CALLED VUDU FOR<br />
A REASON Its special<br />
upconverting sauce<br />
turns files no larger<br />
than iTunes videos into<br />
massively awesomelooking<br />
movies, complete<br />
with Dolby 5.1<br />
surround sound.<br />
PLAYS IT COOL<br />
The engineers who<br />
designed the first TiVo<br />
were behind this box,<br />
and to keep it from overheating,<br />
they modeled<br />
every possible airflow<br />
scenario before the first<br />
piece of metal was cut.<br />
COMPUTING<br />
PEDIGREE<br />
Instead of using a central<br />
server to push out<br />
flicks, Vudu’s programmers<br />
took a lesson from<br />
the minicomputers of<br />
the 1970s: Every box<br />
stores a tiny piece of<br />
each movie on its hard<br />
drive, and sends that<br />
bit out to other users<br />
when called upon.<br />
REMOTE PARADISE<br />
With five buttons and<br />
a scroll wheel, the<br />
super-ergonomic RF<br />
remote takes about<br />
10 seconds to memorize,<br />
20 seconds to master,<br />
and 30 seconds to love.<br />
