Quad vs. Dual Core, Private P2P, Notebook Overheating

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 – running time 34:44
Is there any point to encrypting P2P? Boxee.TV. Keep Your Notebook from Overheating, Can I upgrade my motherboard without re-installing Windows? Free Software. Weasels in our Pants!

Veronica was buzzing around Montreal in Quebec, Canada and Roger was tooling around San Diego Comic-Con meeting celebrities and spending quality time with the Ayleen and friends at the October toys booth. (He also ran into Felicia Day from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog while he was at Comi-Con

Veronica Belmont... although according to last week's credit my name is also Roger Chang.

Ready to win our Badass Monster Gaming Machine? (Sponsored by Nvidia!) We'll have the full details soon; our build a PC segment will be delayed a week as the parts we order wind their way thru the Internets. Our apologies for the delay!

CJ's angry with Patrick! He says, "Patrick is sorely misinformed if he believes that a quad core gaming system doesn't benefit from the two extra cores." Sorry, CJ, just because boutique builders can get folks to drop cash on quad core CPUs doesn't mean they help much on gaming. Check out Look at ExtremeTech's Core 2 Quad vs. the Core 2 E8500. We're building dual core for now... then, when quad core chips get cheap (and there are heaps more game that pop with quad core) we'll upgrade!

This week's Freebie Download Pick: Notepad Plus Plus a nice clean text editor designed for coders that supports syntax highlighting for languages like C, C#, C++, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Perl, and PHP. (If you're hard core enough you can define your own language syntax!) and packs auto-completion, bookmarks, split screen editing, a hex editor... and quite a bit more!

Zac wants to know which media center software he should on his Mac, and wants to know what we think of Boxee. Veronica's got a full review of this slick (and social) replacement for Front Row that works with the Apple Remote.

Want to add music or sound effect to Skype calls? So does Eric.

We want your questions on video! Just record yourself asking a question no longer than 15 seconds, upload the video to YouTube, then email us the link with "Video Question" in the subject line. (No attachments, please!)

As an added incentive.... Veronica will be giving away Boxee invites to 25 people at random who email us with VMAIL questions!

This Week's Website We Can't Get Enough Of: GetHuman.com, one of the crappiest looking and most useful websites we've ever talked about. GetHuman allows you to figure out which combination of phone buttons will connect you to an actual living, breathing person that can answer your questions!

James emails from the UK with some serious concerns about P2P privacy "It's become quite clear that the government are teaming up with ISPs in order to punish anyone caught using filesharing programs; I've heard that DNS configuration, and encryption can be quite valuable in protecting yourself online, but I'm unsure where to start."

First off, we'd love for the Tekzilla Crew to email us with their ideas about how to protect yourself online... second, we've got some questions about how useful it is to encrypt P2P traffic, but encrypting email is quite useful. Tor is great for hiding your tracks when you're online.

As far as DNS goes... yes, you can use OpenDNS to help secure yourself, and here's some more info on that: Secure and Speed Up Internet Surfing with OpenDNS. BTW, Dan Kaminsky is -the- source, his website , DoxPara Research is chock full o' useful info,

Yes, the Pirate Bay Wants To Encrypt The Entire Interent. Good luck with that.

Daniel wants to know if he can upgrade his motherboard and CPU without reinstalling Windows.

Is that notebook burning your lap? Xander asks "Exactly what options do us laptop owners have when it comes to keeping our cool - besides moving to a colder area? I've heard about laptop cooling stands, but how well do these function?" We've got options for Xander

Macbook/Macbook Pro users should check out SMC Fan Control... anybody know of a good Windows fan control utility? Email us: Tekzilla@Revision3.com.

" War."

" Does that Tekzilla sponsored by square space dot com and Netflix dot com and GoDaddy -- can opt. Coming up on today's show where we go then why now all we got peer to peer secretly some tools and tricks he -- notebook from overheating the weasels in your lap and -- at all. Helping them free software and quite -- stack of your your questions up the phony zip up your pants -- old room ridiculous starts."

" Edmonds Tekzilla Patrick Norton."

