" Plus there's little things like proprietary headset connection and the user interface though it's nearly identical -- less sophisticated. But look they just get back in the studio -- you Michelle so I'd better get going."

" Say you made it back yes I like it GPS is really handy. Did that I loved Helio service and I really like the service plans yet to really really basic yet I everything's included -- is -- that -- you want 565. Box. Unlimited for 120."

" See that. That is enough to make me want to switch yet it really does is at. Like of course the pearl and I am asking your it service and the data plan that they that's very confusing on the media bundles. And additions and night you get charged more sometimes we use. Over it's just it becomes it -- very frustrating so. For this reason I love -- here I'm actually -- wait until a device comes out that is more sophisticated look and then. Because this is actually still a little too it's skews a little too young and not yet. You know."

" It is using sprint PCS network so it's not like you get global cut that nation like pop up to expect from like a big company yes -- did that did. Packages are so we pay all the data is included -- like that might service you have to actually do a picture messaging you have to have that option. Now that video that is all really really like it. But the service it's -- right. A the next couple things we've talked about. That or the incision -- and it goes to grace from New York congratulations grade -- like the red one. So -- gone okay. And the other thing I want talk about quickly is it I was reviewing the last show and I didn't get here streaming box vigilant and I kind of I know partly distinction clear to me and then the wet had it and basically you have to have a windows PC running. If you want access online features to your keys he is now offer Nat yes so. Just clarification you can buy images of -- Mac and anything to satellite you need need to PC windows. There you can't get away from when -- people yeah. Okay so we should go to show us next for you Mac users here's that we get windows on it."

" Wow wild world."

" Volume Mac users out there who haven't completely given up on windows yet. Here's awaited maple outpouring systems -- It's called virtualization. Or basically create -- VPC right -- Mac. By the way use Intel based Mac and the war. Parallels desktop is you regional virtualization application for Intel Macs and is now in version three point oh. It supports the right operating systems other than windows equally flavors of -- always do. It doesn't however supports 64 bit versions of XP or Vista out and soaring well there's no you good to either. In my windows XP world there's some nice features like."

" Including the ability play some games. Enabling treaty has to be -- kind of find -- setting why it's just gone all the time. Features like hold hearings make it seem like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are actually friends it's kind of -- see the windows task -- world. Files are easily dragged between environments smart select what you associate possible operating system. Teachers have double click it to open it without having think about what application itself where. Visually seals tactical sterile when you first launch and configure parallels. Rage here host only networking. What you're up and running its very fluid. Like going to -- screen. Using all of MacBook capabilities that windows environment will make you -- had until while it's a real pain in the Athens had up. But what -- get -- of zoos are suspended they believe me the fat of those that. VMware fusion is that you can them up locking that for some tough competition the parallels. It supports a list of sixty or so west is including 64 bit like this. Set it as simple as is the configuration compared parallels. If your boot camp users will recognize that partitioned and windows installation. Basically bridging these two world without having to -- Boot camp if you're not give -- a live with it is it Apple application that lets you run windows immediately. On an Intel based Mac it's not virtualization. What you have to reboot go between the OS's. Like parallels you can drag and drop files between west -- triple there's as network drives. With big difference. You did you run windows applications like the ruby for -- if you seamless. Fusion also supports 3-D but it's quite limited and not it's who has parallels yet. And with harbor like I think they've -- it's the same complicated download from camp that he threw the files on mr. driver while while plot to get everything the world fusion is slow resuming from suspended a lot slower than parallel. But -- it up and running it performs quite well how well that I turn fifty next great way it's an intensive -- Overwhelmingly fusion man processor intensive applications faster. That's because the virtual like two -- there's no one. Ultimately boot camp is the -- but then you're not running both west -- that the same time. People caught eighty dollars plus the cost of the operating system. Personally I prefer VMware fusion just because the unity application and how seamlessly the windows applications appear in the Mac O laugh. But really when it comes to picking up virtualization top where it depends on what you're doing with your virtual PC."

