Oct 13th 2009 11:16AM Agree with ya on "The Proposal", the wife and I watched it (not really expecting much at all) and ended up enjoying it a bunch.
Redbox scores deal with Disney, Lions Gate and Sony {Engadget HD}
Jul 21st 2009 11:36AM They're getting _too_ popular. :-)
I used to be able to walk up at any time and get a new release. At this point, forget stopping by after work; online reservations are the way to go. Although it's still a hassle to wait while someone is browsing the screens over and over and over...
On the other hand though, I'm seeing more of the larger retail locations put in a second box.
At $1 a day Redbox is perfect for consumers, not so much for Hollywood {Engadget HD}
Apr 4th 2009 12:02AM Love the Redbox! My Netflix queue is pretty long, so I can use the free rental codes they send out on Monday to keep up to date with recent releases.
Popcorn Hour A-110 review {Engadget HD}
Mar 18th 2009 1:08PM I had some pretty bad heat issues with an internal 1.5TB installed. I ended up replacing the lid for one with a cutout for a case fan. After that, no more random lockups.

Redbox CEO talks up DVD rental business, streaming competitors {Engadget HD}
Jan 4th 2009 2:34PM I agree, Redbox is fantastic.
I like that you can check out your local redbox out online and reserve a DVD before you go to the store. Another nice feature is that they send out free DVD codes on Mondays, so you get a free rental once a week.
I do use Netflix too, but my queue is so large now that I can grab the latest hit on redbox without having to wait for it to work its way through my NetFlix queue.
Nanovision Mimo UM-710 hands-on and impressions {Engadget}
Dec 26th 2008 8:10PM Streaming from sling.com doesn't work, but Netflix streaming works great (finally found a use for F11 in IE). I have a movie running in the Mimo, while everything else is running well on the other 2 screens. In fullscreen detects Mimo screen size just fine. Hulu works great too, but the full screen isn't detected correctly.
I was wondering how the video would stream, but no issues there.

Dec 26th 2008 5:36PM Just got mine set up and so far so good on a WinXP Pro system as the 3rd monitor.
Only thing I have seen a problem with so far is the Sling player. Each time I try to run the Sling player with video enabled, there are problems which require shutting down the player with the task manager. Windows Media Player works well...
Right now, I have it sitting on a web page where I have some web app statuses running and it's nice to see that stuff out there without having to flip to it.
Why this instead of a 3rd 21" monitor? Well... the video card has no more free connections, my desk has no more room, and I was intrigued by the concept of a dedicated monitor, versus alt-tabbing.
It'd be nice if it could sense the rotated position, but the system tray app they provide works well.
