Camera Tossing, Better Twitter, The Best Photo Printer, GPS Reccors

Friday, May 2nd, 2008 – running time 48:36
Toss your camera, make abstract art. (Or break it.) 1UP's Garnett Lee joins us to talk GTAIV. We love USB Flash Drives. Best GPS: Price unlimited and under $200. Firmware Fixes MacBook Problems. Do you trust Psystar's Mac Clones

Camera tossing? No, Brian, we'd never heard of it, and we're not sure that there's a safe way of doing it... you're chucking your cameras into the air! We do agree, tho, that you get pretty pictures! A good place for a beginner to start is the beginners guide: it's not about the height, it's about the spin! Definitely check out Flickers Camera Toss group. They list meetups where folks get together to toss cameras; should be a good source of ideas for ya!

What do we think of Psystar's prebuilt PC's running Mac OS X? Beyond Psystar illegally distributing the hack that makes OS X run on a PC, according to the guy that wrote it, early reports from people that have bought 'em say that you can't reinstall OS X with the software that ships in the box. If your HD goes down, or you want to do a fresh install, good luck. Psystar says on the website that it's working on "an automated reinstallation mechanism" and that they "do offer an alternative.” What that is, tho, they don't say.

Would you buy a Psystar knowing what you know about the machine? Let us know what you think and take our poll!

David who wants a better way to interact with Twitter. He's tried Tweetr and Twitterlicious, but according to David, they "just haven't been good programs" on 64 bit Vista. Veronica says check out TWHIRL. It works on any OS Adobe's Air can run on... it's the program that finally made Twitter make sense to Patrick! BTW, hahlo is great client for the iPhone! Anybody have a Twitter recco for the Blackberry?

Why, yes, you can follow Veronica and Patrick on Twitter.

Patrick's been having major problems with his MacBook crashing... the MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2 firmware update fixed 'em. We've got no idea what it did, just that it "fixes several issues to improve the stability of MacBook computers." And, no, OS X's Software Update never suggested the patch.

Our Netflix movie of the week is Serenity... essentially the wrap-up to the too-short-lived tv series Firefly, this mix of space travel, flight scenes, witty one liners definitely stands on its own, and it's a house favorite here at Tekzilla! Want to see it for free? Sign up for a Free Netflix Trial!

The Tekzilla Gadget of the Week? Roger has written an ode to the sadly under-appreciated USB Flash Drive. Without a giant stack of 'em, we'd never finish Tekzilla every week! GTA IV? Veronica's so excited about the new Grand Theft Auto this game she's practically vibrating... you've been talking about it in the forums, so we've got 1Up's Executive Editor Garnett Lee in to talk about it. There's Tons more GTA IV coverage, including PS3/360 comparisons at 1Up.com

Tekzilla's Freebie Download of the Week: Our favorite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source alternative to Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org... unless you're on a Mac, in which case you should check out NeoOffice!

A good quality photo printer? A budget between $200 and $700? Nicholas, you've got a lot of options! We talk about the Epson R1900, Canon Pro9000 and the Epson R2400 on the show.

You're probably hosed when it comes to cheap ink, tho... you're looking to do 13x19 prints, and they're just gonna chew thru cartridges!

The best GPS out there for the weekend road warrior? Loving this question, Kyle! There's certainly software you can run on your notebook such as Microsoft Streets & Trips 2008 and DeLorme's Street Atlas USA 2009, but regular 'stick to the dashboard' GPS devices are much more convenient. If you've got a grand, Garmin's nuvi 880 is the top of the line... it's the built in voice recognition that lets you talk it thru just about any feature that's so amazing.

Thinking something in the more under $200 range? Depending on where you shop, and if there's a sale on, we've seen the Mio C230 for as little as $130. Veronica's fave, the TomTom One for $150 and the excellent Garmin nuvi 200 for $180.

The winner of our "The Best GoDaddy Domain name ever!" is Tyler McIntyre and his PandaTalksTech.com! He just one a free year of GoDaddy.com hosting. Want to save 10% off your next GoDaddy order? Enter in the code TEK1 when you check out!

Websites we can't get enough of? This week's pick is [H]ard|OCP, an amazing website dedicated to getting every possible ounce of performance from your PC and its components... the site and its hardware reviews are most excellent, but the collected wisdom in the forums are what really put it over the top!

"I was wondering if you how to trace an someone's IP thru Yahoo Messenger and use that IP to locate a person where abouts." As far as we know, Ajay, you can't do this... not without hacking your way into Yahoo's servers anyhow, since you're just getting the IP from the Yahoo Messenger server on your client.

Brian has a laptop with a dead CD drive... we've got some ideas bout what he can do to fix that problem and get an OS re-installed on it.

In the Bay Area this weekend? We'll all be hanging out at the Maker Faire, say 'howdy' if you see us!

