Associate Tech Reviews for November 4, 2012

I can’t believe it is already Movember.  A time of year when all the men grow the best mustaches in support of charity.

Looking forward to all the great looks.

HIGHLIGHT REVIEW

First Look – Ceton Echo Windows Media Extender @MissingRemote

The XBOX 360 has ruled the Windows Media Center (WMC) extender market since it killed off third-party completion with the release of Windows Vista, but for many the brutish gaming consoles size, appetite for electricity, and unpleasant noise levels made it unwelcome in the A/V stack. With a lithe chassis, miserly power consumption, and a modern system-on-a-chip (SOC) offering the potential for proper HD file support the Ceton Echo could be just the thing to breathe fresh life into Microsofts aging platform. Our sample just arrived so it has not been run through the wringer yet, but since the hardware is set and pre-orders starting it is worth taking a look to getting a basic understanding of what the Echo has to offer. Check back later for our full review when the software is finalized.
