	Akimbo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Akimbo is "a human body position in which the hands are on the hips and the elbows are bowed outward", or "bent"/"bowed" in a more general sense (e.g.
		The forms akembo and akimbo are found in the 18th century, with akimbo gradually becoming the standard.
		Until recent times (the 1980s or thereabouts), the term was almost exclusively arms akimbo, with little involvement of the legs; it seems that it was first creatively used to describe sitting cross-legged.

	Akimbo Thrasher Magazine - Find Articles
		Akimbo is a self proclaimed "Seattle Band" that plays "a classically old-heavy, with punk rock sensibility." Akimbo are three dudes and one tight bro, who would gladly give up the warmth and comfort of their beds and jobs to tour the US in their van The Crusher.
		Akimbo says they are a band without a schtick, which isn't entirely true, as they deliver the most exciting, uncomfortable and dangerous rock show you've seen since your first Melvins concert.
		Akimbo cares so much about your emotional and physical well being, they are going to give you hard rock so great you won't even notice when the sun finally comes out in June.

	Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero for PC Review - PC Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Akimbo is represented by a fairly well-animated prerendered sprite, as are some of the enemies Akimbo finds, such as goggle-eyed clams, goggle-eyed spiders, and goggle-eyed mosquitoes.
		Akimbo's other sound effects are apparently intended to be "cute." In addition to running, Akimbo himself can jump and perform a few martial-arts attacks to fight his enemies.
		It's possible that Akimbo's bright colors and cute characters might prove to be enough of a distraction for very, very, very young players who don't know enough about games to expect responsive controls, decent level design, or good gameplay, especially if they don't mind dying and restarting repeatedly.

	themusicedge.com :: Akimbo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Enter Seattle's Akimbo whose Forging Steel and Laying Stone is an album that seems to be created with the sole purpose of tearing down many of the walls erected by shameless commercialism.
		What makes Akimbo stand out is the fact that occasionally an air of post-hardcore intelligence sips through the guitar chords of Patrick Cunningham and Jared Burke Eglington and makes titles like “Spooning With Disaster,” “Rickshaw” and “Tower of the Elephant,” the latter with its nod to classic rock, totally distinctive, albeit not all that original.
		Akimbo’s melodies are made for shaking and occasionally head-banging in the middle of a serene night, and there is a big difference between these activities and the initial ‘let’s beat those weaklings’ attitudes of their former NY and Boston HC scenes.

	Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - Akimbo and the Elephants
		Akimbo is eager to help whenever he can--even if it means getting into some pretty dangerous situations involving elephant poachers or caring for a lion cub in these titles.
		The poachers are rounded up, Akimbo has done a brave deed, and at least one herd of elephants has been spared.
		In Akimbo and the Elephants, ivory poachers are killing grown elephants for their tusks and leaving the calves to die.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		Akimbo, which means 'with hand on hip and elbow bent outward', first appeared around 1400 in The Tale of Beryn: "The hoost...set his hond in kenebowe.
		Other suggestions trace akimbo to Middle English cambok, 'a curved stick or staff' (from Medieval Latin cambuca) or to a cam bow, 'in a crooked bow'.
		The Middle English Dictionary proposes (with a question mark) that akimbo might be related to Old French chane or kane 'pot or jug,' combined with Middle English boue, 'bow'.

	Home Theater: Akimbo Systems Video On Demand Player
		Akimbo has entered the video on demand fray with a unique service, the first to deliver video content via the Internet to a set-top box, versus the more traditional cable/satellite VOD solutions.
		As a result, Akimbo is putting much time and money into providing a wide variety of content, positioning themselves first and foremost as a service provider.
		I connected the Akimbo player, the AP1200, to a power source, my audio/video gear, and my local area network via a Cat-5 cable, and the unit recognized the hookup and completed the rest of the configuration automatically.

		The reasonably priced Akimbo service is still in its infancy, and though it does not offer HDTV support and certainly won't take the place of your regular TV, it has decent image quality and could be a nice addition if you want special-interest programming.
		Using Akimbo is not quite the same as time-shifting with a TiVo.
		Also, Akimbo is using Windows Media Video format, which minimizes the size of the files involved without sacrificing image quality.

		So when you connect Akimbo's set-top box to both a TV and to your home network (wirelessly or through an Ethernet cable), the service fetches video off the Internet and sends it to the TV.

		The Akimbo is designed to deliver content for those with very esoteric tastes, and those who would prefer to get their content on the couch instead of in front of their PC.
		The Akimbo lets you fast-forward or rewind through movies, but suffers from a freeze-frame problem, where the last frame of a movie will stay onscreen after you have scanned forward or back through a movie.
		Akimbo seems to define premium content as anything that is not freely available on the Web, such as the iFilm video shorts and movie trailers.

		Akimbo began life as a set-top box, offering IPTV programming via a broadband Internet connection.
		Akimbo makes a lot more sense as a PC-based IPTV service than as a set-top box, but the HD selection is still pitifully small, and many of the mainstream (read: free) shows are similar, if not the same as, those found on basic cable channels.
		Akimbo is currently offering this season's MLB subscription free for Akimbo customers, but the official price tag is $3.99 per month off-season and $5.99 per month in-season.

	Akimbo review - Engadget (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The idea is to think of Akimbo as an inexpensive and convenient supplement to what’s already out there, and they’re targeting niches that traditionally aren’t very well served by regular cable and satellite services in hopes that enough people will find something they think is worth paying ten bucks a month to download.
		Akimbo already offers a mix of name brand programming with a bunch of stuff we’ve never heard of, with video podcasting (or whatever you want to call it) just getting off the ground it’d be relatively easy to let pretty much anyone offer their programming through Akimbo.
		Akimbo users get access to my.akimbo.com to explore the library and remotely trigger downloads to their box, and it's a top priority to expose that same library to anyone who wants to see it.
