Abstract: It used to cost ridiculous amounts of money to record video from other sources, especially in HD. But these past few years companies like Hauppague, Pinnacle, AVerMedia and others have released affordable boxes that let you capture footage directly to you...
Abstract: I became a "Mac person" in 2010 and, over the past two years, I have learned that as much as I love my Mac and think it's better than a PC, I've had to get used to not being able to do things that PC users can do. Sometimes it can make me feel a littl...
