Diamond UI Mod & Theme for SageTV Arrives

One of the more exciting 3rd party SageTV projects under development this past year is the SageTV Diamond Project.  Diamond, just released version 3.0 - a completely new User Interface and theme collection for SageTV7 created by three of the many talented developers (forum names: PluckyHD, Jorton, EvilPenguin & Jusjoken) working on SageTV projects right now.

Diamond is a project that modifies the SageTV 7 UI, adds some significant layout, look & feel changes, and functionality.  Based on the screenshots it should be a very popular addition to the many add-ons for SageTV.  I’m sharing the screenshots today and will have a demo video for you tomorrow.

Speaking of SageTV news, There should be more fun stuff coming in the very near future.  Stay tuned!

Touchscreen In Our Future

The iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and many Android, Microsoft Surface & other touchscreen devices have shown us how touchscreen can be useful in our daily lives.  I imagine we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far.  Corning, a company with a lot of focus on glass technologies like Gorilla glass used in the iPhone 4 published this five-minute promo video that shows their vision for the future which obviously includes a lot of glass and quite a lot of touchscreen as well.  Much of this technology will show up in our homes as the video demonstrates

Pretty cool stuff although we really aren’t too far away from much of that vision are we?
