Rather than re-invent yet another home theater experience, Seagate has built on the Free Agent GO portable hard drive product to develop a simple home media solution that almost anyone can understand and implement. To create a slide show, simply copy the images and audio into a directory on the drive.
Stuck in a hotel room in Toledo, Ohio? Are programs piling up on your
DVR because you have no time for TV? Did you forget to record a
special television event before leaving home? Want to watch the local
news from back home?
So you think everybody you know has either cable or satellite? Ask your mother, or ask a college student -- they'll tell you that a surprising number of people aren't plugged into the cable channels, and with the 20-something crowd downloading their entertainment over the internet, cable TV just isn't a priority.

UPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics. Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon.

Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California. Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967. The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort. This summer retreat will host technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies. There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete. For more info, send email to ronald@usa.net, or call 707-995-2683.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:
Hot News on Cool New Features: The ENTIRE front of the home is made of 21 sliding NanaWall glass panels that fold into the walls, opening the entire home up to the lake during demo days.
