Way to recover from the meltdown so fast. I'm more than pleased to finally see an attractive women co-hosting dltv. If there's considerations to get Robert a real co-host, Neha would be a great choice!

One more thing, you CAN put the separated tabs back with the others. Don't grab the new window, grab the tab you want to move back.

Nice episode. Don't really like Neha Tiwari because she tries to hard to be funny but all in all I got a lot of info out of this episode.

Keep up the good work guys!

I just opened up Chrome, and i found one thing that is very useful.

If you right-click in the top blue task bar which brings up the basic menu, but with 1 little surprise.

In that menu it has "Task Manager", yes, its a internal task manger that displays how much memory a tab or plugin is using. Its great if an application may be using to much memory or one that could be creating a memory leak.

(this post was written on Chrome)

Please don't let DL.tv become like Revision3, way too commercial.
Be real, and don't use a teleprompter.
I liked Patrick Norton at The Screensavers and DL.tv , but I watch the Revision3 productions less and less.
What I'm trying to say is, leave the Revision3 crew out of DL.tv, before it's all messed up at DL.tv too.
I guess you could say I don't really like Neha Tiwari either.

Thanks for the nice comment theDude. And also, thanks so much for the additional comments on Google Chrome. I think just how it's hard for search engines to beat the Google beast, every browser has that same battle [against Mozilla, and IE]. I think some will really dig it, but I think I will stick with Mozilla. Oh and Frank, we weren't using a teleprompter! But it was my first time being a co-host and live. So maybe I just seemed like a robot, but that's okay...robots are neat ;)

Hi, has anyone else been having problems w/ itunes not downloading the podcast? Sometimes it takes a day or two after it's been posted here before itunes will download it. And I'm not sure this is normal behavior b/c it used to download the same day (if only a few hours after it was posted here, which is acceptable).

Just curious, and I can't comment on the episode yet b/c itunes is still not downloading it :(.

I know she's currently working at Rev3, but would you guys please try to make Neha Tiwari the permanent second host? This was the easiest to watch show I've seen in weeks. The other guys that have guest hosted are obviously knowledgeable, but there always seemed to be a number of "dead ends" in the conversations.
Awkward...

Still, great show. Keep it up!

Well some are complaining about Neha, but I think she did a fantastic job. She is a good co-host. I do agree that I don't want DL.tv to turn into REV3 either.

So glad you guys recovered from the tsunami. :)

Neha was great! Especially in comparison to Robert who makes me feel awkward every time I watch the show.

More Garnett Lee!!! Make him a permanent fixture.

Moving a single tab window back into another window.

All you have to do is on the window with a single tab, just grab the tab and drop it back into the main set of windows. I wish firefox would work like that.

Hey Robert & team,

Good show! You guys are doing a nice job. I've been watching from the beginning, and still very much enjoy the tech savvyness of the show.

Just wondering though... why after all this time, is this show still in low quality 4:3 video? This is an advanced show, and really needs to be kicked up a notch and be in HD 16:9, or at least just 16:9. I feel like you guys are being left further and further behind as all the other tech podcasts move to widescreen and HD versions that look just so damn good on my HDTV... when I load up DL.tv I love the content but it just doesn't look pretty like the other tech shows out there.

Move to HD guys! Please?

Keep up the good work though. :)

Awesome, my first episode that i watched from start to finish. The video & audio quality and production was simply great. I wish an HD version was available but no worries. Neha was good and like others have said, there were a lot of useful information. Iam a huge fan of CrankyGeeks and now DL.TV as well. Thanks for the divx version. Rock on!!

I really like your new co-host, she is soooo hot! More of her, and robert of course.

I'll have to agree with some of the other posts I've seen here. The content has been good from the start, but...the video format is getting to be outdated! Why can't DL.TV be streamed in full wide screen format? Most tech shows I watch now, I can view in full wide screen format (and now even some in full wide screen HD format!). With DL.TV, the video size isn't even 1/4 of my wide screen monitor! Come on DL.TV,get with the program!

Neha Tiwari,

I apologize for this gay Jelle Mees creature.

This episode was hardcore back to the way DL.TV use to be.

Was not like an infomercial or sound-bite.

Great show and I like that you explained the water deal cause at first I thought it was part of the show because of the game they were talking about.

Keep this format DAMN IT JIM !!!!!

Please bring Neha as the permanent co-host. She's perfect for the role.

Very good episode please get Neha back and make her a co-host.

Also, I agree with John who has said about the video format. Please can we get a higher quality widescreen version.

Traditional media outlets need to embrace blogging and the power of the 2.0 web marketing avenues. It really is the long tail of journalism

This control seems like a great tool. The problem I am having is that I cannot get the jpg to render. I followed the instructions from version 1.1 and the postcomment.aspx as well as the DLL from version 1.2. There was no readme
