    <text>Great XBMC app.  I have had some preformance issues even on a powerful machine, hence the 4 stars.  Not bad at all for a pre-alpha version.  I would expect to see the performance issues mostly resolved in the next update, as well as Netflix support.</text>

      <description>Boxee is a media center application that is being developed by a small startup company. Boxee supports a wide range of multimedia formats and includes features such as playlists, audio visualizations, slideshows, weather forecasts reporting, and an expanding array of third-party plugins. As a media center, Boxee can play most audio and video file formats, as well as display images from many sources, including CD/DVD-ROM drives, USB flash drives, the Internet, and local area network shares.

Through its Python plugin system, Boxee includes features such as YouTube and Apple movie trailer support, SHOUTcast, and Podcast streaming, as well as online picture viewing of such services such as Flickr and Picasa.

Through the processing power of modern PC hardware, Boxee is able to decode high-definition video up to 1080p, however as Boxee does not currently support hardware video decoding it is placing the entire load of the video decoding process on the system's CPU which means that users need by today's standards a very powerful CPU to decode native 1080p videos encoded with the H.264 codec.

Boxee source code is based upon XBMC which it uses as its framework, and the Boxee developers contribute source code back upstream to the XBMC project[12][13]. Boxee is distributed under the GNU General Public License (with a few libraries used by Boxee licensed under the LGPL). Boxee's social networking layer library, libboxee, is however closed source as it deals with proprietary methods of communication with Boxee's online back-end server which handles the user account information and social network communications between the users in the Boxee userbase.</description>

It competes against existing open VoIP protocols such as SIP, IAX, and H.323. The Skype Group, acquired by eBay in October 2005, is headquartered in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn and Prague. </description>

    <text>Works exactly as intended.  No complaints after a week of use.  If it looks like crap, bump up the transcoder resolution.</text>