" So when I want Mac. I went all. You'd see you you don't -- me when I understand it. Why people would and it -- me personal individual I would never. Use parallels or something that's. I actually need windows because it's on the stoplight on. And the 80 Barry you're you're buying you know your high up and -- EU let me go to and waves his -- platform you know that that's totally use it it's yes you did this this in my users."

" Yes I can understand for people who are just switching. To the Mac platform in the great own software Hillary on the phone shops in south and they don't want to buy anything to it is expensive."

" It really is even now I would pay. Yes for the industry software yet it's faster anyway that's you are battling yeah oh."

" You know another's efforts at the I'd see the point at the same time you know if you if you -- and 2000 dollars fifty and about the on this computer -- and not have to deal with it at eighty dollar piece of software at. But yeah I use it all the time actually mostly because in and explore. Funny enough because he and it's warm spots some idea -- you Dotty uses some sites requires and you just can't access it that's coming from Matt yeah I know you -- others got a whole other issue though yeah."

" Are great guys and now I took a look at a product that allows you to listen to music all your home without why."

" Wow wow world."

" This looks like another one -- iPod speaker -- but wait there's -- it's a wireless audio system. To some funny you're at work wireless I think. Firmware upgrade and long link these setup process season even met crackles and Emanuel but with the yes all it takes it's like your face east. If -- speakers you dock your iPod. -- Even though there is a link button once the wireless speakers are plugged in the heels of automatically detect and the first four speakers. The additional wireless speakers cluster 150 bucks each -- speakers have built in two point one stereo to twitters and -- There's one of volume control dial and AC adapter for -- The wireless range 150 feet indoors and 300 feet outdoors and there's a range EX button to boost the wireless signal if there's an affair. I have to say is sound quality is in press it and set up. Works that. The key he uses gave away a proprietary technology that transmit audio. Three front interference you get CD quality at one point five -- transmission. The base station charges iPod when docked. There's the usual volume and -- controls and a source but the switch from iPods ads Hillary. And the is is pricey coming in at 300 bucks class 150 extra bucks for each additional speaker. However if you want a -- your house music without Hawaii's he'd want to hassle with the set up. The is delivers."

" I can see lots of uses for this system especially true if you barbecues flop house parties right."

" But for dvd I'm not convinced I'm totally convinced I totally disagree via this."

" I'm actually I'm gonna be hot on the heels of this product especially when -- Because I am a huge. I I had this idea I love listening music everywhere I am in right now it's an admission that all the geeks are to scan it at. I'm not gonna be held up high -- eyes because I literally carry little light. Battery powered read you don't let around my house spending my dishes like I'll turn it on or -- you know in my bathroom and I want to listen to music I'll turn it on. Like I'm we old school like you know and so having Wendy's I can envision. Myself. You know -- carrying just speaker and plugging in my kitchen -- From my platelets. Like."

" I mean that's -- question for you and I'm reading it handled this in the past it's been like lets you using your iPhone. This I could get streaming media. No not right now not yet not yet that the network that this service is all need to know is when it gets streaming radio."

" If we can do it doesn't network they're using is in the -- they -- one day they well and then -- yeah his friends."

" Then when you create any radius and I want IC yeah and I think of it from Martin like."

" Might this that have friends who wired there they wired house from thousands of dollars terrible walls and a great night. Great site -- for people but the entertain a lot more yet but for me like I do with basically why do I -- my behind in might and between -- and I'd move my."

" Here's are my laptop -- the cabinet. --"

" Yeah that's true not -- a -- my computers because -- physically move everything. If I wanna listen to that right because I actually don't have. Like an in between there anything like that in my living room or I just have like black and headphones and walked -- the -- outlet so it. I see the point by the same time like it is it worth the I'm -- yes I'm torn on it I I. See you more for it people who want to wire the whole house."

" So I am a bad idea that's gonna be set to cost effective kickass way to do it or not -- through walls and so angry audio I'd love that idea I think -- totally -- Next I get into the -- heat or not or HDDVD -- anyway."

