Say “Hello” and “Goodbye” to Rob H. Seriously, though, he’s back and staying around for a bit. This week we talk about all the movies and TV shows we are looking forward to, and those that we wish someone would make. For more info, check out the Facebook page and weigh in. Rob talks about the new Onkyo TX-NR828 and TX-NR929 receivers and Tom overviews the new Yamaha RX-V1030, RX-V1030, RX-V1030 Aventage receivers (look for his article on Audioholics soon).

Thanks to Art (this week’s xFan), we have an actual topic. Want to know what Tom thinks is important with Blu-ray players for most of you? Skip to the end. Liz wants to talk about ebook DRM and Tor. They don’t have it and haven’t for a while. What has that meant to their business? The Mars scam is still going on. Check out some of the dupes here. Vimeo and Netflix have more original content (or at least original distribution deals) to talk about. Is this the future of streaming? Liz isn’t convinced. A curved OLED screen. Why? Because we CAN!
