Thunderbolt Express Dock preorders being accepted
Belkin has quietly started accepting preorders for its Thunderbolt Express Dock. Originally announced with a September 2012 launch date at last year's CES, the Express Dock has undergone numerous set backs and revisions. The final shipping version will allow customers to expand a single Thunderbolt port into eight different ports, including one FireWire 800, one Gigabit Ethernet, three USB 3.0, one 3.5mm audio-in, one 3.5mm audio out, and one Thunderbolt port. While pre-orders are being accepted online for $300, an official shipping date is still yet to be released.
HBO Go now includes support for AirPlay streaming
HBO's Eric Kessler announced on Tuesday that all HBO subscribers will now be able to stream content from the HBO Go iOS app to any TV via AirPlay. To gain access to AirPlay support, customers must download the latest version of the free HBO Go app from the App Store. The support is limited to devices running iOS 6 and Apple TVs running the v5.1.1 software or later. An official Apple TV app is also in the works, however it is unknown when this will be released.

Excellent!
The addition of a Thunderbolt out port makes the product very worthwhile and the price fair.
