This is what I use: - XBox 360 $149 - Nullriver Connect360 $20 The other option is to connect your MacBook Pro to your HDTV directly. Not streaming; but it's cheaper and chances are if you're watching TV you don't need your laptop anyway.

I'm pretty sure Sprint knew what they were doing when they bought Nextel. At the time: 1) Push-to-talk was iDEN only 2) Nextel was charging $70+/month before that was a normal price for service 3) The US govt was (and still is?) a large cu

I don't have a 2010 but I do have a 2007 17" 2.33GHz C2D MBP and I get 3-4 hours. The only problem is the old 17" batteries tend to warp and explode: http://imgur.com/wmoTy.jpg
