UberGizmo When I first heard about this gadget, I was excited by the idea of having a device that would record TV shows directly in MPEG-4 format, rather than in MPEG-2. I imagined it to be a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), like a mini-TiVo. It's only when I received the unit that I realized that The Neuros MPEG-4 recorder is not a PVR like TiVo, but a simple digital video recorder that records at a resolution of 352x240 at 25 frames per second, without a TV guide, or programming capability.

Apple Computer Inc. announced upgrades to its line of Power Mac workstations Wednesday. The dual-processor Power Mac line increases processor speed and the base amount of memory that the systems ship with, as well as larger hard drives and faster optical storage.
The Power Mac G5 offers 2.0GHz, 2.3GHz and 2.7GHz dual-processor models with a speed boost at the top of the line. The dual 2.7GHz model features a Apple designed liquid cooling system to counter the speed, resulting in a cool tower that runs Photoshop nearly two times faster than a Pentium 4-based system. Apple has also doubled the size of the standard hard drives that ship with dual-processor Power Macs. The new 2.7GHz and 2.3GHz systems both come configured with 250GB serial ATA hard drives as standard; the 2GHz system comes with a 160GB hard drive.
