Congressional hearings regarding NBC and Comcast merger and the blocking of Hulu content on Boxee was brought to the table yesterday. Zucker stating that he is open to offering Hulu to Boxee, but only through a licensing agreement. Which is a contradiction of a comment made months earlier by Hulu management.

Flash Beta 10.1 now has an updated version. They have gone from version 1p to 2p as of December 17, 2009. Nvidia also updated their Ion video driver to to a 195.81 Beta.
Though, some users of these latest beta releases on Ion machines have claimed to have lower overall quality of playback. Some had dramatically lower quality. I hope to test both out here real shortly and post some updates.
And since Boxee Beta now supports Flash and Silverlight GPU acceleration, this is a match made in heaven!

Ok, I made an Boxee Application called Soma FM 2. Why #2? Well, another developer made a Soma FM app some months ago. But, it did not list all 18 channels available on Soma FM and it would take over a minute or two to load on Boxee. So, I thought, let’s expand upon his initial idea and make a new and improved version. Yes, I did email him via the address inside his app code, but there was no reply. (more…)

Nothing says it like a picture or in this case video. Here are three Acer Revo 3610 Atom Ion Video demos covering H.264 files, Hulu Desktop & IE, and Boxee. They will give the understanding of how smoothly the unit plays! Since I did not shoot this in HD, as I don’t have a HD cam yet, you will not get to see the fantastic clarity of the HD picture the Revo 3610 creates. I found that no one yet has posted any video of the 3610 on Youtube or Vimeo showing its functionality. So, I thought, why not? I’m not a great demo commentator or professional at this, so be gentle.

So, I got my Acer Revo the other day and decided to show a few un-boxing pics. I figured this would tide you over until I finish the testing I’m doing for a full on user review. I was in a rush to plug the darn thing in, so my photography skills were lacking that day. But, here goes….
