Tekzilla seems to be getting better, more newsy bits and the promise of more hands-on reviews... loving it!

Anybody else thing the studio felt 'warmer' today? I'm not a fan of the bricks (eeeew!) but today they were really nicely lit.

Good job TZ Crew, I'm really glad you're taking on our feedback

I agree, Great episode. I like the info on the geotagging cameras, ever since I got my iphone i wanted a real camera that did geotagging.



Also cool Fable 2 impressions Veronica,

I'd love to join your gotomeeting, but the vendor won't make a product that works on my computers operating system.

Where is the Linux version? Let alone *bsd?

A tech show really shouldn't cut out the tech viewers.

Great episode, as usual. I was wondering why you didn't mention the Eye-fi Explore card for Geotagging. I know it doesn't use real GPS but it still seems pretty cool. I just got one but haven't had much time to test it out.

It is a shame that CC finally learned how to treat customers but it was too little too late. The local CC had prices even with the discount that were higher than most other places selling at regular price. Even in dissoution they could not get customers. The place was pretty much empty, but there was lots of stock. Maybe they did not learn a lesson.

Powerline networking is awesome and there is nothing to configure. True plug and play. I bought two units (one connections worth) for twenty five dollars each at Fry's. Great investment not to have to mess with wifi settings and remembering passwords. Most internet is only 10mbit vs near 100mbit for the eop.

I agree with the others, in that this show was more pro than usual.

Photography is certainly getting more technical.

The induction charging does not seem to be very conserving of power. But it is neat none the less. Maybe we can hook up a clothes line with a bunch of transformers near the outside powerlines and get free electricty from induction..

We actually did talk about Eye-Fi, but we took it out of the final show because we disagreed on some technical specs. We'll go back to it on this weeks show!

My big gripe with Circuity S**ty was, at least in my area, they favored online sales and treated the local stores like the proverbial red-headed step children. I almost always do a search to see what is available before I go buy something at the local store and make sure what I want is in stock. If I had a dollar for every time I found a product that would be *perfect* but also was "available online only" or "not available in stores" I could have bought the damned chain and bailed them out. I wanted to make a local and instant purchase. If I wanted to go mail order, I certainly wouldn't be doing it from Circuit City where I'd be charged at least 50 percent more than anywhere else.
