Episode 82 went Live at 4PM PDT, August 1st.
We pinballed thru a selection o' topics on the show:
Stuff:
- Ageia's PhysX physics accelerator for gaming. Worth the $300, or spend you gaming dollar elsewhere?
- Belkin's Wireless G Travel Router: a palm full o' 802.11g routery goodness (The Linksys WTR54GS Wireless-G Travel Router with SpeedBooster is pretty sweet, too.
- Yes, Adam, the US gets a lot of the cool cell phones well after they've hit the streets in the UK or Japan... and 550 (US $1040) sounds steep to us for a PS3 pre-order.
- And for everybody that's emailing... yup, November 17th is the US release date for the PS3. We forgot.
802.11n:
- "Should I buy a wireless router now or wait for the real 802.11n?" asks Hal from Sioux Falls, SD.
- The
answer depends on whether it's for a business that needs industry
standards, or if it's for use just in your home... and, yes, there is a
performance difference between Pre-n and Draft-n& and both smoke
802.11g.
Questions for the DL.TV Crew:
- No HyperTerminal in
Vista? Mark's looking for a "good open source terminal emulator" to
replace it when connecting to the console ports on routers and
switches.
- Know a good open source/ad-free utility for printing PDF files? email Robert!
News:
- E3 Downsizing: The biggest party in gaming is going small.
- Dell Investigates Second Laptop Fire
- Hi-Def Add-On Coming for iPod: why?
- Animaniacs Vol 1 on DV.... woot!
Iceland:
- Baldwin from Iceland was miffed, but we're cool now He thought we were mocking Iceland's broadband penetration in episode 81.
- No
way. We love Iceland! We were mocking US broadband penetration!(Tho
wiring a country of 300,000 is easier than wiring a country of
300,000,000!)
