It's the reason GE isn't selling their Fort Wayne plant. It used to be where they made a ton of stuff. But the ground there is so toxic no one would ever buy it and GE doesn't want to clean it up. So they're just sitting on it and paying the property taxes.

And who provides all of these magical OSS drivers? Because at the end of the day my nVidia HTPC plays 1080P movies no problem and my AMD rig does nothing. (Well, I put an nvidia card in it now).

Nvidia takes the money that I give them and makes drivers, binary, closed source, what ever. But drivers. AMD takes the money I give them. squanders it and then goes "Hey, hey, look. Here's all the documentation for everything! You may not have a working machine, but you got all the documentation!"

Same here. I'm still cranking away on an old Nvidia card. Meanwhile the ATI card I bought 2 years ago was dropped in a recent update.

Nvidia makes cards that work. And software to go with those cards. Anytime someone wants to build a HTPC I always suggest Nvidia, because their VDPAU drivers *work*.

I love my Asus Transformer. My other primary laptop is my work Dell 17". Anytime I'm flying or going to see family I usually leave the work laptop. The tablet does 90% of what I need it to.

And I even have a chroot of Debian on an SD card. So if I ever do need a full blown linux (PHP, lighttpd, etc) i can just run that.

Sickbeard is the "DVR" app that cable companies should have released. I would have even paid for it. Web accessable. I log in. I type in a show. Say I want it. Tada. Shows magically appear on my hard drive.

I can put them on my phone, my tablet my laptop. XBMC indexes them they're available on my TV and projector.