" I could Almonte the little according to last week's credit my name is actually Roger -- Rajiv."

" Changed. But. What a horrible show that you people will."

" A doctor horrible --"

" It's actually -- to future last week except for me I have enjoyed TV and doctor horrible. Your team you're just cutting your Q now we're -- the small creature the baby the adult actually trends he thinks it's in my son will be teenager. Advocacy mean everything I do you."

" Went to Montreal Roger Clinton and -- I have more fun mom probably Roger. I kind of wish I going to -- doesn't efficient so some might say some Cuttino. And that -- speaks for transport link. And done yet but he project that's sea fleet today his good pal of mine he branding and you're good panel -- yeah I -- opportunities it did pretty good ha you know me and I was. And I. But -- yet it was I had a good trip and Roger obviously had a good time he got some of the doctor horrible casting their panel and he went on but just cool stuff like that sound okay that you're on your surprise."

" Roger's done bring in the comic con -- report the -- to -- and -- and -- And I suspect you read them -- a ton of Flickr photos from my trip. You kind of shaken by clinic comic -- here's another candidate Bob persons speaking French you can tell from the picture suspected man I cannot speak French at all. Lol actually French people city can -- folks don't really speak French either that's what is happening. Tell when year old. Acquire the ability to segment sponsored by Nvidia or legal. We get the parts were wind their way from tubes in the internet's our apologies for the delay we promise you it will be. That."

" Plug into something later he's plunge them. Closer to three anyhow I think it's time in fact that some people when meteors an act of congress yes actually -- outfit effort emailers seems to be quite angry with you know. What else is -- right Kelly and these days. These -- right. Budget is sorely misinformed if he believes that a Quad Core gaming system doesn't benefit from the two extra cores. Perhaps he needs to take a look at what the boutique builders are using in their top of the line computers holiness games is that your yes you can give them fully utilize the full power of a Quad Core processor to -- huge you. Those extra cores will always come in handy for regular day to day use outside game."

" Yeah I'm a moron for not spending some video might get a Quad Core especially CJ since you -- when are bad ass monster game machine sponsored by Nvidia expect few months for the speaking Quad Core power -- he's PCR my guess I can bounce that a of the tremendously as the many of them cause as much as it reasonably good use Clark hears him I. And there especially bathroom Firefox two point now and iTunes and word. I also -- the very good for gaming. Apparently actually the really good for encoding -- they're also very -- those who keep billed as a getting those of -- can assure Hollywood and -- victim by either -- TV cases if you wiring and stuff which are all wrapped around the fact those Quad Core processors. That's that you we could go with a core two quad Q 6600 running at two point four gigahertz 485 bucks. Streets or Intel core two quad Q 9550. Running -- two point 83 gigahertz for 550 dollars. I think that machine and stick yourself in the dead."

" Forever three gigahertz Intel core two extreme QX guys it's fifty for mere -- 1020 dollars before taxes and shipping. But you know we went behind clock speed. We can get on the cheap which we -- will benefit most days gained a bit more better can't you know what that megahertz or faster Quad Core parts it's much cheaper here."

" I just dropped when it in the meantime we got a hundred dollars to spend -- something else to monitor or. On an old Tibet monitors there. Or being born every sort of like that. -- CDC it is red stripes in here -- by the blue green stripes. That's the -- core. Two processor vs a bunch of quad processors. So yes actually on some games quad processors are faster. But look at that the court to me 500 is lookin' for the darn fast. It anytime CJ ITE -- kid. I I fans with you don't be -- I think that's your list of parts for injuries were curious he battled back in the forums. But you know we could've gone well you know there's a lot of really expensive ports we -- it. Thought it would give us an incremental performance improvement a couple of games but you know."

" Roger I apparently were just she thought. Movie is that it is actually quite inexpensive quick and easy with a moment to think what the sponsors and -- show square space. And you know I can barely program my way back map."

