DL.TV Episode 20 aired at 1pm PST, this Thursday, December 8th.

Here's the deets:



  • Few video games are innovative enough ( and, frankly, weird enough) that we simply must play them on the show. Animal crossing is definitely one of these games! Jennifer Tsao joined us from Electronic Gaming Monthly to demo the new Nintendo DS title.
  • The pre-release of IE 7 won't be out until 2006, which means internet users may have to wait up to a year for new IE 7 features like tabbed browsing, and one click cache erase. Of course, they could just download Firefox...
  • Speaking of Firefox, version 1.5 has an unpatched vulnerability in the history.dat file that could lead to a nasty denial-of-service attack, and malicious execution of code.

  • Some smart guys at Caltech set a new internet world speed record: they peaked at 150 gigabits per second--that's 130 dvd movies in a minute! BitTorrent users will have to wait for that kinda speed at home, though.

  • The EFF is suing sony...why??? Danny O'Brien, activisim co-ordinator for the EFF, justified the lawsuit over Sony's SunnComm DRM ( no, it's not for the rootkit), and told us how to identify CDs that put stuff on your system.

  • Patrick's SLRs (cameras, that is). In case you missed Tuesday's show, we brought the budget D-SLR cameras back on the set.

  • Viewer Question: What is a good, free RSS aggregator?

  • Answer: There are lots of good RSS readers out there, but if your looking for a free one try SharpReader, or the Yahoo reader that comes with every Yahoo account.

  • And, as always, more viewer questions are answered, fewer are ignored, and we all learn something...