Your questions drive this show! Email 'em to us! Tekzilla@Revision3.com is the place to ask us your questions... or stop by the Tekzilla Forums.

" Jolly bitter he's not invite you want to be in the meeting with -- that happening Ani am in the morning. I'm so obviously. Your Mac user friendly singles would hope MacBook pro Arab have you downloaded the new you might firmware update that. Check back his chances are we -- that's right that is a great one for MacBook and MacBook pro users who have been an urgency MacBook primary users -- been having. Problems with crashing restarting monitor reset all sorts of weird little issues that had been kind of ignored. Might be fixed with this firmware update one dot -- at the beginning of April but it doesn't seem to be auto updating when you run you're software updates. And it basically all this is it fixes several issues Cooper of the stability of MacBook computers. Will put the direction you're gonna to manually download install it -- I was giving. Kernel panics like daily sometimes multiple times daily and I'd be running really challenging software like text pad which is word."

" Diana -- folks in the windows side and -- browsers and this has so far I have not had a kernel panic since the update. And let me think panic and is going to go."

" What's the problem. Like you hit the power button wait there. We panic manor home entertainment system I don't know what happened all of a sudden. Everything to shut down. It was like a power outage happened but like on the lights went on to everything in the home theater. And then the Xbox 360 had like that different ratings and we call -- terrible and then everything is turned -- that's fine."

" They're really different in my head the past. The scary isn't happening or the blew out. Every electrical appliance in their entire building I guess couple buildings around it. Television refrigerator electric stove his TV his Mac. -- I should say his like Apple to -- thanks in the sense that. His new computer we just go forum -- stereos dvd player was insane she blew up everything it ran like 400 -- you can't please you need to pay -- PG he was -- we've made a mistake it was a list."

" bad anyhow speaking of Macs what told you can buy and non Mac machine running OS-X. And enhancing not look turns out that five star corporation selling PC machines running OS-X courtesy of an EMI."

" And a lot of you have been emailing about discount and -- like federal MacBook her actions and Mac mini for last month but the white box easy to standard. Windows box so for about 400 bucks. And it's really funny because not Apple really has talked about it but we you can expect Apple's top team of scary. -- lawyers and that's the I don't worry any time now -- they -- exactly and and they're pretty intent Apple they love it lawyers' jobs would be. Dogs coming and that's. Scare me. -- The dogs you're gonna oblivion why yet I'm surprised like their their website hasn't disappeared again for legal reasons than just because it's it's been you know it gadget and website. Again. But it's it's that the boxes actually started shipping they're basically they're taking a basically -- very cool yet by electorate knows regular PC. Against the wishes of the people that wrote it they basically are violating the terms of agreement by selling commercially so there's another lawsuit right there. And when it show us how it turns out. That they've basically you're -- shrink wrapped copies of OS-X and -- has preinstalled on the box and you can't reinstall OS-X because they don't give you the codes of you have to reinstall you have you. Fine the free software you can already buying online. So maybe just want to try you know sexy basics and do it yourself notes how much."

" Yeah I mean we were waiting for people to get there is delivered to prove it was actually going to. Happen it's it's happening and it is happening to by getting the computers. And this one they can choose it couldn't get windows clinics or I was tenants installed with it right and I believe that your choice of operating system why not. But this is so ridiculous irony of this and we -- would you INS this machine."

" I'll tell we've had a lot of people further isn't -- this we've had people you know about the lyrics that about the sites are of people emailing about a sexy six. A tailor W her fears about -- USA six PC I'll see if -- get -- on the 500 dollar piece there's. You basically have to -- hardware configuration that's compatible and then it becomes. Kind of easy to put that brackets. But I think it's I think this this is a company or somebody's like you know what somebody should maybe maybe they have a whole bunch of lawyers on retainer and I think there'll will be able state."

" Like a pretty small company I highly doubt they have -- massive. Yeah I think there probably future smoking hole in the ground that equality bloggers and murder of lawyers and murder of arrows of Al from thunder trying to think of an appropriate I have several friends with law degrees who practice at all. Yet -- that is so we just nobody got is that what you think which money honey sites are knowing that you and I know in which you know about the machines lot of polish and aunts and in the form so definitely let us now the I shall move forward absolutely away from the possibly illegal boxes sent oxidant to whom possibly threatening legal versions of us and I think it's -- you know -- we have our first email and it's actually. The most odd -- seems brought in into the sport of camera tossing. An ass stuff this question. You ever heard them tell us your body stealing -- but it does do some images can be really cool I don't want to do Clark. Or but -- Patrick's case so what -- yes. Okay yeah Cambridge."