" Instruction -- now. It's called the publishing system makes sense hardly use it for being on what type the square feet from the website dual boot with anybody with both blogger portfolio -- looking -- a website because small. The latest release is really slight hit -- that last week. It's it's important right -- was there and offers with the -- quote. Unquote -- to bring it pretty much amazing. Fifteen website to -- people like me that -- into him back now. And clicking and dragging you can pretty much improved iPhone -- found from a pocket -- on the Internet it's really slick and it's really really easy. CoreStates doesn't care if your blog or taken in business or blog that was to be taking any business -- to be number one on -- just like Veronica. It just -- it's gotten to build pages that are fourteen from the easy. And especially so big that if you can keep yourself from parents called on programmers. We've exported to over absolutely nothing newspaper you're gonna ask her -- dot com support are -- support us by sporting."

" Welcome -- weeks freebie download -- ultimately I -- little fun aren't incredibly interesting things like. -- Grammar checking image and running in multi lingual support are great you're thinking of an entry problem but they're not so great if you're scripting news website or writing code -- Those extra characters word processors as the but at this we've touched on your document is just a tray of pain for any web designer code this past them. Lenient -- nice clean text editor that still have power and flexibility to get things done in a timely -- and notepad plus plus. Open source text editor with design recruiters and it's important syntax highlighting languages like CC sharp T plus plus html Java JavaScript Perl and PHP. -- hardcore enough you can find your own language syntax of using language you've -- systems that's not -- You also get auto complete and bookmarks split screen editing spell checker text editor at have a document in -- case FTP browser instant -- parents file formats including uniqueness. Can't -- stuff but you know why you're hiking whenever seven you want to at least make sure it got that right who have. If you can notepad file to try it it's -- it's gonna cost anything."

" Give -- your media center on your fabulous blank virtual lifestyle in the living room thing -- The -- ready for you know question. I do we have a question just about everything from Zack who wants that though what -- that a software he should yield on his Mac you just got an -- seeing it or what. -- thought that we'll watch movies and photos primarily however music playback would be good to. -- And a box is a fun little program and say it's pretty look at the people behind boxy basically want to replace front grow. Right which is a fine application for looking at pictures and movies."

" That's especially good on your Mac because you can use your Apple remote -- it also. And it you don't have that I -- to keep working is very handy wouldn't recommend using a mouse but that's beside the point boxing software is -- media center suite that not only lets you. View the content on your computer but also view recommendations from people online. And NASA has a whole social networking aspect to the advanced desktop -- paper you know I'd like that about my icons -- constitute you'd think. Anyhow. The colonies -- explains on the sofa and a good. I guess so you have a log in right here and there's mine mine mine -- look -- there and you can actually build your little profile on their website at -- dot TV sales contentious media software on and a two point I don't know about it and -- also. I think it's getting there. I really interface to use this is what you're confronted with when you first done. Open it up one thing I have to mention is that the product is still alcoholics accent -- if we hit some bugs don't be too surprised -- we should be okay."

" Health basically means it's not done yet but it's -- and it's fun to experiment with -- anyone who built it."

" Exactly now a log in screen like I showed you it is login with your password you can add multiple users -- going to accounts and log in screens have you got legs you know. Viewing your wife have different collections you can access -- that way that's very handy. The tough recommendations the first thing you come across. So here's my recommendation from Andrew. He recommends -- which is great great album and then below they can see your friends activity all the different media that your friends have been surfing. So apparently some of listening to on MTV unplugged by Bryan Adams this week you."

" the recently added is that something -- bad manners or this on the other people of that excess here."

" Recently added yeah this is all my music that I've recently had -- and it's funny what I listen to Alan Parsons project okay. And because the rules it's all by its solemn alphabetical there the most part. And then underneath -- your recently used to concede the different media that you've accessed recently so elegant couple photos and video what gets me and excellent daily. Cat pictures. The cat picture and so on and so forth. And then now if you want to go up to object them and you you can check out the video section. And now you have the option of viewing not only be content that is on your your computer but also stuff that streaming online who say if you want if you your videos on your on local drive. You can do that so let's go check out. Local videos. And you can pull -- your -- movie stuff you pretty much anything that doesn't have to hear him on it you can via the cat for you -- us. -- loaded up. There's any sound but this is -- little chance he's going kind of nights after flying. So yeah I didn't want to get out of the video you hit. Escape or back and it actually continues playing the video in the background so cool lets you look at -- high quality. Watch -- you can do I attend meeting HD video which is great so it looks just like it would on your home television."

