A lot of people out there aren’t too happy with Apple right now. Some of them express their displeasure with expletive-filled tirades in the comments section of any pertinent blog post they can find. Other, arguably more creative folks use the popular medium of the day to make the object of their frustration appear foolish and hypocritical in an entertaining manner. To witness just such a protest, head over to the video after the break…
[Thanks, Scott]

They sure do look beautiful flying in formation during their annual migration, but when one of Illinois’s rare Aves Razeruses crashes and burns on a busy Moscow street corner, well, it’s never a pretty sight. Check out another pic of the carnage after the break…

There’s one other notable on that Acer product sheet we peeped earlier: a new iDea media center. The specs go a little something like this: Vista Home Premium, Core 2 Duo T5500, 2GB memory, 500GB 7,200RPM SATA disk, DVD burner, nVidia MXM7600 GO graphics, dual MCE tuners, a wireless keyboard and mouse, 802.11b/g WiFi (shame, no Draft-n), and multi-format card reader all operating at just 23dB. A decent bump for their iDea lineup but nothing to get fussed about.

 Earlier this month, we gave you a glance at Exceptional Innovation’s (producer of Life|Ware) quad-CableCARD media server, and now the outfit is finally making things (extra) official. Two machines will initially be offered up with (count ‘em) four CableCARD tuners within, and neither are likely to run ya cheap. Up first is the flagship LMS-754, which packs a quad-core Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, 4GB of RAM, 4TB of hard drive space in a RAID 5 array, Ethernet, a slew of USB 2.0 ports, audio in / out, and a FireWire connector to boot. The slightly more affordable LMS-654 will probably ratchet things down a bit in the storage and CPU department, and while no specific prices are given, we are told that the Life|Media line now ranges from $3,500 to $15,000. Additionally, the firm introduced 8.9-inch and 12.1-inch widescreen Life|point touch panels with the new Life|slide function, both of which offer up 720p resolution and enable the user to “gesture right or left to quickly navigate the Life|ware gallery.” Click on through for a shot of the front.

 It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard any noise from Tranquil, but apparently, the firm’s T7-HSA server is finally shipping. Notably, these wee machines not only utilize an energy-efficient, fanless design, but it arrives at your door with Windows Home Server under the hood. Granted, you won’t be encoding any movie clips or recording 16 tracks of simultaneous audio with the modest 1.5GHz CPU, but it should handle basic media serving / home automation tasks just fine. Nevertheless, those interested can get their orders in now starting at £338 ($686), and you shouldn’t have to wait long before having it in your hands.

 Regrettably, there’s not a lot to go on just yet, but DigiTimes has it that HP will soon be launching “next-generation PCs with a Blu-ray / HD DVD dual-format burner.” The announcement was reportedly issued at a product presentation held in Singapore, and while no model numbers were doled out, we can purportedly expect the two-faced machines to land in Europe and America sometime next month. Notably, HP has hemmed and hawed between formats in the past, but we’re all for a rig that burns (and reads) both.

Moneual’s distinctly atypical I*magine possesses more than just good looks, as this surefire conversation piece not only enables users to shout commands at it, but you can flip it upright on a pole if you so desire. Thankfully, this thing is actually coming to America for a pretty fair price, so head on over to EngadgetHD for all the dirt (and photographs) you need.

During our chat with Microsoft today, we got wind of a brand new feature coming to Windows Media Center, and it’s slated to hit just as D-Link and Linksys get official with their Media Center Extenders. Reportedly, Microsoft plans on unleashing Internet TV on or around September 27th, which will enable Media Center users to watch a variety of on-demand, ad-supported content free of charge. While details were kept slim, we do know that content will fall into Sports, Entertainment, News, Top Picks, Music and Movies categories. Additionally, the videos will reportedly be “better than SD quality, but not HD,” although HD programs could certainly emerge in the future. Best of all, this feature will simply be delivered as a normal software update, and while it seems that we’ll have to wait until Digital Life before we know any more, feel free to peep the gallery below for a few shots of the Internet TV beta in action.

The only notable machine from Alienware that made the trip to Denver was the Hangar18:HD, and yes, this thing looks just as swank in person as it does in the press shots. Of course, you may have to reinforce your AV cabinet before plopping this hefty machine down, but hey, at least you know its built to last. EngadgetHD has the closeups.

Alienware was just barely at CEDIA, but it did a respectable job with the ridiculously small amount of square footage it was granted. So if you’re craving a look at the firm’s Hangar18 (and the Hangar18:HD), hit up the gallery right over here.