" Okay avatar thing which -- do -- iPhone right now what little discrimination images you big crazy squarely images these did not come from -- prone. Their from the Flickr. I can't were -- group and the idea is educate images by this by practically special photographic technique which is very hard to do that I thought basically you. -- hope -- and and you put it there. And it didn't work very well or try one more time and hopefully that anybody and if any -- this is enormously. Stop but if you're right you hit something that looks really crappy like that so. -- pictures on Flickr these are amazing these crazy -- be somebody to drop."

" NASA kind of like thing but I JPEG bank says that detect -- the technique here is regarded by some as insanity. For we -- the reckless books on Flickr that enjoy the abstract chance to her to physical photography the results from throwing our cameras into the air most -- at night in front very light sources. Now the heart of camera -- told is."

" Camera tossed -- Blogspot dot com which even has a tossing guide for beginners and what they say basically senate for a half second to two seconds. Shutter speed. The cannot hold -- and and you start and happens costs indoors right may -- about a pillow so you work out to be seen at like eight feet and hair pulled. Yeah and it's it's really simple right if you can't afford to lose the camera. Don't toss the camera or maybe you originate in her ball and carve out a camera like space -- and -- inside that hope it doesn't land on the ones we basically. You know this is a fun way to try to do something that could basically end up destroying your equipment. So used cheap equipment if you have it it -- perhaps second to second publishers beat. It what you might think that number when they get to keep him from hitting the ground I. I think we're we're back catching on your forehead if you've ever had a half pound pound and a half steel or even -- plastic object banging on thought I'd rather hit in the head. If that it that's it took to not freak. I would rather have not conscious of doing things could be worse than like breaking your camera construct an asphalt is having hit your head knock you out and are now all of and then bounced onto the -- small."

" So you. Pictures they're pretty eager to show her picture taken into thousand dollars -- it more you don't wave or if you're really into photography. Cute in danger such a beautiful Apple blew it you know wanna know why wait wait hold -- to -- that. But -- I'm just punishment you can images like this. Kind of -- and who -- that you noticed Graham Norton."

" One little luck -- account size yet so -- and it and it."

" You know will finally nice inexpensive camera to view it it basically that was tossing this in the studio pretty. So anyhow. You know based yeah I agree it's done it's stupid but -- like shining path will that a little bit impressed at all like Andy at Hopkins in the studio like -- a bigger -- the red -- there. With the talents at India -- the Flickr group which even has cost a bit -- could actually really want to go to one that was like twenty eyed maniacs -- cameras like."

" Deeply into Indiana and the -- confused them --"

" I think that from a one at a time it -- all at once saturation. I think. -- wet weather for -- rebel came back with a yeah yeah mechanical technical."

" I thought you know what I'm thinking now would be a good time to talk about our Netflix sponsored moving sick of believed."

" It's essentially the wrap up to this short. Live to actually very very badly -- inspired why don't box. You'll appreciate the movie Morton and the theory but you don't worry. -- it's just -- it's the story editor the rebels are bringing. It. Simultaneously outbreak the government covering the secret and space travel sites scenes leading one liners enough and just. Exiting the credit revisions reforms that -- you're done watching. In the form press and don't forget it you're creating movie rentals without Jack into the store and Netflix dot com. With over 90% of online including titles it. In the life. Plus forty shipping and it's almost all -- happens if one is his. And -- history -- Started for 99 and -- a Tekzilla viewer you can get a free trial by signing up at www. Netflix dot com --"

" Is that what's into the Tekzilla gadget of the week we hear you that one gadget is we're device that makes their lives just a little bit easier this week's yeah. USB flash drive how which I laughed but without. The lowly USB flash drive Tekzilla itself without them you don't we basis. That you could find using flash stylus and others about it where they're so -- get away with press kits and probably one of the most under rated pieces of computing technology. Available. What -- under -- Isn't that for the floppy drive USB flash kind of scrutiny that's great place perhaps the only way to continue to grand tradition of -- you're getting small. Files from one machine and -- letters across the room across Canada because you want to have that favorite time to. Videos and photos important documents applications and encrypted data. Pretty much is these guys with size crazy from a tiny 512 megabytes probably come here. Do 816 -- Two gigabyte model you can by the USB flash -- that fits your particular needs and budget. You just becomes that's transfer things aren't you reading machines had any problems. Act and Xbox as laptops and videogames counsel for the Xbox 36 history not to mention some car stereos and what -- Well not everyone I appreciate the power of a little USB flash drive through -- through here its excellent does. After all we use this and for an."

