New CyberNet Feature: Classic RSS Feeds

I finished a new feature for the site last weekend that I've been wanting to do for months. Several sites that I read will, on occasion, write about posts that they had put together a year or two ago (Lifehacker for example).

With that you would be able to create a ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection to the device so that it can be used as a modem.

Blu-ray Destined to be the HD Winner?

This is not good news for the HD DVD camp if it turns out to be true.  According to The Digital Bits, Paramount and Universal will be following the footsteps of Warner Brothers and making the big switch to Blu-ray.  That means that HD DVD is seriously wounded in this battle and they're about to lose big-time to Blu-ray.

For those of you who read the site regularly, you probably know by now that I have a Flickr Pro account. It's just $25 per year, and offers unlimited photo storage and bandwidth.
