Amazon Kindle Fire
Today, Amazon introduced the Kindle Fire tablet. I watched a few news reports and to summarize: The Kindle Fire is fast using a dual processor, it can run Android Apps but you gotta get them from Amazon (not a bad thing). One analyst says it is NOT an iPad killer since the Kindle Fire is…

Logitech Harmony 650 Remote
Lori could not learn the process I had for watching a movie on the blu-ray or on VUDU. Geeez what is her problem? Using a combination of three remotes, 27 button pushes, and moving one wire (just kidding)….it was easy! She wanted me to write the process down….well, I do not have time to write…

VUDU Adds Glee and Modern Family
(Our VUDU) As my loyal reader….you know what I feel about VUDU (and here, and here). Also see our movie reviews on ForCarol.com, a lot of what we watch is on VUDU. Now that VUDU is embedded in new TV’s, Blu-Ray players, etc., you no longer need the separate box that we have. There…

VUDU Integrates Technology
Rating: 5 WaterTowers (awesome integration of technologies in the home) What is VUDU? VUDU is a device that uses peer-to-peer video streaming to deliver high definition (or standard definition) movies to your TV via the Internet.

VUDU Price Reduced
If you have not read my VUDU Review blog, now may be a good time. The basic VUDU unit (good enuf for me) is now selling for $149.00. Watching movies downloaded from the Internet has never been so easy and so enjoyable. I gave VUDU 5 WaterTowers a year ago and only recently…

Internet Movies and Blu Ray
I’ve been thinking. A very dangerous thing, I know. But I was wondering how the likes of VUDU (see my review), AppleTV, the Blockbuster (see my blog entry) and NetFlix (see my blog entry) streaming video players will effect (hmmm, is that right? effect, affect?) the life of Blu-Ray. A few weeks ago,…
