    Jriver has opened a kickstarter campaign to replace WMC. I've been using jriver for a while now. Its not as pretty as MB3 (now called Emby) but it works extremely well and its much faster and smoother. Here's the link...

    Microcenter and AMD

    I wish I had a microcenter or fry's near me. If I could pick up an a10-7850k + motherboard and 8gb of ram for less than $200 I would upgrade my setup.

    Been gone 5 years

    Is the a10-7850k that bad? I feel like with dx12 coming out in July it will give it a nice boost in gaming and processor-wise it should be decent enough. Hell I've been using an intel z3735 tablet and its sufficient for my normal usage (web browsing, docs, video streaming.)

    AMD’s 6th Generation Carrizo APUs Officially Launched and Detailed

    https://communities.intel.com/thread/59216 And I think whatever is supported is a "hybrid" decode and not full hardware.

    Laptop Duel -- Can't Decide between Yoga 2 Pro / Lenovo Y40

    Don't know how anyone can recommend the yoga 2 pro with its extremely awful wifi. Had a friend pick one up and it rarely connects to wifi and when it does its incredibly slow. Its a shame that he spend $1000 on a laptop and then has to go open it up to replace the wifi card for something not...

    Low Cost x86 mini PCs

    I have a Lenovo miix 2 8" that has the same processor I think and it runs every video (h.264, h.265) fairly well. CPU usage is high but don't notice any stuttering or audio going out of sync. This is also displaying to the fairly low resolution screen of the tablet, so trying to push 1080p may...
