Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On , a column about consumer technology. When it comes to time-shifting television viewing, the conversation almost always comes back to premium streaming services — namely, Netflix and Hulu Plus . But consumers routinely shell out more than they do for either of these services — in fact, sometimes more than for both of them combined — simply to have more convenient access to the television from their existing cable or satellite subscriptions

Here at AMD’s Financial Analyst day , the company had a little demo area which is where we spotted this little number — an ODM reference unit from Compal stuffed with the company’s upcoming Trinity APU .

Ready for kick off Monday with some iOS flashing? Excellent, because Apple’s just released the second beta of iOS 5.1 , lovingly christened 9B5127c. No Cupertino devices at Engadget HQ have taken the plunge, but as noted by MacRumors , the beta enables individual picture deletion from Photo Stream — which differs from the existing delete all or nothing implementation
