Mavromatic Reviews the Nobu N8 In-Wall Touchscreen Computer - Danny at Mavromatic.com has produced another excellent video demo/review. This time he takes a look at the Nobu N8 in-wall touchscreen computer and finds that it meets all of his needs exceeding well and is a better option than using a hacked together Tablet PC or UMPC to accomplish similar duties. The N8 Nobu runs Windows XP embedded OS for added stability, offers a wide array of I/O ports, is rated for in-wall use (so you won't be breaking any building codes), and provides an easy to use custom touchscreen interface to manage home automation devices with a few taps of the finger.

Microsoft Drops PlaysForSure Label for ?Certified for Windows Vista?
2007-12-14 16:01:00
Microsoft Drops PlaysForSure Label for ?Certified for Windows Vista ? - As many of you know, Microsoft and partners created a whole media player eco-system based around the PlaysForSure DRM platform that allowed consumer who bought media that was PlaysForSure compatible to work on any such branded player. Well, now the company has decided to drop the moniker and label all designed for Windows products, “Certified for Windows Vista .” Unfortunately, this move creates a slight problem for consumers. Geoff Duncan at Digital Trends explains it well: “The problem, of course, is that plenty of things are 'Certified for Windows Vista' that are not compatible with PlaysForSure services and devices.
