This is kinda cool...

** Neuros OSD Linux Media Recorder Beta - Get Hacking !! **
Fancy yourself a programmer? Well Neuros is looking for your coding
help to make their new OSD Linux-based media appliance a video-ripping,
YouTube playing, TCP/IP media monster. And what's better, Neuros is
putting their money where your hot little hand is with a series of cash
bounties for coding certain new features into the firmware of the OSD.
Plus, Neuros comes through with a $70 manufacturer rebate and a no-
questions-asked 90-day return policy! Out of the box, the Neuros OSD
functions as a media recorder and player. However, the really special
part about the OSD is its wealth of ports and the completely open
source firmware. You get analog video/audio input and output, ethernet,
USB, infrared, serial, two card slots to accommodate CF and SD/MS/MMC
cards, plus a full-function universal remote.  Please be aware that
ThinkGeek is the exclusive retailer of the OSD and there is a limited
quantity of 200 Neuros OSD Beta units available.