" Do you power supply issue. It's that now the I have questions okay I can go to program I was attacked by -- power supply it's it's it's a question from David northern. I didn't know there could -- that didn't want -- now. You think twitter for a number of months now and I like the fact that I can tweak from the web my phone or by I am. And looking around inner -- for it could twitter desktop yeah I've tried out sweeter and twitter in the chest and they just haven't been good -- They don't look particularly professional and they can crash often under Vista X 64 Hulu. Gold standard operating system access yes. Yes well there are quite a few different options that you can I mean for and you can pretty much you can go to twitter and go to the other PB Wiki and it and it has a list of every app for every website or anything is there API that. So you're pretty much you're you're gonna find something like that personally -- there's a minimum of the one to one ratio between twitter users -- put her hand. Inside -- think there have been -- for twitter yes that's exactly it's a long list yes but my present they've just for all. It's TW HIR -- and it will run anything that runs on Adobe air."

" I haven't I haven't personally run and on 64 bit Vista but I've run it on 32 bit Vista and had zero problems."

" And I read an OS-X and it works -- and I really enjoy it quite -- it's got every every feature you could possibly -- they were just recently bought by -- Which is -- a video sharing platform. He's content like video blogging -- upload videos and have like a friends list -- current twitter for video. The really scary thought I -- they have that apt to."

" And I I get yeah the I didn't really do it twitter until I started running sort of -- some other applications like now I'm not a -- that."

" a twitter pressure myself. -- running me -- had to sign up what is your twitter. My tutor is tutor dot com slash burn and I'm twitter.com slash Patrick Norton but anyway Eric addressing."

" On if you have an iPhone -- Hollowed halo HA HL -- And is a great -- found that makes it's just a web based app you know just like anything else but you don't need to have -- hacked iPhone to use that are doing that and some really cool aren't iPhone but we're -- there are touched us. They are really costly add twitter you know you can use the payments anyway you can think I mean there's a million billion different planes."

" So now if you don't know a twitter is just go to sign up experience it be -- be fascinated. --"

" Hello Roger what's right right here legend Roger written or Rogers jolly Roger -- twitter.com slash hunter on there I mean -- sign up for it you know I must be good right Henry Rollins and Warren Ellis and it is Barack Obama it's fast. Yeah either permanently treating himself. He's probably got some guy on the president's -- themselves all presidential the president else. -- waited trying to insinuate your political beliefs did that show package."

" Nixon twitter is different fact that he Nixon -- it with other what -- we could just a couple of both in the forums about. What does this GTE. Would that be. Grand Theft Auto IV happy girl to my left here is and news I think I think pacifist and it can. So much the theories that show. It's not really surprised that you've been dark matter in the forums because it's being released this week -- ironical is bouncing literally opened that we enjoyed -- like a small action figure pool table. We followed me great opportunity for it talked or but he currently one dot -- this rather highly anticipated game."

" Yeah. It's one of executive editor and is currently we have to get this expert view on G four which an extremely excited about you on on."

" Going -- as an expert does is awesome. Here's an expert guy it was super expert program that you're exciting don't waiting for you."

" When you get yes yes yes I am very much looking forward to you you know. So emotional about."

" Com let's -- getting insane reviews all across the board -- meta critic and -- and 99. So that's -- amalgamation of all the -- reviews -- out -- that it's really intense I mean that's you know basically -- of time was kind of the gold standard for -- reviews and now. GT four comes along and kind of blows it -- water why that's so it basically is what masking."

" because only grown up a lot you know this game has been a long time and development and I think people really got skeptical of it over that time right because there was such a long delay between San Andreas in this new machines. Get a lot of hot coffee fall out if people -- it was assaulted from all directions right so. There's there's skepticism and forth to pull this off I think this speaks volumes of how much they've really improved the winning the game. They actually shrink the amount of space that they put in the games -- Andreas was three cities where this is one city. But the ones that he has so much density it really feels like you're in a real city go everywhere from you know. A suburban near residential area we have tree lined -- things -- you know the prettiest downtown warehouse district. Over to you know someplace it's got seedy dive bars it has everything it really feels like a real city and so I think that quiet about the score is that. It has both the open ended up speaking get into it and play around with the game this and it has this new. Character in Nico who's pretty interesting guy I mean we haven't really played a eastern European immigrant the right. They say they don't see where he's from so he's. Unknown eastern European descent and he comes and he really embodies kind of like this whole take on the broken American dream right because he's lured over by his brother. And it gets any signs that things are really like what they think they are. But it it'll actually do expect the wire in our -- so we're really pleased and about idea right because you can you can almost picture these -- you -- you this imagination of yeah I know I have a context that picture of that gang warfare and organized crime lords of the so he's -- looking good guy Clinton terrible situation well it's not commented. I mean anyone that takes a gun but the back of someone's head and you know drops them that's -- the guy right."

" What is more sympathetic and other leading man we have in the past and she -- Kansas he has a girlfriend. Yeah they're really cares okay."

" CJ in San Andreas had a girlfriend girlfriends you know but I think -- getting into it. That makes it better course of the multiplicity us what we're getting -- here is that. The games able to convey some of those themes lake city again America back to more television shows or stuff like the shield okay again here's a guy who's not a good guy. But he's not a bad guy and you start to sympathize you build average and that's why that's why you really clear -- you know -- complicated it's complicated. It's complicated that suck on like your FaceBook relationship it -- gotten complicated."

" It's complicated that's awful. Never made an association again anyway so how the graphics and escape right they really like a step up and beyond beyond the the PS2 version and then it's gotta be."

" They're better looking games out there they're not better looking games that half the size and scope of the city this. You gotta both companies sixty in history and they're they're they -- subtly different that he just because the way the difference is the hardware -- the history has some. Has some subtle texture thing -- filters that it applies it and some illicit that the congress look warmer and softer but that 360 looks more pirates pay whatever they both look fantastic the game plays well I think the big difference is on line. You know both of the systems how online with a 360 on my system is more sophisticated. For instance. You know just because -- when you're playing -- 360 you're gonna know when your friends are points it lets all get together and it's like running played -- in his own world and plague code you know together like one of the most things but things to do is. Give -- your buddies together -- and a car and go to drive byes. You -- it fell off all right but it's like it really really fun. If he's getting warm modes where where you're trying to the viper controls that are part of the city of pneumonia when you're although it up -- in your -- you know hanging out the window. In -- and sounds of -- but I also don't home -- it is actually really blood it is really fun."

" How many people can -- any multnomah. --"

" A -- aren't cloning. But don't have fun I don't know I don't really get on the phone numbers and spoke about Sonia and have a lot of fun you'll you'll you'll be thinking oh I wish where people in this game."

" Then -- so you can't expect something like the hot coffee situation to come again like it is it just gonna take some time before people are -- and a close up people line."

" I don't know I mean hot coffee was still the right hard copy with you actually had to break the game to get hot coffee and that was more of a political situation that got manipulated so much bigger thing. Thing. Is that something hidden by the code could there be chattering. -- programmers likely Easter eggs. And I wouldn't put it above someone to have -- something in there and if it's there -- some it'll find it they'll blow out of proportion. I don't know I don't think you have to really worry about -- So what is the most -- up thing you've done it again so far. It does such a difficult question because I kind of play through the story first and I'm still really immersed in -- part and I think that like the whole screwed up stuff is when you start going. Outside the store you know after you finish the game and you're just raising Helen and going crazy in the game and that's really. What a lot of people do it I think that probably more people play the game teams screw around and then play the game for the storyline I'm probably an anomaly. For me I'm just seeing like the descent of Nikko into. But this this. It disillusioned underbelly of Liberty City has really affected me in and that's when he I mean he -- Don't spoil the story but there's there's an assassinate -- that takes -- very close to them and by that point you're like wow that's that's cold blooded."

" Hardcore so what is the new features that we can look for any game I've heard that there's a GPS like thing going on when you're driving around."

" There's kind that we is that anyone of the things that I haven't caught -- some of the guys my office I was."

" It on -- into the Internet cafe. And yeah I think so. I don't know why you want to go to the Internet cafe with in the game but you can go to Internet cafe with in the game. And they have it's very much like -- America people in the there's like personals there's web sites to fool around that is wow there's -- what kind of stuff and to me that wasn't really a big pick up but I know a couple of guys thought that was legal one of the things that I like that really pulled me you know like into believing is yours if you interface for the you know the cell phone. And I mean I can myself on arrival times are getting texts and calls without a program natural. I am and then of course is the radio stations and the radio stations are awesome. I think it real surprised because the soundtrack to this game is a little more obscure. Than the previous contracts and have a big -- artists -- stuff. But it really captures the feel of riding around listening to the you know the crazy radio station you're listening to in New Yorkers so its Google I like that. So bottom line do you recommend the -- Absolutely of it is definitely for adults they I thought it was very funny that senator Leland Yee issued a press conference -- press statement is that you know. Parents should not be buying this game for the children well but no kidding yeah relate to me something I didn't know but for the rest of us you know who are old enough to enjoy and appreciate you know against the -- of touch based on the on the sopranos and those sort of crime dramas its its fantastic. The realization of the characters really plays into it because of really really interesting -- the way that that story unfolds makes a lot of sense that's fun that's really so."

" I ain't gonna thank you so much for coming in and telling us all about teaching for a killing to go home and wreaks havoc both. -- myself and online -- income you can -- ride my car Sweden doesn't -- nice pop pop. The thing about that that was terrible. All the little Lombardo -- GJ -- just -- catch up on your video game reviews you don't have a huge walker right."

" We do complete with videos all of the hidden secrets spots and went into the missions we're gonna analysts --"

" Excellent RA had check out one -- dot com it's time now for a short message from the United States airports."

" Yeah it's. Yeah."

