JRiver got a mention a couple of times as a Windows Media Center replacement.

I'm amazed he is still doing this.

I remember his show on "TechTV" TV network.

In one episode, he had a guest with a PC with a special liquid cooling system, and live, the guy overclocked the CPU to - for the first time ever in a PC - drumroll - ONE Ghz.  :o

I remember watching several episodes of Leo's show on the TechTV network.... WAY back.  Leo is an interesting journalist because he knows enough to have really interesting discussions.

He's done numerous series of podcasts; some of which are extremely interesting.  My favorite of the older ones is Security Now with Steven Gibson of Gibson Research.  Steve wrote SpinRite (the drive recovery software) and is a very very smart guy.

His series on encryption technology is very educational.  It's explained in a way that makes it very accessible.  Starting with episode #31 on this page:

Direct link to episode 31 as an MP3.  Start at about 12 minutes in:
