colour, section on that unit, mean it's a fake?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, we'll know in two days, right?
I'm just waiting to see if PowerLogix announces their Dual G4/1.2-1.4GHz upgrade for the Cube.
