What's new in Episode 92
HANDS ON
• Little Tiny Portable Machines that can browse the web: Sony's VAIO VGN-UX180P Micro PC, Nokia 770, and the PSP
• OK, Sony's VAIO VGN-UX180P Micro PCis a lot more than a browsing tool... it's like a slightly more usable (and not pocket sized) OQO. Need to edit audio files down? A free utility for that can handle MP3s? No problem, Luke. Check out Audacity. It's free, it works great, and there's versions for Mac OS X and Linux, too!
VIEWER QUESTIONS
• More on why Meatwolf might not want to substitute a pricey PC monitor for his television. (It can work... just be ready to work around the problems and the price!)
• Sholom wants to know if we're going to be at the DigitalLife Event. Yup, we'll be there, but we won't be taping a live show. Want us to have a meetup while we're in NYC? Email us!
• The worst Geek 101 ever: Bits, bytes, and the annoying difference between the Gigabytes your OS uses vs. the Gigabytes used by the folks that build hard drives. BitCalc rules if you hate dividing by 1024!
• Huh... the FAA lets carriers decide whether or not passengers can use GPS devices when the plan is at cruising altitude. Passive devices or no, don't cross the flight attendants if they tell you to shut it off!
NEWS
• More Battery Recalls This time, it's Mastsushita
• Vista Pricing Confirmed Upgrades will cost $100 to $259
• MySpace To Sell Music but only from bands that haven't signed
• Microsoft Experimenting With Automatic Code Zapping: More tools to protect IE...
• Heads up: we've got spam problems in the comments section o' DL.TV, so until the new site launces September 21st, we're going to moderate all comments to keep the spam off the page.