" So basically and I -- local media. It's online media -- your friends making recommendations you -- your friends' feeds or what they've been playing recently cracked you can make recommendations. And it's absolutely free."

" Yeah what happens. What's the catch well -- DRM content works so anything that you purchase on the iTunes music store won't work anything you download on over music for example will work. Let me show you some of the Internet music stuff because it's pretty cool. So here you can see different channels from all different I was crisis watch -- so when exactly it and I kind of cool in you can stop it -- by -- space bar. If you don't want to keep primary display it plain background. The last out of them integration is one of my favorite parts. And in my profile here he's gonna want them last I I everything I've listened to his pretty much -- at this point attract everything even that isn't on my iPod gets properly be an intruder haiku. Work. You know. And more piracy but she will be lance right you can pull all your like most recent top albums and go through all of this and see everything there and it brings up. Most the time. Might be taken awhile because expert going over Wi-Fi here appropriately album art for the band you're looking. Keep you alive by exactly. Pictures -- another really cool it always goes into. Particular Internet pictures came we were talking pictures from Montreal. Right. And it doesn't it's well Ken burns he takes saying. If we hit if we hit plan saying. -- this crazy statues. And something that. That the but I say again. Purple. Its good that. See this is this is awesome air Canada on their flights from Montreal San Francisco powering US being what why doesn't every -- House I think this is a really really agree media center solution. It's great especially you can hook it up to your television it's kind of it's kind of thing where you need to be. Savvy enough to want to do that all the time not a lot of people do want to hook up that laptop or their PC to their television but my wife and it's again."

" Lost all remedial from Mac mini for like two years and has been very few TV yeah is actually 11 taught at which point what is currently --"

" No it's Mac analytics -- they just came out the -- release in the coming out with the windows release in very soon. And they're going into public beta by -- either late summer or early fall. Cool to be able to sign up now but actually. I think -- have a surprise for people later in the show I don't want to give it away yet. That'll be cool I think ultimately they're gonna want to be on set top boxes -- software that runs on your on your Comcast fox or something like that but. Right now it's on your PC and it's a lot of fun. Yeah I highly recommend you check it out and just come -- another cool thing is that it's based on XP -- which is open source project for -- media centers on your Xbox. So got and that whole vibe to it that's opens yeah this has a very fun interface and I think that especially combining this social media stuff with it. It's gonna -- take it to the next level over a lot of the other Internet streaming and downloading set top boxes that are out there with the web page. The -- pages boxy dot TV BO XE dot TV you. And that. I -- we have another question -- you have another question another video email Atlantis."

" To get away Eric. Yeah it's just quick question for you -- Skype call I would like to share some audio -- some audio through the Skype call. I'm not exactly sure how to do -- it's impossible you guys help me out thanks."

" Eric would like to know if it's possible to play audio through Skype calls that the person you're talking to -- here. That's possible it sure -- yeah anyway right."

" Yeah was actually something that they'd be careful about because sometimes -- this stereo mixer. You and your audio properties of it is turned on or -- determining whether it's like -- third party application or or the regular windows. Sounds I think you can actually had everything -- you gather which can be really embarrassing and you're seeing watching something naughty joy or happiness -- you're. Mom. That someone -- so what I know. So when I go here and tell the story though I'm not tell the -- you might find that they'll kill -- someplace cold dangers. In any case is definitely not Roger you can -- enabling the stereo -- record section of the department of windows. The is gonna sound like cried -- why even if it's coming from your computer and what's good for your computer. In disguise it. Through the Internet gets to your friends kind which."

" simply so -- like crap streaming Internet radio at this point who cares right yeah. I didn't -- spot at spending and pandora I mean do."

