Im looking for some advice. Im wanting to get a surround sound system for my living room. Heres my setup. I have a modest 32 inch Samsung hdtv with my Xbox 360, PS3 and a Popcorn Hour A110. Now, I like to play my tvrips back on my PCH which usually come with AC3 (or AAC?) surround sound.
But I also play back blu ray rips that come with DTS audio. The popcorn hour can decode dts to stereo, but im unsure about which surround sound system id need if it needs to decode the dts audio. Any guidance on what I should get? I dont have a lot of money for it, but just needing some pointers....

Using Chrome OS now insider a virtualbox. Text is a little slow to react. Would of used it via USB but my network adapter wasnt recognised. Who else has tried it?
A council has given the green light to a multi-million pound data centre plan for the south of Scotland. Lockerbie Data Centres (LDC) wants to build the development at Peelhouses Farm in Dumfries and Galloway, claiming it could create thousands of jobs.

I still attend University and you hear about so many guys on the course who have lost their jobs as a result of loss of work, but our company is booming with business. Currently building 550 houses in Dumfries and Stranraer as well. We might have to employ soon!

Well, id imagine so! We dont have IT guys here in our work. We use one guy who seems to work for a few other companies. Send a CV and you could always try! :)

Attention. Do you have an old mac you dont want? Ill take it off your hands totally free of charge. We all know how much of a pain in the ass it is when you have more than 1 computer, so why not give your spare one to me? Sounds good doesnt it? Go on, give me a mac! Donate a mac to me! Giraffes! Go on, do it!
Yes Jan. Im running a mac recycling center. But i only want working macs. In fact, if you want to donate one to me, that would be appreciated! :)

Interesting idea but I will have to decline categorically. My impressive Mac collection will stay with me as I'll find a use for each and everyone of them ;)

No problem Jan. Thanks for showing interest in the "Recycle your mac by giving it to a Scotsman" charity! :)

So, last night @lonelycoo had an idea to share a @spotify playlist with me. With the desktop version, this is possible, but now that Spotify came out for my Nokia 5800, ive now got it on my phone. So, while i drove home from Stranraer to Glasgow, Simon decided my playlist for the drive home.
So, He added a few songs every few minutes and for the first 5-6 miles of my journey, the first few songs synced to my phone and played no problem, but once i got up into the hills of the south west coast of Scotland, the 3G connection got lost. I rejoined the songs around Ayr where the 3G signal came back in and the other 8 songs synced to my phone. If i was in a constant 3G area, this could be a fun feature thanks the genius thinking of Simon. Would you like someone to choose a playlist for you while you were out and about? Imagine its like a radio dj, but he doesnt talk to you and no adverts. Just total random music. What did i get? Simon thought i should listen to a pan pipe version of chasing cars (snowpatrol) and also about how he was now on a boat, a muthaf*cking boat. I enjoyed it! :)
