Automatic HDMI Switch for $170
IOGear have launched an automatic HDMI switch for £170 in the US. Mikael thinks this is expensive, but I don’t think it’s too bad given that a standard switch costs twice that in the UK. This could be the answer to my current problem where I only have one HDMI input on [...]

I don’t know how realistic this rumour is, but [...]
Virgin Mobile Reject Ntl Offer
As expected Virgin Mobile have rejected ntl’s offer as too low, despite majority shareholder Richard Branson backing the deal. Richard Branson said that he was 90% certain that the deal will get done.
I really hope so. As an employee of one of the cable companies I can’t tell you how excited this potential [...]