And looking around inner -- for it could twitter desktop yeah I've tried out sweeter and twitter in the chest and they just haven't been good -- They don't look particularly professional and they can crash often under Vista X 64 Hulu. Gold standard operating system access yes. Yes well there are quite a few different options that you can I mean for and you can pretty much you can go to twitter and go to the other PB Wiki and it and it has a list of every app for every website or anything is there API that. So you're pretty much you're you're gonna find something like that personally -- there's a minimum of the one to one ratio between twitter users -- put her hand. Inside -- think there have been -- for twitter yes that's exactly it's a long list yes but my present they've just for all. It's TW HIR -- and it will run anything that runs on Adobe air."

" I haven't I haven't personally run and on 64 bit Vista but I've run it on 32 bit Vista and had zero problems."

" And I read an OS-X and it works -- and I really enjoy it quite -- it's got every every feature you could possibly -- they were just recently bought by -- Which is -- a video sharing platform. He's content like video blogging -- upload videos and have like a friends list -- current twitter for video. The really scary thought I -- they have that apt to."

" And I I get yeah the I didn't really do it twitter until I started running sort of -- some other applications like now I'm not a -- that."

" a twitter pressure myself. -- running me -- had to sign up what is your twitter. My tutor is tutor dot com slash burn and I'm twitter.com slash Patrick Norton but anyway Eric addressing."

" On if you have an iPhone -- Hollowed halo HA HL -- And is a great -- found that makes it's just a web based app you know just like anything else but you don't need to have -- hacked iPhone to use that are doing that and some really cool aren't iPhone but we're -- there are touched us. They are really costly add twitter you know you can use the payments anyway you can think I mean there's a million billion different planes."

" So now if you don't know a twitter is just go to sign up experience it be -- be fascinated. --"

" Hello Roger what's right right here legend Roger written or Rogers jolly Roger -- twitter.com slash hunter on there I mean -- sign up for it you know I must be good right Henry Rollins and Warren Ellis and it is Barack Obama it's fast. Yeah either permanently treating himself. He's probably got some guy on the president's -- themselves all presidential the president else. -- waited trying to insinuate your political beliefs did that show package."

" Nixon twitter is different fact that he Nixon -- it with other what -- we could just a couple of both in the forums about. What does this GTE. Would that be. Grand Theft Auto IV happy girl to my left here is and news I think I think pacifist and it can. So much the theories that show. It's not really surprised that you've been dark matter in the forums because it's being released this week -- ironical is bouncing literally opened that we enjoyed -- like a small action figure pool table. We followed me great opportunity for it talked or but he currently one dot -- this rather highly anticipated game."

" Yeah. It's one of executive editor and is currently we have to get this expert view on G four which an extremely excited about you on on."

" Going -- as an expert does is awesome. Here's an expert guy it was super expert program that you're exciting don't waiting for you."

" When you get yes yes yes I am very much looking forward to you you know. So emotional about."

" Com let's -- getting insane reviews all across the board -- meta critic and -- and 99. So that's -- amalgamation of all the -- reviews -- out -- that it's really intense I mean that's you know basically -- of time was kind of the gold standard for -- reviews and now. GT four comes along and kind of blows it -- water why that's so it basically is what masking."

" because only grown up a lot you know this game has been a long time and development and I think people really got skeptical of it over that time right because there was such a long delay between San Andreas in this new machines. Get a lot of hot coffee fall out if people -- it was assaulted from all directions right so. There's there's skepticism and forth to pull this off I think this speaks volumes of how much they've really improved the winning the game. They actually shrink the amount of space that they put in the games -- Andreas was three cities where this is one city. But the ones that he has so much density it really feels like you're in a real city go everywhere from you know. A suburban near residential area we have tree lined -- things -- you know the prettiest downtown warehouse district. Over to you know someplace it's got seedy dive bars it has everything it really feels like a real city and so I think that quiet about the score is that. It has both the open ended up speaking get into it and play around with the game this and it has this new. Character in Nico who's pretty interesting guy I mean we haven't really played a eastern European immigrant the right. They say they don't see where he's from so he's. Unknown eastern European descent and he comes and he really embodies kind of like this whole take on the broken American dream right because he's lured over by his brother. And it gets any signs that things are really like what they think they are. But it it'll actually do expect the wire in our -- so we're really pleased and about idea right because you can you can almost picture these -- you -- you this imagination of yeah I know I have a context that picture of that gang warfare and organized crime lords of the so he's -- looking good guy Clinton terrible situation well it's not commented. I mean anyone that takes a gun but the back of someone's head and you know drops them that's -- the guy right."

" What is more sympathetic and other leading man we have in the past and she -- Kansas he has a girlfriend. Yeah they're really cares okay."