" Wow wild world."

" Some pictures has just officially jumped from Blu-ray Dee Dee Dee Dee -- still if you were right not HD dvd and I wanna hold up there. Disease format -- firewire. And -- an HD dvd -- that she eats eat. This is Toshiba's second generation entry level HD dvd. It laser standard dvds and dvd -- and supports high Def audio like Adobe -- It connects to your television through HDMI port component there's also composite -- video though they don't handle HD which makes me wonder. Like there's also an ethernet port for online firmware update. We use of burn -- with an update because the bug in the original firmware wouldn't let it connect online and that isn't particularly consumer friendly. There are also USB ports that don't do anything for now Toshiba says it has plans for them in the future so check -- popcorn in hand. -- and iniki. And you're gonna have to wait to taste the later in thirty seconds power pop and movie thirty seconds hello. So when it comes to climb the HDH who does not do 1080. It does upscale regular dvds and the act."

" The remote control buttons feel sluggish and are way too many buttons tightly packed together. But it's practical and functional for navigating HD dvd special features. The most important part watching HD dvds. Movies like the matrix and Batman begins are stunning visual details like the sky or the city's case they look really dead and the apartment I really -- equality is shadows black a solid black. Not that greeting get with the regular dvds on HDTV. So let me bring down the person that's gonna benefit from the Toshiba HDT news person that day just doesn't a lot of money and -- because XKPTV. -- do nothing or."

" This format war thing I hear that when they hit four to one brand sales it's over what about it -- that -- so that for every four one format is one of the other format movies on the -- it's over a and right now blu -- that we want to blu ray's winning it once though. I thought it was pretty much done."

" Done I was real quick war yeah I take along gonna play out thoughtful and this change of events with Paramount kind of align themselves HD. Dvd it is an extent that. Ward just a little bit that even -- it's estrangement and do I think it I don't recently that tactically speaking I'm like how it. One studio's. Pictures points made an entire format. I don't know I think."

" A lot of people here on the fence about buying them like -- specific movie you're not gonna go dropped 400 dollars or three in a box on player. To play it because why would you why would you spend the money on it I think there."

" The other great. And observation about this whole thing is is that players like McCain's. Gains and yet it's mainly blue. Yeah and so again if you're gonna."

" Well I am yeah hair what they -- yet the PS3 has -- four million. Yeah systems out there that plays Blu-ray right I would give it to Sony is 88. You know and everyone else is like you know in that when we get back in -- eleven was like -- I don't want that format the pink -- apply one have a choice but no whites only system on the table and they do all the cards -- better there all with -- baby it'd be unzipped -- fly just slap on the -- that -- the only -- here at quite a bit."

" Give it the same sort that they and so."

" So big."

" They they took a huge risk and away and and they're they're winning as a result and this only has taken a lot of risks that haven't paid off right. But this one -- appears to be in going in that direction but we'll we'll see if one studio and really shift. The vote I think the big thing is a packet there's nobody really making each dvd players to see that it is and they want it to other ones but Blu-ray hasn't held their own systems plus pioneer and all these."

" I can't even though both formats -- the system was was just fine I still wouldn't buy it because it could be obsolete. Yeah quickly because everybody is pretty to the knowledge like."

" I think that you would game consoles I think it's worth the risk because you buy it and if it your eyes yeah you think would be gaming you'll play regular dvds -- do these other things when you go dedicated. You're like what happens -- player dvds you know he's still can't -- it in the -- out because there's no movies to watch on it right but the website dot since I don't -- the HED and Blu-ray I think I'm just kind of waiting for the bargain basement and you know Floridians grabbed all the -- movies when one -- Huge collection positive on an. Up next how much you spend on long distance or how about getting unlimited calls for one time setup to take a look."

" Wow world world."

" No it's not an answering machine well it's kind of that too but it's so much more. If -- and it might be the ultimate in voice over IP or reveal -- why because there's no what he'd be to call anyways I'd be ever."

