Review: Epson WorkForce 600 Multipurpose All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier

8 Comments / Cameras and Photo, Computers, Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation, Networking & Internet, Recommended, Reviews / By /

Epson recently released their WorkForce line of ink jet printers and we took the flagship all-in-one WorkForce 600 for a test run. We discovered a very full-featured, high performing, affordable printer for home and/or small businesses, with the particularly attractive feature of being wireless.

Setup

Straight out of the box, the Epson WorkForce 600 printer immediately impressed with its sleek, all black design and curvy lines. Its base footprint is approximately 15% wider and longer than a legal sheet (11″ x 14″) which is about as small as they can squeeze it considering that it has an 11×14 flatbed scanner.

Neuros LINK – View online Internet video on your TV

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day, Networking & Internet / By /

Neuros has a new box hitting the general market soon – the Neuros LINK, which lets you get all of that video content that’s sitting on the Internet onto your TV. That means content from sites like YouTube, hulu, NBC, CNN and much more can be streamed over to your TV in HD.

The LINK comes with a ‘keymote’ (looks a bit like the old WebTV keyboards) that you can use to search for content. It even plays music, downloaded movies and displays photos. It is WiFi enabled so you can situate it near your TV without having your network and/or computer near by, but comes with Gigabit Ethernet if you’ve got that accessible, as well as 6 USB ports, S/PDIF audio output, and HDMI out.

LINK will tie in with Neuros’ upcoming Neuros.TV site which will allow you to better organize all of the content you’re interested in from the various sites. LINK is currently available directly from Neuros for $299.

Deep Link to any spot in YouTube videos

1 Comment / Networking & Internet / By /

Like linking or embedding YouTube videos in your blogs or web pages? But sometimes you just can’t find the right video that has the clip you want? So instead you link to the much larger video and tell your readers to skip ahead to a specific time in the vid.

Now there’s a better way. YouTube has just introduced a way to tweak the URL to get straight to the good part. All you need to do is append a time spot to the end of the YouTube URL.

For example, if you want to start a video playing at about the 1:03 mark (1 min, 3 seconds in), then you would simply append “#t=1m3s” to the URL.

Not sure why they’re calling it a ‘widget’, but Sprint has this crazy dense web page that incorporates a ton of Flash, and is constantly polling other data sources on the Web to stay updated.

Why you’re wondering? Just to show off how speedy their mobile broadband cards are.

Here’s a screenshot. Make sure you’re plugged into a decent conn before you hit this link!

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation, Networking & Internet / By /

Mvix has a new NAS box on the market. The MvixBOX WDN-2000 is a 2 drive box that can 2 1TB drives either in a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration (either 1 or 2TB net storage). That’s a lot of storage.

But that’s barely the start of it. The MvixBOX sits on your network and offers up network storage via CIFS, AFP, NFS, & WebDev protocols over a GB NIC. You can drag and drop files to your MvixBOX using your computer, and access it in a myriad of ways.

The MvxiBOX comes with an Apache web server, as well as PHP and MySQL capabilities, so you can run a little home website if you wanted.

Gimme!

Price: $289.99 (without drives)

Create your own CD/DVD paper sleeves with a Web Bookmarklet

Books, Music and Movies, Miscellaneous, Networking & Internet / By /

Here’s another example of very cool apps that the Web has spawned, or is it just a matter of folks adapting to the new media/format? Either way, it’s cool. Oh yeah, it’s a bookmarklet called Liquid Mongoose that converts Web pages into printable paper CD sleeves.

It only works with the Netflix or Music.AOL.com sites to snag music/movie sleeve images, but hey, I’m not complaining.