" Now that you know if you could you could have like the disco mix party going only talked about. It's you know not gonna it's gonna basically gonna be this sort of compressed squeezed streamline I don't know that it."

" Have to be possible because on our -- warcraft Ventrilo server. One of our guys actually does have a separate music count that he pipes in music so when we're reading stuff we have little soundtrack going on."

" there I mean there are whole bunch of third party applications some of which are actually still being actively maintained and sold out there so we'll put a couple links. The website OS-X and we haven't had as much -- what about that."

" Audio hijack pro. The year asked sound flowers I didn't identical road here."

" You know won't play around the audio hijack pro again I wasn't happy with what I did last time but I do logic probe hates me it's a little program it just doesn't like me."

" I have a lot of luck with that actually because I use that for podcasting. For taking on Tom's audio for certainly is there. -- Skype and into. I recorded all through audio hijack this it's expected that science fiction. Fantasy podcast -- just in the us the science podcast I was trying to say science fiction. Well anyway it's completely beyond them. But to me is audio hijack it takes sound from one source to another -- within your computer it kind of routes years sound card's stuff I think this."

" Its its -- you'll basically allows you to tap into the audio stream rented it makes. Hijacked the project pro -- And we'll put the links to those killings of on the web sites."

" In the subject line and narrowing attachments were not even look at that we look at got them immediately into the -- just gave me the hands and and then added incentive and I'll be giving away boxing invite the 25 people at random email us with video mail questions that follow the rules I just mentioned so don't besides send us your video emails you might -- yourself a box in bytes. Mood I told you out the super secret surprise then -- was -- this up but that's and get. Them. Now it's time to thank one of our sponsors yeah that's. What you think I'm gonna dot com and 99 point 9% up time 24 sevenths support and free access to hosting connection these placements -- thirty free applications try to help you get the most from your hosting and website. You're coming to GoDaddy for as little as 699. And ad free one year extension class and -- annual price -- fill out come makes transferring using opera's extras and -- I hate site -- complete emails total pianist central and much more. Offer little at six dollars. When you four plus and -- you that he came to when he checked out and seeing an additional five box office in order of thirty dollars. Some restrictions apply see St. for details get your. That's like it's time for another website we just can't get NASA wasn't that we can't stand in front because it's too useful yeah -- just irresistible today's tech. Get human dot com. I have to say this is probably vote crappy looking and also one of the most useful things we talked about on the show. Get -- you do just that figure out which combination of phone buttons we'll connect you to actual meaning meaning person to answer your questions. Despite the spam me looking front page is actually very easy to edit the company has fallen about your seeking to -- or -- it begins with -- hello. Not only we find the correct sequence used like hitting -- zero I'm just waiting you can also see the consumer ratings and customer service number. -- for the company brings you -- page read and rate your experience calling in on the help line and see that other people have written before you. Reading guidelines include was easily understandable. How long do. That for a few other little ad jams there. So -- the playing of -- game here on the phone customer service get human should be your first stop cleaning com. Our case -- your credit customer questions my friend I the next for help comes from James and the British -- threats. It's become quite clear that the government are teaming up with eyes peas in order to punish anyone caught using file sharing programs. What information can be discovered and the government can detect -- packets look at others find -- snooping around yeah credit pianist configuration and encryption having quite valuable in protecting yourself online."

" Shareware just start James."

" Take -- deep breath."

" Start having her. Paranoid thoughts and repair those can be incredibly legitimate actually James maybe a little less so in the UK then. So in China. And any place where people sharing information that is really like by the government to get them Kress that's."

" eating away from the moral importance of your ability to swap file using peer to peer let's let's make one big clear file sharing is not illegal. Using BitTorrent is not illegal however engaging the transfer copyrighted material without the owner's authorization. Is illegal at least."

" Here in the United States. So every good thing for all intents and purposes that like you said your under some kind of tyrannical regime right where you want to disseminate information to the public and you don't want the government tracking you anything illegal use of BitTorrent that you could do or like video out the government doing something wrong."

