I was going to ask - any suggestions for good docking station/speaker combos? I like the iHome, but my wife doesn't want to have a clock radio by the bed, because . . . . Well, just because.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Basically the Bose [link] rocks but is pricey. JBL [link] is great too. I wasn't thrilled with the Altec.

I have a friend who as the Bose and loves it. I believe she found it slightly cheaper at an outlet mall.

Yeah, I really love the Bose. It's also got a remote which it very very useful though it wasn't a feature I would have thought about before purchase.
I know Kristin has a Bose too. I think I know that other audiophile Buffistas do as well.

I've just tested the region-free hack for my Philips DVP642 (7-8-9-OK-0 with the tray open), and can confirm that it works beautifully! We can now play the Spaced DVDs that DH's brother bought us from England. Woot!
[eta that I did have to reset the video input to Component afterwards, but defaulting back to S-video seems to be something that this model does whenever anything else changes.]

I've been given the task of doing the research for a family member who wants satellite radio for Christmas. He'll be using it mostly in his small pickup and he drives a lot. Anyone have any experience with this?

My dad has XM (in his car and another dock in the house), and he loves it.

I've have Sirius for about two years now and love it.
If the family member is an NPR fan Sirius is the way to go. If they are a baseball fan, then it's XM, if they are an NFL fan, then it's back to Sirius. Basically each network has signed a bunch of exclusive deals.

All is well that ends in pizza.