" CJ in San Andreas had a girlfriend girlfriends you know but I think -- getting into it. That makes it better course of the multiplicity us what we're getting -- here is that. The games able to convey some of those themes lake city again America back to more television shows or stuff like the shield okay again here's a guy who's not a good guy. But he's not a bad guy and you start to sympathize you build average and that's why that's why you really clear -- you know -- complicated it's complicated. It's complicated that suck on like your FaceBook relationship it -- gotten complicated."

" It's complicated that's awful. Never made an association again anyway so how the graphics and escape right they really like a step up and beyond beyond the the PS2 version and then it's gotta be."

" They're better looking games out there they're not better looking games that half the size and scope of the city this. You gotta both companies sixty in history and they're they're they -- subtly different that he just because the way the difference is the hardware -- the history has some. Has some subtle texture thing -- filters that it applies it and some illicit that the congress look warmer and softer but that 360 looks more pirates pay whatever they both look fantastic the game plays well I think the big difference is on line. You know both of the systems how online with a 360 on my system is more sophisticated. For instance. You know just because -- when you're playing -- 360 you're gonna know when your friends are points it lets all get together and it's like running played -- in his own world and plague code you know together like one of the most things but things to do is. Give -- your buddies together -- and a car and go to drive byes. You -- it fell off all right but it's like it really really fun. If he's getting warm modes where where you're trying to the viper controls that are part of the city of pneumonia when you're although it up -- in your -- you know hanging out the window. In -- and sounds of -- but I also don't home -- it is actually really blood it is really fun."

" How many people can -- any multnomah. --"

" A -- aren't cloning. But don't have fun I don't know I don't really get on the phone numbers and spoke about Sonia and have a lot of fun you'll you'll you'll be thinking oh I wish where people in this game."

" Then -- so you can't expect something like the hot coffee situation to come again like it is it just gonna take some time before people are -- and a close up people line."

" I don't know I mean hot coffee was still the right hard copy with you actually had to break the game to get hot coffee and that was more of a political situation that got manipulated so much bigger thing. Thing. Is that something hidden by the code could there be chattering. -- programmers likely Easter eggs. And I wouldn't put it above someone to have -- something in there and if it's there -- some it'll find it they'll blow out of proportion. I don't know I don't think you have to really worry about -- So what is the most -- up thing you've done it again so far. It does such a difficult question because I kind of play through the story first and I'm still really immersed in -- part and I think that like the whole screwed up stuff is when you start going. Outside the store you know after you finish the game and you're just raising Helen and going crazy in the game and that's really. What a lot of people do it I think that probably more people play the game teams screw around and then play the game for the storyline I'm probably an anomaly. For me I'm just seeing like the descent of Nikko into. But this this. It disillusioned underbelly of Liberty City has really affected me in and that's when he I mean he -- Don't spoil the story but there's there's an assassinate -- that takes -- very close to them and by that point you're like wow that's that's cold blooded."

" Hardcore so what is the new features that we can look for any game I've heard that there's a GPS like thing going on when you're driving around."

" There's kind that we is that anyone of the things that I haven't caught -- some of the guys my office I was."

" It on -- into the Internet cafe. And yeah I think so. I don't know why you want to go to the Internet cafe with in the game but you can go to Internet cafe with in the game. And they have it's very much like -- America people in the there's like personals there's web sites to fool around that is wow there's -- what kind of stuff and to me that wasn't really a big pick up but I know a couple of guys thought that was legal one of the things that I like that really pulled me you know like into believing is yours if you interface for the you know the cell phone. And I mean I can myself on arrival times are getting texts and calls without a program natural. I am and then of course is the radio stations and the radio stations are awesome. I think it real surprised because the soundtrack to this game is a little more obscure. Than the previous contracts and have a big -- artists -- stuff. But it really captures the feel of riding around listening to the you know the crazy radio station you're listening to in New Yorkers so its Google I like that. So bottom line do you recommend the -- Absolutely of it is definitely for adults they I thought it was very funny that senator Leland Yee issued a press conference -- press statement is that you know. Parents should not be buying this game for the children well but no kidding yeah relate to me something I didn't know but for the rest of us you know who are old enough to enjoy and appreciate you know against the -- of touch based on the on the sopranos and those sort of crime dramas its its fantastic. The realization of the characters really plays into it because of really really interesting -- the way that that story unfolds makes a lot of sense that's fun that's really so."

" I ain't gonna thank you so much for coming in and telling us all about teaching for a killing to go home and wreaks havoc both. -- myself and online -- income you can -- ride my car Sweden doesn't -- nice pop pop. The thing about that that was terrible. All the little Lombardo -- GJ -- just -- catch up on your video game reviews you don't have a huge walker right."

" We do complete with videos all of the hidden secrets spots and went into the missions we're gonna analysts --"

" Excellent RA had check out one -- dot com it's time now for a short message from the United States airports."

" Yeah it's. Yeah."

