This article, while good for people who "somehow" ended up with MKVs, completely ignores the whole reason people are using the MKV container: we want H.264 video while keeping the unaltered DTS or AC3 soundtrack.


How To Perfectly Convert MKV to MP4 for Apple TV

Correct, the new Apple TV does have an 8GB SSD hard drive. The issue is that I don't think Boxee has been ported to the ARM architecture, which is what the A4 processor is.

I don't remember whether it was a brown or an amber but it only came in the bigger bottle. Pretty close to New Belgium's Fat Tire, although not quite.

For a "pool beer" nothing can beat Simpler Times. The lager is 6.2% and waaaaaaaay tastier than any beer in that price range by far at $2.99 for a six pack of cans.

Agreed again and again. CAT6 in every room and Insteon outlets and switches. Media closet is great idea but intimidating for some as tote control, etc. Insteon even has programmable thermostats and garage door openers. An entire house system should only run about $2000 and can be controlled with an old Mac Mini.

I've said ever since I was in middle school, living in Goodrich (near Flint, north of Detroit), that they should wipe both cities flat and start over. What a glorious way to do so! I'd be tempted to go back and be a part of it.

I'd check out these "institutional strength" 6 gauge vinyl covers. They're from the Bedwetting Store but I'm assuming that means they know what they're talking about when it comes to "water"-proofing ;) It sounds like they're zippered, but you could probably double-up for not that much money. http://bedwettingstore.com/Bedding/6g.htm
