Short Bits: Extender Ads, Broswers, Netflix, More

Microsoft has launched their v2 Extender ad campaign on several websites include The New York Times, Gizmodo (I think CNET and so others are in there too).  Assuming you don’t block ads in your web browser, check them out.

Not too much Media Center related in the past few days, but the few things out there seem to be web browser related.  Missing Remote has a post about a new 10-foot browser for Media Center, VMCBrowser as well as a review of MCE Browser.

Ian Dixon continues his adventures from CES from FUZE Media Systems, Surface, and a CES photo gallery.

Netflix is said to be eliminating viewing hours from their streaming feature, so it will be unlimited now.

I did get a Zune last week and have been playing with it since.  I’ll have a review in the future, I want to be able to review it on more than six hours of use.

Gizmodo and Cnet have had the extender ads running for a few weeks already. I remember clicking through on Gizmodo after Christmas...

It's great to see them promoting the Media Center.

I love the fact that they are advertising. Now it would be nice if we could actually get them.
