Watch the video (and try not to barf at the sickly oversell)
Guys,
Dont know if you saw on TV by Curry are selling the LG 2262D LCD for a 180 quid. Its 22in Full 1080P and uses the same screen from their high-end monitor range. I picked one up today and installed in next to my BenQ as a TV/second monitor. It has 2 HDMI , DVI, RGB Video and 2 scart inputs plus a bunch of optical and digital sound inputs.
I have to say i am very impressed, TV pic looks good but the monitor performance at 1080p is blowing me away is almost as good as the BenQ. Ive set up Media Center and XBMC Camalot to running full screen on the LG and HD and standard video perfomance it excellent. I really am loving it!!
While on the subject XBMC has won me back. The new release of XBMC Camalot is excellent. Deffo going on the main box downstairs if i can get the control to work too!!

So how long before Avatar takes Titanic & now that James Cameron has the number 1 & 2 biggest grossing films of all time, how much will Avatar 2 make?!
See the all time box office grosses (which is nerdy but interesting to see how much some right howlers made):
Dropbox invite
Dec 14
Hi maties.
I am trying out dropbox and wondered if you have seen it/tried it? It’s a funky util to sync files between any pc. Supports all OSs, inlcuding iPhone. A handy app to get stuff onto my iPhone and sharing bookmarks/password files between work and home bla bla. It’s 256bit encrypted too so as safe as it gets.
Also, if you add your account, I get 250MB of space added!
I bet youve all read this….

While searching on Google i found this page and started reading. Some very funny stuff that i am sure you nerds while tell me is just like your normal working day.
Google Dashboard shows you all the Google related info linked to your Google account.
It seems that I use quite a bit of Google products! Very clever page, I love how simple they make such a BIG process look.

Had to do a clean up of my drives and needed a hand. This app is the dogs for reviewing what’s where. And it has been coded very nicely.