" There is however a one time canopy. For this it's called the hard."

" It's got lots of cool features voice mail is easily accessible just hit play when the light is blinking at the tracks -- racist it's so easy use. There's caller ID call return features to just like a regular phone."

" Plus there's an instant second line but with one number much like call waiting."

" Switching between calls is as simple as tapping the one or two or using the flash button on your telephone."

" But unlike basic call waiting to people who make calls at the same time."

" You do need any additional piece of hardware called a scout to connect to other phones in the house but it's a reasonable forty dollar option."

" Plus you get the answering machine like can be -- it."

" You would know it it was actually here network so other people's calls are routed to hop. Personally that it knows it and it -- but it doesn't go -- completely until September night. It does manageable -- usage -- sure there's enough reserved for any calls. Installation it's as simple -- in -- phone. With Mike brought bad it talks between might well them and blogger. For those combined -- and about persistent. Right after the routers. A red light on it and what's happening there's a problem hit -- to -- diagnostic like -- solid blue is good. The one thing to consider it standard landline. To access and I want what services or phone service when the power you can integrate -- regular service with Uma. That would OK you got your landline altogether get rid that monthly V. -- cover the popular -- under two years. From local calls. For anyone that uses a -- different well it will cover your costs a lot faster. For international calls who uses a prepaid system that you buy online. The rates are very competitive compared to Skype and -- natural -- you to prepaid system that you buy it online. The rates are very competitive patterns Skype and bought it. Bought it includes candidate with their service and the kingdom with their unlimited plan. But of course there's that monthly fee guide charges three point nights -- connection -- all these national calls. The bottom line -- would watch Hulu that initially dot. -- Pocket calculator simple phone bills and do a comparison I think -- papers are in no time. Domestic long distance callers I'm not so very -- work you see you -- even you land line."

" So it's very interesting they're using your appeared just likes it that content similar except that you -- that a boxing you don't need the computer use a regular phone. Which is huge Skype is limited as yet and I -- Scott policy if you want to call landmines have to pay it this way Yonhap news it's unlimited."

" Not of the -- pain one flat need to use it. For our I think it's great that's really the only thing is is that like don't make calls from man. And her yeah I know anything in the port worked my grandmother's. Have cell phones and they prefer to call them on the cell phone. Yet there -- idiots there -- eighty's wow that's a that's what I'm saying it that I it's it's not what here's what I'm okay. I think at night what do I get that box -- route. The calls through -- so I mean it's and -- you fat they do."

" I don't know who know that number anyway if you know. Is I got a good reason I have a landline I had on page which is awful lot without. Sounds terrible but the only reason I have is open the front gate -- FedEx -- and you yes. As it only time that no one even get a landline -- of different -- yet because I don't actually when it rings that you know. It's it's the on board I'm even say hello I just hit nine and let the person right so I can't let the lot of criminals including Canada I --"

" White people have land lines is in case of emergency yes but I feel and understand technology."

" Well well that his name -- it service because he'd brought and you lose power if it so do neatly yet much yet from the phone company you can't. Really access like night timeline at the power goes out and that now the phone will not work right so what album is so I am exactly."

" way out to everybody happy land like it's a connection with the phone company is for idiots out yet. In now."

" And you can't really well I guess some companies -- offering naked yes I would write a data phones it's -- but you pay extra for that it's like -- I don't know I don't know I I love it clocked up four. I if you make a lot a lot of long distance calls and you'd like -- is that the least I want to opt. It's an office if you think -- yet -- bucks a month on long distance great for businesses not necessary for personal yeah they -- depends on what what kind of user you are and that from my phone I like to use your cell -- for everything like I -- myself for everything. So I won't really work for me if you do that there there's got people out there that. Masses small businesses especially small and that's where I think I'm I'm thinking that person that talks across you know to somebody across country like -- six hours that I. Yeah."

" I think some people -- question for you switching gears -- where are we out of your submissions time."

