How-to video details HDD installation process in Popcorn Hour's A-100 {Engadget HD}
Jul 7th 2008 11:59PM It isn't difficult except for those who are unfamiliar with installing computer parts in general. Remember the first time you opened a case to install a CPU or even a hard drive with jumper selection? A bit intimidating unless you had already seen it done or read some good instructions. Hence the value of this video.
This isn't of value for many of us techies, but certainly is for others. A bit more valuable would be a video on how to install a laptop's hard drive in the Popcorn Hour. I was able to, but I've seen a few very technical forums where the question repeatedly comes up, specifically what adapter will fit.
Monster Cable at it again, sues mini-golf company {Engadget HD}
May 27th 2008 10:53AM I don't know what you are talking about, Andy. A few weeks ago I went to Monster Mini Golf, and asked for a green ball, a putter without dents in it, and a 4 meter HDMI 1000hd Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable for suggested retail of $199.95. To my surprise, the attendant declared he could only accomodate my first two requests. On that day I swore I would never buy from Monster again because a company that doesn't have proper cable inventory at its mini golf courses does not deserve my business.

May 27th 2008 12:10AM Some dummy corporations I suggest:
Monster Cabal
Monster Kabul
Bobby Picket of the Monster Mash song (recorded 1962) should sue Monster Cable (founded 1979) to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Popcorn Hour's A-100 HD media streamer publicly available for pre-order {Engadget HD}
May 2nd 2008 10:51AM In the US there is tax in CA and shipping costs $15. Payment is made through Google Checkout.
I ordered mine on April 21, 2008, credit card was charged three days later, and as of May 1, no status change. This is standard for this company and I don't doubt they will deliver -- just showing that only order if you are willing to wait a number of weeks.
