Paul Wallich (2002). Digital Hubbub.
IEEE Spectrum, vol., no., pp.26-31. http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/publicfeature/jul02/hvid.html

Abstract
It's a set-top! It's a home server! It's a digital hub! Whatever you call it—a souped-up cable box or a hard-disk recorder with wings—companies know that whoever gets it right will rule the entertainment gateway to the home. More than a half-dozen companies so far are scrambling for the billions of dollars they hope to reap by offering consumers a single machine to handle their home entertainment needs. The companies agree on what the machine should do: record, archive, and play back video and music, organize digital photo albums, and distribute digital media around the home. Where they disagree is on what shape that machine should take.