" I have to I have to respond I respond to a few emails I'm happy about that. I have a few emails -- that's we have one -- in person who's actually inspired by S and lots in nineteen urged congress though but it but I he can I think he's pretty I -- get parents permission I. -- in our show and there's a few people that you know I haven't responded to the."

" Well -- here's -- deal with mission they're comin' in it's just we're kind of there. It's my -- we have won this but we will inexorably in that it. We will we will have -- and that is that people call me get this ship I mean this that we would and I can happen and there aren't. Hello. And it of the camera will take the entire corporate Nat. Yeah yeah and an effort for everybody wants you. Do a your submission you're an email that you. I bought it in digital online dot com and climbed promises he now. Yet thank you -- you see that. And it really done a very good."

" And since this is doing it until this amazing."

" Athletic. It's and then I want to thank -- yes -- Yes and that is it for us thanks for watching things for downloading and we will see you next. This episode of in digital has brought you by Netflix get them delivered right to your front door and no more late fees senate but www. Netflix.com. Slash in digital and it two weeks for."

" Personally I'm a -- in person but whom without so much better. And I had no idea what I'm gonna say if your -- okay. It hits the negativity he opened. Personally -- It."

" Next -- into the H dean and."

Teachers have double click it to open it without having think about what application itself where. Visually seals tactical sterile when you first launch and configure parallels. Rage here host only networking. What you're up and running its very fluid. Like going to -- screen. Using all of MacBook capabilities that windows environment will make you -- had until while it's a real pain in the Athens had up. But what -- get -- of zoos are suspended they believe me the fat of those that. VMware fusion is that you can them up locking that for some tough competition the parallels. It supports a list of sixty or so west is including 64 bit like this. Set it as simple as is the configuration compared parallels. If your boot camp users will recognize that partitioned and windows installation. Basically bridging these two world without having to -- Boot camp if you're not give -- a live with it is it Apple application that lets you run windows immediately. On an Intel based Mac it's not virtualization. What you have to reboot go between the OS's. Like parallels you can drag and drop files between west -- triple there's as network drives. With big difference. You did you run windows applications like the ruby for -- if you seamless. Fusion also supports 3-D but it's quite limited and not it's who has parallels yet. And with harbor like I think they've -- it's the same complicated download from camp that he threw the files on mr. driver while while plot to get everything the world fusion is slow resuming from suspended a lot slower than parallel. But -- it up and running it performs quite well how well that I turn fifty next great way it's an intensive -- Overwhelmingly fusion man processor intensive applications faster. That's because the virtual like two -- there's no one. Ultimately boot camp is the -- but then you're not running both west -- that the same time. People caught eighty dollars plus the cost of the operating system. Personally I prefer VMware fusion just because the unity application and how seamlessly the windows applications appear in the Mac O laugh. But really when it comes to picking up virtualization top where it depends on what you're doing with your virtual PC."

" So when I want Mac. I went all. You'd see you you don't -- me when I understand it. Why people would and it -- me personal individual I would never. Use parallels or something that's. I actually need windows because it's on the stoplight on. And the 80 Barry you're you're buying you know your high up and -- EU let me go to and waves his -- platform you know that that's totally use it it's yes you did this this in my users."

" Yes I can understand for people who are just switching. To the Mac platform in the great own software Hillary on the phone shops in south and they don't want to buy anything to it is expensive."

" It really is even now I would pay. Yes for the industry software yet it's faster anyway that's you are battling yeah oh."

" You know another's efforts at the I'd see the point at the same time you know if you if you -- and 2000 dollars fifty and about the on this computer -- and not have to deal with it at eighty dollar piece of software at. But yeah I use it all the time actually mostly because in and explore. Funny enough because he and it's warm spots some idea -- you Dotty uses some sites requires and you just can't access it that's coming from Matt yeah I know you -- others got a whole other issue though yeah."

" Are great guys and now I took a look at a product that allows you to listen to music all your home without why."

" Wow wow world."

