If you need an HDMI cable (or three) for your new Blu-ray player, now here’s a deal for you…

1 Sale a Day sells a pack of 3 (yes, that’s three) gold-plated, 6ft, 1080p HDMI v1.3 cables for [drum roll]… $0.00 (that’s correct, ZERO, NADA dollars).

P.S. You will still have to pay the shipping, which is anyway cheaper then buying those cables anywhere else. So hurry, you have less then 6 hours left.

Yugster has done it again! This time you can get PlayOn streaming software for half off the sticker price.

Don’t delay though, the deal is only for one day (2/24/10), so head on to Yugster and push that “I Want One” button now!

PlayOn unlocks the power of your Wii, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3 to watch your favorite movies, shows and videos from Hulu, CBS, Netflix, YouTube, CNN, ESPN and more streamed right to your TV. It’s wireless. And, there is no need to purchase a new device, connect messy cables, or worry about your cable bill. It’s no wonder we were named one of The Top 100 New Innovations of 2009 by Popular Science Magazine.

PlayOn runs on your Windows PC and streams to your gaming console, giving you access to a wide range of Internet content on your TV — Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, Amazon VOD, and many others.

PlayOn is Simple to Set-Up and Easy to Use
To enjoy PlayOn, you need a networked PC, and a Wii, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3. PlayOn also enables you to stream your personal videos, photos and music from your PC to your Home Entertainment Center. It takes less than 3 minutes to set up – and we’ll show you how.

If you’ve been waiting for a good deal to get yourself a Windows Home Server – here it is!

Newegg.com has HP MediaSmart EX485, Windows Home Server w/ Intel Celeron 2.0 Ghz 2GB DDR2 750GB HDD for only $474.99 with promo code EMCLVMV33.

You also get Free and, as usual, Very Fast Shipping from Newegg.com! Now, isn’t this a great deal?

This coupon is a week-end only deal and will expire in 3 days, so hurry up.

This is the best deal I’ve seen on this model so far. Just for the record, original system’s MSRP is $599.

I got mine a few month ago for $499, and it already managed to save us from losing tons of data, when my wife’s 2 year old Gateway laptop suddenly and permanently died. We were able to safely transfer thousands of her emails, documents, photos, etc. from Gateway’s back-up on HP MediaSmart to her new MacBook Pro without much of a hustle. Now HP MediaSmart also serves as a storage for MacBook’s Time Machine.

We also use Windows Home Server to feed our TV with stored DVD movies, and to stream music to our iPhones.

Overall, EX485 is a great system and is a must have for households with multiple computers. Both PCs and Macs are supported.

HP MediaSmart will keep your data safe and organized. It is very easy to use. Give it a try today, and don’t forget to use the promotion code at check-out.

In my iTunes I have a smart playlist called “Never Played Songs”. I usually sync this playlist with iPhone to listen “on the go” or while in the car. At times it (pleasantly or not) surprises me with the kinds of music I have in my collection. And while at home I tend to listen mainly to my favorite albums or Internet radio stations, it’s nice to be able to discover new artists and new music styles on occasion.