" Yeah or or it could be so many civil is wanting to browse for information on how to set up your bank account because you have an abusive husband you don't -- indicate it's not ahead -- When he finds -- you've been surfing web sites. To bring up an example from someone who who used to watch a show worked on in the past. If you stupid honestly there's a lot of stuff you can do -- anonymous browsers going someone else's website just going to public facilities. -- actually Tor project org is a great way I -- tracks from your online essentially uses the onion routing system and the idea is that you locked into poor. And it basically protect you from being sniff that what you're doing. Not gonna help you with your peer to peer before he weighs in fact I'm thinking Christians going to help you a lot. Because there's packet analysis basically the packets that particular monitor activity that I peace can look at that behavior your packets that actually being able to break the encryption on the packet to be. Basically be like. That looks like peer to peer activity while we problem. More importantly the whole point appeared appears bringing usually a bunch of strangers. Together to allow them to swap files which basically means eventually and arcs going to find their way in and blow the whistle on your activities. So. Lucky you you can use private you know peer to peer sharing networks you can. Get together much of friends and only you know meet in private areas in that we actually when you know the government keeps in the door and disappears you'll much simpler -- disappear -- embassy room once. If you want to talk about. Which is to -- its website who has forgotten. More about. It's a really cool let's say he's the guy actually came up with the recent basically X they basically. Opened up the fact there are some pretty girly things going on with the Whitney and this is currently configured. -- that was worth checking out. Period. But we'll talk about that on another show."

" Before we want to take a moment to thank our sponsor and the people that makes -- as a possible member without them you can't have your weekly Phillips asks. Time now for Netflix ultimately take a week this week flight of the navigator -- The -- of the navigators -- tale of a twelve pound boy David who was abducted by an alien -- its patents for instance the future. Do a freak accident -- loses its data banks and all the information necessary to get data back story it is and it isn't David then again. Adventure and crazy and that consuming vitamin navigator the perfect family -- some of the night. I don't didn't check out the other 89999. Kind of Netflix has to offer including -- meaning you're bound to find any -- you're looking for -- forty -- that is almost all delivery hasn't just one business day. And giving the place spring and Clinton started port dollars and 99 pence but it is excellent hearing you can get a free trial by sending it today and -- dot dot dot Netflix dot com slash Tekzilla."

" I can't -- any answers in my tech questions."

" I'm sure that's. Not like the worst imitation you ever heard your life so weird I'm sorry. Senate toaster on the Mac and I get my ass and they have a job Battlestar Galactica track and -- brand side on -- coast. Only one production run. If you into comic con and you have this but mr. How you can money for it so mom call me or more like. I want it out let's just been to the next person -- the -- therapeutic technology aid."

" Did the right thing guys have a question. It USO the most powerful PCI express went sixteen -- but current one only supports up to eat -- video goodness so -- with the motherboard went upgrade my processor Q and is there any way to replace having to reinstall my operating system -- explode the show keep up the good work I think he you know. They voted have a way to do this -- not actually work just swap out the parts to restart your machine what few things is going to happen. It's going to start in -- ago our panelists you hardware keeping the drivers please. That it didn't tracker black space when things going on because the operating system went into some sort of kernel panic of joy. And just refuses to reboot again and lets you swap -- auto parts so."

" Why this is important back up your files. To swap about Steve works theory makes you download all the drivers to a USB thunder -- to a disk before. You potentially disable the functionality about the -- and -- almost invariably that many parts of motherboard in the process going to have to re activate your what is installation. And of course is also be -- registry -- clear her drinking drivers are still there over the place and of course he got all your old software and just before the civil. Immediately. You might want to think we installing your operating system and another option is do you something like get PC mover lap link we'd love them. But you have to do it US coalition of the operating system first at a new partition on the -- from the operatives in the new. You know let trust us best thing to do you this is a wonderful opportunity. To give windows -- clean fresh start just. Teacher and light on tasks within an installation and just began reading community -- bit -- just sucks and basically what you're talking about doing is. Cramming a -- more stuff on top of the system -- probably could use a little bit of cleanliness."