" This looks like another one -- iPod speaker -- but wait there's -- it's a wireless audio system. To some funny you're at work wireless I think. Firmware upgrade and long link these setup process season even met crackles and Emanuel but with the yes all it takes it's like your face east. If -- speakers you dock your iPod. -- Even though there is a link button once the wireless speakers are plugged in the heels of automatically detect and the first four speakers. The additional wireless speakers cluster 150 bucks each -- speakers have built in two point one stereo to twitters and -- There's one of volume control dial and AC adapter for -- The wireless range 150 feet indoors and 300 feet outdoors and there's a range EX button to boost the wireless signal if there's an affair. I have to say is sound quality is in press it and set up. Works that. The key he uses gave away a proprietary technology that transmit audio. Three front interference you get CD quality at one point five -- transmission. The base station charges iPod when docked. There's the usual volume and -- controls and a source but the switch from iPods ads Hillary. And the is is pricey coming in at 300 bucks class 150 extra bucks for each additional speaker. However if you want a -- your house music without Hawaii's he'd want to hassle with the set up. The is delivers."

" I can see lots of uses for this system especially true if you barbecues flop house parties right."

" But for dvd I'm not convinced I'm totally convinced I totally disagree via this."

" I'm actually I'm gonna be hot on the heels of this product especially when -- Because I am a huge. I I had this idea I love listening music everywhere I am in right now it's an admission that all the geeks are to scan it at. I'm not gonna be held up high -- eyes because I literally carry little light. Battery powered read you don't let around my house spending my dishes like I'll turn it on or -- you know in my bathroom and I want to listen to music I'll turn it on. Like I'm we old school like you know and so having Wendy's I can envision. Myself. You know -- carrying just speaker and plugging in my kitchen -- From my platelets. Like."

" I mean that's -- question for you and I'm reading it handled this in the past it's been like lets you using your iPhone. This I could get streaming media. No not right now not yet not yet that the network that this service is all need to know is when it gets streaming radio."

" If we can do it doesn't network they're using is in the -- they -- one day they well and then -- yeah his friends."

" Then when you create any radius and I want IC yeah and I think of it from Martin like."

" Might this that have friends who wired there they wired house from thousands of dollars terrible walls and a great night. Great site -- for people but the entertain a lot more yet but for me like I do with basically why do I -- my behind in might and between -- and I'd move my."

" Here's are my laptop -- the cabinet. --"

" Yeah that's true not -- a -- my computers because -- physically move everything. If I wanna listen to that right because I actually don't have. Like an in between there anything like that in my living room or I just have like black and headphones and walked -- the -- outlet so it. I see the point by the same time like it is it worth the I'm -- yes I'm torn on it I I. See you more for it people who want to wire the whole house."

" So I am a bad idea that's gonna be set to cost effective kickass way to do it or not -- through walls and so angry audio I'd love that idea I think -- totally -- Next I get into the -- heat or not or HDDVD -- anyway."

" Wow wild world."

" Some pictures has just officially jumped from Blu-ray Dee Dee Dee Dee -- still if you were right not HD dvd and I wanna hold up there. Disease format -- firewire. And -- an HD dvd -- that she eats eat. This is Toshiba's second generation entry level HD dvd. It laser standard dvds and dvd -- and supports high Def audio like Adobe -- It connects to your television through HDMI port component there's also composite -- video though they don't handle HD which makes me wonder. Like there's also an ethernet port for online firmware update. We use of burn -- with an update because the bug in the original firmware wouldn't let it connect online and that isn't particularly consumer friendly. There are also USB ports that don't do anything for now Toshiba says it has plans for them in the future so check -- popcorn in hand. -- and iniki. And you're gonna have to wait to taste the later in thirty seconds power pop and movie thirty seconds hello. So when it comes to climb the HDH who does not do 1080. It does upscale regular dvds and the act."

