Get the Most Out of Your TV, No Matter Your Budget
December 10, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO - A TV can't do much by itself. To get true movie sound, you need to supplement it with a home theater system: a digitally friendly amplifier, a large subwoofer, and at least five satellite speakers (or something like Yamaha's YSP-1000 virtual surround sound set).

September 08, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO- Those who follow this space and the words that fill it know that I have a love/hate relationship with my Apple TV.

I hate it because it's far-too-prone to doing nothing in an impudent sort of way as I impotently mash the Apple Remote's controls over and over again.
