Terence Huynh — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:16:21 +0000

While reminding ourselves about the past, the future decided to give us a kick up the butt. HD DVD is going to die, maybe. Microsoft is going to not do anything that is not illegal, maybe. And Telstra has now got good news - that is a definite Yes!

02: Is Your TV Broken

Terence Huynh — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:12:25 +0000

CES has come and gone and some pranksters have decided to turn off the TVs around the event. Well, have no fear… Panasonic has a 150-inch plasma that would replace the screens. Well, maybe only one… if you can afford it.

Though Terence Huynh is posting this up, he did not participate on the show. This does contain strong language.