" The remote control buttons feel sluggish and are way too many buttons tightly packed together. But it's practical and functional for navigating HD dvd special features. The most important part watching HD dvds. Movies like the matrix and Batman begins are stunning visual details like the sky or the city's case they look really dead and the apartment I really -- equality is shadows black a solid black. Not that greeting get with the regular dvds on HDTV. So let me bring down the person that's gonna benefit from the Toshiba HDT news person that day just doesn't a lot of money and -- because XKPTV. -- do nothing or."

" This format war thing I hear that when they hit four to one brand sales it's over what about it -- that -- so that for every four one format is one of the other format movies on the -- it's over a and right now blu -- that we want to blu ray's winning it once though. I thought it was pretty much done."

" Done I was real quick war yeah I take along gonna play out thoughtful and this change of events with Paramount kind of align themselves HD. Dvd it is an extent that. Ward just a little bit that even -- it's estrangement and do I think it I don't recently that tactically speaking I'm like how it. One studio's. Pictures points made an entire format. I don't know I think."

" A lot of people here on the fence about buying them like -- specific movie you're not gonna go dropped 400 dollars or three in a box on player. To play it because why would you why would you spend the money on it I think there."

" The other great. And observation about this whole thing is is that players like McCain's. Gains and yet it's mainly blue. Yeah and so again if you're gonna."

" Well I am yeah hair what they -- yet the PS3 has -- four million. Yeah systems out there that plays Blu-ray right I would give it to Sony is 88. You know and everyone else is like you know in that when we get back in -- eleven was like -- I don't want that format the pink -- apply one have a choice but no whites only system on the table and they do all the cards -- better there all with -- baby it'd be unzipped -- fly just slap on the -- that -- the only -- here at quite a bit."

" Give it the same sort that they and so."

" So big."

" They they took a huge risk and away and and they're they're winning as a result and this only has taken a lot of risks that haven't paid off right. But this one -- appears to be in going in that direction but we'll we'll see if one studio and really shift. The vote I think the big thing is a packet there's nobody really making each dvd players to see that it is and they want it to other ones but Blu-ray hasn't held their own systems plus pioneer and all these."

" I can't even though both formats -- the system was was just fine I still wouldn't buy it because it could be obsolete. Yeah quickly because everybody is pretty to the knowledge like."

" I think that you would game consoles I think it's worth the risk because you buy it and if it your eyes yeah you think would be gaming you'll play regular dvds -- do these other things when you go dedicated. You're like what happens -- player dvds you know he's still can't -- it in the -- out because there's no movies to watch on it right but the website dot since I don't -- the HED and Blu-ray I think I'm just kind of waiting for the bargain basement and you know Floridians grabbed all the -- movies when one -- Huge collection positive on an. Up next how much you spend on long distance or how about getting unlimited calls for one time setup to take a look."

" Wow world world."

" No it's not an answering machine well it's kind of that too but it's so much more. If -- and it might be the ultimate in voice over IP or reveal -- why because there's no what he'd be to call anyways I'd be ever."

" There is however a one time canopy. For this it's called the hard."

" It's got lots of cool features voice mail is easily accessible just hit play when the light is blinking at the tracks -- racist it's so easy use. There's caller ID call return features to just like a regular phone."

" Plus there's an instant second line but with one number much like call waiting."

" Switching between calls is as simple as tapping the one or two or using the flash button on your telephone."

" But unlike basic call waiting to people who make calls at the same time."

" You do need any additional piece of hardware called a scout to connect to other phones in the house but it's a reasonable forty dollar option."

" Plus you get the answering machine like can be -- it."

