Credit Cyberlink PowerDVD for the optimized Blu-ray playback performance. This feat has more to do with software than the hardware that is the subject of this article. As noted above... the GPU is just as important to video playback as the CPU. More specs please!
Easy there guys ... it looks like it will come with Blu-ray player software, like every retail Blu-ray disc drive. The ASUS website mentions TrueTheater HD (TTHD), which is Cyberlink's DVD upsampling technology, found only in PowerDVD (the Blu-ray player software).

This is an external Blu-ray ROM drive / DVD Burner combo. It's not a Blu-ray player. On a PC, the "player" is the software, like Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra.

Yes... USB 2.0 can easily handle Blu-ray bitrates.

Still no FiOS in Silicon Valley.
Dear Verizon,
Please please please bring FiOS to Silicon Valley!!! We have a Verizon office right down the street here in Los Gatos... but no FiOS! We have aerial wiring... plenty of techie and wealthy residents who would sign up in droves. Why does Southern California get all the love?
FiOS rocks. I had the service in NJ, before I moved to Silicon Valley. It's not only much faster, but MUCH more reliable Internet access.

I just can't understand why Verizon has ignored Silicon Valley. There are lots of people here who have money, and would kill for a decent connection. C'mon Verizon... bring some FiOS joy to northern california!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
