  1. The 83rd Academy Awards, Who’s In and Who’s Out?

    83rd Academy AwardsThe 83rd Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday February 27, 2011, which means we only have 20 more days to speculate about who will go home with an Oscar, guess who will show up with whom and daydream about the high fashion and wardrobe mishaps always appearing on the red carpet. And now that the Super Bowl is behind us, is anyone planning to host an Oscar party? Are you the designated host because you are the one with a TV lift cabinet?

    The Academy Awards have a long-standing reputation of honoring the “best of the best” in the movie industry in 24 different categories. The ceremony will air on ABC and both James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the show, which is a first for both actors.

    Nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards were released on January 25, 2011, and if you want to know who’s in and who’s out, here’s a rundown of the major categories and their nominees:

    Best Picture

    127 Hours

    Black Swan

    The Fighter

    Inception

    The Kids Are All Right

    The King's Speech

  3. Super Bowl Sunday: It’s the Ad Game That Matters!

    This Sunday, the Green Bay Packers will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dallas, Texas, in the NFL’s Super Bowl XLV. The game will feature the NFL’s top two defensive teams and mark a milestone for the Steelers for the most number of Super Bowl appearances, tying the Dallas Cowboy’s eight appearances in their franchise history. And while most fans will be heading out to their favorite bar, restaurant or over to whichever friend’s house has the biggest flat-screen TV (and fanciest TV lift cabinet), a rather large sub-section of football fans and bystanders will be watching the Super Bowl this year for the ads.

    In fact, many are speculating that this year’s Super Bowl will draw record viewership, surpassing last year’s record 106.5 million viewers. And so the advertisers are planning to bring their own “A game”. The price of advertising has risen over the years, quadrupling in the last twenty years. This jump in cost for a Super Bowl commercial from last year to this year was about 30

  6. Product Focus: University Park TV Lift Cabinet

    University Park TV Lift Cabinet

    Now you see it, now you don’t! With the University Park TV Lift Cabinet, customers have a unique dual-access to their flat-screen television. With the touch of a button, the TV will raise out of the TV lift cabinet on a heavy duty TV lift mechanism. But if you’re in the mood to keep things low, just open the dual cabinet doors and start watching your TV without raising it. This second option is great for a simulated fireplace (which comes as a free DVD with every purchase).

    The University Park TV Lift Cabinet features a hand layered stain finish, brushed nickel hardware and can accommodate a TV as large as 55” and weighing up to 80 pounds. Its center lift not only holds a flat-screen TV, but will also house two media players with depths of 13-1/4” or less.

    The University Park TV Lift Cabinet is perfectly suited against any wall in your home or in the bedroom. It comes standard with a full 1-Year In-Home Warranty and free White Glove Delivery.

  9. Get Ready to Rent in HD from Vudu

    Boxee

    Boxee, a small box or computer program that makes Internet media and movies available for viewing on your television, will be making HD movie-watching a possibility in its next firmware update, say company representatives.

    With either an actual Boxee (pictured above from the back side) device or by installing the Boxee software on a laptop computer and hooking that up to your television, Boxee already gives its customer access to more than 40,000 TV show episodes and movie- and sports-streaming capabilities from partners like the MLB, Netflix, NHL, Pandora and Vudu. It is through Vudu’s services, however, that customers will be able to soon watch HD-enabled movies.

    The firmware update will come out automatically, but customers can also install the update manually by going to (Settings > System > Update). Other Boxee updates in this install include support for language selection in subtitle/audio, enhancements to its Browser performance and the Browser opening in a lower resolution to allow