" You would know it it was actually here network so other people's calls are routed to hop. Personally that it knows it and it -- but it doesn't go -- completely until September night. It does manageable -- usage -- sure there's enough reserved for any calls. Installation it's as simple -- in -- phone. With Mike brought bad it talks between might well them and blogger. For those combined -- and about persistent. Right after the routers. A red light on it and what's happening there's a problem hit -- to -- diagnostic like -- solid blue is good. The one thing to consider it standard landline. To access and I want what services or phone service when the power you can integrate -- regular service with Uma. That would OK you got your landline altogether get rid that monthly V. -- cover the popular -- under two years. From local calls. For anyone that uses a -- different well it will cover your costs a lot faster. For international calls who uses a prepaid system that you buy online. The rates are very competitive compared to Skype and -- natural -- you to prepaid system that you buy it online. The rates are very competitive patterns Skype and bought it. Bought it includes candidate with their service and the kingdom with their unlimited plan. But of course there's that monthly fee guide charges three point nights -- connection -- all these national calls. The bottom line -- would watch Hulu that initially dot. -- Pocket calculator simple phone bills and do a comparison I think -- papers are in no time. Domestic long distance callers I'm not so very -- work you see you -- even you land line."

" So it's very interesting they're using your appeared just likes it that content similar except that you -- that a boxing you don't need the computer use a regular phone. Which is huge Skype is limited as yet and I -- Scott policy if you want to call landmines have to pay it this way Yonhap news it's unlimited."

" Not of the -- pain one flat need to use it. For our I think it's great that's really the only thing is is that like don't make calls from man. And her yeah I know anything in the port worked my grandmother's. Have cell phones and they prefer to call them on the cell phone. Yet there -- idiots there -- eighty's wow that's a that's what I'm saying it that I it's it's not what here's what I'm okay. I think at night what do I get that box -- route. The calls through -- so I mean it's and -- you fat they do."

" I don't know who know that number anyway if you know. Is I got a good reason I have a landline I had on page which is awful lot without. Sounds terrible but the only reason I have is open the front gate -- FedEx -- and you yes. As it only time that no one even get a landline -- of different -- yet because I don't actually when it rings that you know. It's it's the on board I'm even say hello I just hit nine and let the person right so I can't let the lot of criminals including Canada I --"

" White people have land lines is in case of emergency yes but I feel and understand technology."

" Well well that his name -- it service because he'd brought and you lose power if it so do neatly yet much yet from the phone company you can't. Really access like night timeline at the power goes out and that now the phone will not work right so what album is so I am exactly."

" way out to everybody happy land like it's a connection with the phone company is for idiots out yet. In now."

" And you can't really well I guess some companies -- offering naked yes I would write a data phones it's -- but you pay extra for that it's like -- I don't know I don't know I I love it clocked up four. I if you make a lot a lot of long distance calls and you'd like -- is that the least I want to opt. It's an office if you think -- yet -- bucks a month on long distance great for businesses not necessary for personal yeah they -- depends on what what kind of user you are and that from my phone I like to use your cell -- for everything like I -- myself for everything. So I won't really work for me if you do that there there's got people out there that. Masses small businesses especially small and that's where I think I'm I'm thinking that person that talks across you know to somebody across country like -- six hours that I. Yeah."

" I think some people -- question for you switching gears -- where are we out of your submissions time."

" I have to I have to respond I respond to a few emails I'm happy about that. I have a few emails -- that's we have one -- in person who's actually inspired by S and lots in nineteen urged congress though but it but I he can I think he's pretty I -- get parents permission I. -- in our show and there's a few people that you know I haven't responded to the."

" Well -- here's -- deal with mission they're comin' in it's just we're kind of there. It's my -- we have won this but we will inexorably in that it. We will we will have -- and that is that people call me get this ship I mean this that we would and I can happen and there aren't. Hello. And it of the camera will take the entire corporate Nat. Yeah yeah and an effort for everybody wants you. Do a your submission you're an email that you. I bought it in digital online dot com and climbed promises he now. Yet thank you -- you see that. And it really done a very good."

" And since this is doing it until this amazing."

This episode of in digital has brought you by Netflix get them delivered right to your front door and no more late fees senate but www. Netflix.com. Slash in digital and it two weeks for."

" Personally I'm a -- in person but whom without so much better. And I had no idea what I'm gonna say if your -- okay. It hits the negativity he opened. Personally -- It."

" Next -- into the H dean and."
