Al Jazeera has been one of the best sources of news coming out of the Middle East lately. The problem for news junkies like us is that cable and satellite companies in the U.S. don't carry it. You can watch it as a live stream on your PC, but who wants to squint at a 15-inch laptop screen when you've got a nice, 42-inch TV sitting in your living room? Thankfully, there are a few ways to get Al ...

There's another streaming media box on the market, but you won't be able to find the 'Scooby-Doo' movie on it. Oh, wait -- yes, you can. That is, if you're looking for the version that features Shaggy and Fred double-teaming Velma inside Old Man Withers' haunted dildo factory. Those meddling kids! But seriously, the FyreTV streaming porno box (NSFW link, obviously) is perhaps the best gift ...

Boxee Box early adopters, your long and arduous wait is over: Netflix is here! Boxee will begin pushing automatic updates later this week, but you impatient types can force the update by going to 'Settings' under the 'System' page. The app is all new, and much slicker than the hacked-together version on the desktop Boxee software. So what are you waiting for? Go get that update. ...

Netflix wants to make sure when you think streaming movies you think of it and its iconic white on red logo. To that end, we've learned, that the company has actually managed to convince a number of companies to put a dedicated Netflix button on their remotes. In the spring, Internet-connected Blu-ray players and TVs from the likes of Sony, Haier, Dynex (Best Buy's in house brand), Panasonic, ...

It's been pretty obvious since day one that Boxee envisioned its software running on a variety of devices, and that the D-Link Boxee Box was just the beginning. Now Iomega (of Zip Drive fame) wants in on the burgeoning streaming media box market and, instead of flocking to Google TV, it picked the upstarts at Boxee to power its new line of Iomega TV devices. Though the outward design is ...

Better late than never they say, and Boxee is hoping its customers agree. Both VUDU and Netflix were supposed to arrive on the Boxee Box by the end of 2010, but it's three days into 2011 and both services are still MIA. The company now says that VUDU will arrive next week and Netflix would land by the end of January. We just hope Hulu isn't far behind. ...

The poor, issue-laden Boxee Box has had a rough go of it. The streaming media box has been in a seemingly constant war with Hulu, and, after announcing at last year's CES that Boxee would launch using NVIDIA's Tegra 2 hardware, the manufacturer had to switch to an Intel-based solution, since getting the software running on NVIDIA's hardware proved to be too difficult. Despite of all the obstacles ...

The Boxee Box is finally here! Last night, at an event here in New York City, the Boxee crew celebrated the release of its much-hyped -- and overly delayed -- streaming media box. The booze-soaked event celebrated the launch of the angular box, but also marked the official launch of the new Boxee software, which has finally shed the beta tag. With version 1.0, Boxee is proclaiming that it's ...

The much hyped and delayed Boxee Box is almost here. The video streaming wünderbox, available for pre-order now on Amazon for $199, will start shipping in November to the entertainment-starved masses. One big change on the inside -- NVIDIA's Tegra 2 has gotten the boot in favor of an Intel Atom piece, just like the upcoming Google TV boxes. ...

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines.... HTC's's much-hyped Evo 4G for Sprint officially arrives June 4th, with a $199 post-rebate price. Yesterday, Sprint revealed the model's default specs, which include a 1-gigahertz processor, an 8-megapixel camera, video chat capabilities and an 8-gigabyte SD card. The phone also awesomely lets users link up to eight other devices ...

What it is. Boxee is the most hyped media center software to ever hit the market. It's supposed to change the way we watch TV, how we discover new content, and solve global warming. Okay, maybe not that last part, but you can only expect so much from what amounts to a prettied-up version of the open-source XBMC (Xbox Media Center). ...

Well, it's official: media-center software suite Boxee is getting a box. The Boxee Box already got a kind-of-sort-of debut, but here at CES, D-Link is giving the angular media streaming device a proper coming out. The chopped and tilted cube can play almost any video or audio format you throw at it over 802.11n, including Flash 10.1 video -- meaning that even if it's not officially supported, ...

For home theater junkies who've been having a difficult time taking the Apple TV seriously, you should definitely have a look at what the latest software update brings to the dinner table. First off, we should warn you that any non-Apple TV software (like, you know, Boxee) will be banished should you choose to update, but if you're kosher on that front, we'll continue on. Apple's changelog notes ...
