one of the overshot sights for many people with a remote TV and a wireless network.
The Xbox360 is a nice alternative for streaming your media granted you have MCE. But many computers come with MCE nowadays. Personally that feature is not special to me since my PC and Xbox360 will be connected to the same TV but I can appreciate the innovation of being user friendly.

according to nelson this guy is critical and bitter usually lol

This is a problem with clones of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. The clones have all the features on the checklist, but try to use them or even find them! The best Word clones should be either functionally identical to Word—keystroke for keystroke—or totally simplified. But making software easier is harder than simply adding features.

Dvorak knows a lot about computers, and I'm glad he's liking the steps the X360 is taking in user interface and interoperability. That being said, I really don't think he knows a lot about the video game console portion of the X360. Still an interesting read about his thoughts on the interface and everything, though.

Oh, and yes, usually he's very critical about stuff. That is unless whatever it is he's writing/talking about fits with his vision of how things should work in the future.
