Pirasee
We don’t know much about how all these electronical contraptions work. Or about finances, or relationships, or current events. But we know what we want.
And what we want is an external hard drive that we can just plug into our TV or our stereo to watch and listen to our videos and music. No endless file conversion, no intermediate devices, no other hassles that are too obscure for us to even imagine – just instant enjoyment of all this intellectual property we spent so much time stealing.
Don’t bore us with incomprehensible explanations of why it’s not possible. Don’t bother suggesting some byzantine “hack”. If we gave a tinker’s damn about that crap, we’d have gone to school for it. Just make it so.
Finally, some company called Mvix has heard our pleas. You’ll have to supply your own hard drive, but once you install it into the Mvix MV-2500U Ultra-Portable Media Center, you’ve got the best of all possible media-piracy worlds: a portable hard drive with multimedia outputs and player software.
Connect it to your PC’s USB 2.0 port and drag-and-drop just about any of today’s most beloved media file types – from MP3 and DivX to JPG and AVI. Then use the composite, component, S-Video, RCA, or coaxial outputs to kick your flickz and/or jamz through your home theater setup. In the quiet moments, you can practically hear the dollars draining out of Hollywood. Great job, Mvix, whoever you are. What the hell took so long?
