Vocabulary lesson / words you should know MYKA & WOOT

MYKA
is a Recently announced new product called Myka. While the product wont be out until summer, it appears to be just what us torrent addicted television watchers need.
Its a TV Receiver in a box, but its not. Its BitTorrent in a box compete with hard disk, USB, a nic card and wifi, for input and it pumps out in HDMI /composite RCA and digital sound.
For me I have media player which does the video processing, but I still need a laptop or server to download the media. With this little all in one unit... Thats all you need It has a bit torrent client built in.


For under 500 bucks for a 500 gig drive, media player, and installed Torrent/linux machine. What better way to blow your tax refund or economic stimulus check than a device will enable you to cancel your NetFlix and Cable Accounts. !!! Forever.
Google it I can tell you that if this thing was for sale back in 2004, I would have got it, not the IO Data and media server.

Woot

What is woot. Its daily listing of something for sale at usually ridiculous prices .I have seen a 2 gig sd card for 5 bucks, Today they have 14 speed blender for 19.00 , yesterday was mini remote control helicopter for 10 bucks.
Check for your woot every day.. Never know, you might find something you just too good to pass up.