" They're both emails and my request is this I'm in the market for good quality photo printer somewhere between 20700. Dollars it rains hit -- I've been looking at yet -- 192400. And it can pro 9000. Different color but we'll occasional. Print black and white and I do want to print to the thirteen by making these format.

" Yeah right so if you're printing pretty giant photos to pen the script when it comes to ink either way. The ink is expensive and you're going to be using allotment."

Product 15300 Princeton. You know whatever people what did you mean when paper whatever pretty but. -- look at the cost per page estimates are these the number of maybe principal target and it's all over the map with like. Mostly those search for the best price for cartridges along want. Book for sales and makes you principally at least once or twice a month because if you're like a whole bunch of friends and you put literally for a couple -- make sure you -- it -- Least probably every two weeks and print something because if you don't your ink cartridges will dry up -- and it you know fifteen bucks a pop thirteen bucks a pop 68 colors it's like six times fifteen that's a big number."

" You know pretty ink is actually worth it's more than a twinkle that's a frightening thought yeah like that it's actually one of the most valuable things on the planet. Further it's like that for the size that you get for the price it and not crazy."

" Well especially -- below the printer market they're basically they're giving away hardware to sell you again that's just. The horrible reality of that business you're gonna spend money and with a thirteen by nineteen you know that you like five test copies -- color balance. The way you want you're going to be spending a lot of money -- because evenly around."

" And it also slower about thanks so much and and we'll talk about quality and price. One image Mackinnon -- not prone 9000 sits right in the middle of your price range around 450 dollars online and at one PC magazine editor's choice and it's just good printer it's a great photo printer for the price it uses eight colors of -- to give you a great color -- especially on skin tones and can't offers some pretty cool fine art papers to go with that instantly so apparently it's been nice. So large so -- and other text printing at kind of crappy. But those are minor cons I would say yes or for the good quality at the price."

" Its its its considered one of the best -- sort of you know print on April now it's huge it's like it's flat eat it weighs thirty pounds it's a big big -- Anderson it's a serious partner."

" That are Spector seriously there. -- answer yes. Yeah limit the -- and stylus photo 9191900. I can print photos up to thirteen by 44 inches and a PC magazine interview and David stone Patrick."

" He's just he's -- that he's been reviewed critters for years he touches all the good -- he just he does great work reviewing programs."

" And they have some problems with a paper handling but it's okay to have the photos plus imprint on CDs. So it has -- you're making that makes taping them into the eighty content on me. On the other sides. Of --"

" I don't see how it's gonna cost about a 10250. Dollars more that you're going to spend the product but still very much in your range it's very imaginary now."

" Some -- outside of your brain -- is abstinence art when he 400 that's running around. 850 bucks or so is is athens' new ultra Chrome -- three ink. Which has three shades of."

" Black it's crazy it's actually two machines and grade plus a black. -- a blank hard much all the black target you can change yes. With different types of paper so exposed to be absolutely outrageous for black and white photos and of course --"

" So it's good that's gonna cost you way more money for vinyl those stupid black ink cartridges diet."

" Well I guess -- a most people are gonna like pick up a type of paper they like in its print them at all the times is gonna buy -- yeah yes. It's a pretty slick system you know he's -- for old Apple moved to cartridge but it -- it was I think it was strange and they were okay with the results but again they figure like you know what you probably pick one type of paper just been to that type of black -- it's -- than usual system."

Psystar = Blasphemy

This is whole Psystar thing is blasphemy. I would not put down hard earn cash on such a questionable machine. Additionally, as a geek of sorts, I' rather build the entire machine myself! So take that Psystar.

About the PsyStar thing:

The hardware is DIRT CHEAP comparing to European prices.
I would by the computer without an operating system installed, then later on putting in osx86 myself. Are they INTEL or AMD based computahz? AMD processors in my experienced have been buggy, resulting in a lot of kernel panics.

If somebody chooses to order the computer loaded with leopard, take running a computer that isn't updateable into consideration. Or well, in order to update you'll have to in some cases modify the kernel, which I had to do through the command line (frightening).

The standard macbook pro is FASTER than the psystar computer (benchmarking mad
Serious printer is serious.

Great episode.

Btw, Veronica, where did you get that AWESOME light bulb?

i went to the page with the video and it seems logical to have a link there. maybe i just missed it, but in that case the link is not obvious enough ;)

That Veronica Belmont is one hot piece of ace, I know from experience dude. If you know what I mean.

I laughed my pooper off when (@ 17:20) she said "Happy girl likes to kill prostitutes and steal their money back" then, as her smile changed to a look of confusion, looked off camera and said "did I just say that?" That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on rev3.

I use Digsby as my Twitter client. I combines IM and social networks in one piece of software. I really like it! It's Windows only atm.

Oh, and thanks Veronica, for my new signature ;)

Veronica B shaking with anticipation has got to be the most endearing thing I've seen in a long time.