" Makes it sound like you're opening but when clean sheets just fresh out of the dryer and -- bad for the first time cycling on -- I think we've seen the like but clean. Like. Trust me she speaks truth. One more question and England my question again I'd give us question comes from standard. It would have been empathy and you think eloquence I'd like names that -- Xavier yet. That's but it technical in many out. Exactly what options do it laptop owners have when it comes to keeping our cool despite moving -- called area I heard about something called -- tackling stance but how -- these function. -- Thumb while it won't be. MacBook pro yeah -- MacBook. But it by myself melting."

" It's alone."

" Yeah."

" The simplest and most effective thing you -- keep the -- that is to basically put a pen and pencil or. -- that gets an air in between about notebook and your cable."

" The air force will not help a lot with your lap. Yeah there's a few different options -- can actually purchase. That will protect your eyes to. -- you know earlier not only your eyes are gonna get hot -- that -- laptop on all day. I hadn't weasel my advanced. About the laptop cooling stand it can sit on your lap or on it cable and the single fan will help keep the temperature down and -- directly from the USB port on your laptop nice and -- about thirty dollars to. It's better than nothing."

" Yes -- of the process battery life has been in the -- but you can't kind of circular isn't it yes. What if you got that thing is like you know you can turn the power that it cannot run movies you can through the brightness down on -- kid like put your jacket on your lap and out of your notebook market you know."

" Well I wouldn't put it jacket and his of the jacket in sleep he even more sometimes I careless about."

" Writing my notebook that I do about not frying my body."

" Okay anyhow -- anti also has a series of notebook cooler isn't there a little more suited for laptops of all sizes last falcon one is kind of more for like fifteen inches in under. And the end tech one can handle like you know seventeen mention. But they'll kind of like overlap off the side of the thing. And that's to fans and it's a little more ventilated also sickened one."

" Not big about repurchasing these sort of radiator cooling fins are designed for. Basically of for like -- vehicles gap into something you can sort of put it just you know what it's frustrating -- get Blake. Muted is who have -- that -- like basically putting cooling fins and -- commission what you should feel that I'm system it's it's a strong possibility that it really cool you're like out -- like. You have to make it holding or something you had to -- like -- three inch high notebook."

Just started watching now, and re the Quebecois not speaking French: my french-speaking province mates speak a mish-mash of french and english (although mostly french) with an almost entirely different set of slang and expressions because they split apart from France almost 400 years ago and things have evolved differently.

Hope you had a good time in Montreal! It's too bad you didn't get "real" poutine, although it sounds like Casey doesn't really know real poutine :)

Also: Just say Saint in english not Sawn re: Saint Denis, good job on Denis though, that statue is awesome

Hardware upgrades in windows.

With MS Windows XP and prior windows versions, you can in most cases replace a cpu/motherboard, then reboot in the safe mode. Once you are in the safe mode you can update/install drivers as necessary. Reboot and all should be fine.. There is no need to reinstall a system from scratch unless it was hosed to begin with. Running a registry cleaner is a good idea though after loading all the new drivers. This has save me a boatload of time not have to re-install all my settings and setups. I had a client who did not have the original cd available and using a safe mode driver install saved the day. I have not tried this with messyvista though. We only use linux now.

Media Center

For those who don't have a Boxee invite, there is another XBMC based media center for mac called Plex (formerly OSXBMC). It also works with the Apple Remote. I have had some remote problems problems in the past, but haven't had any since the latest update. I use it on my Mac Mini and It plays every type of video and audio I throw at it (minus DRM).

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]Veronica want to know something scary.
Even though I have a fairly deep voice I can imitate that voice you did in the bloopers quite easy....I used to always scare my co workers with it till they banned me from using it.
no worries I just started doing one of many of my other character voices.

Fun to scare them like that.[/COLOR]:p

Dunno what's breaking smc on your MBP, but another one you can try is FanControl. I don't use either anymore since my 'Book mostly sits on an MStand (which I link to because they mentioned the Griffin one on the show, and this one matches Apple displays better for those of us who were dumb enough not to just buy the Dell LCD instead), but it looks like they've kept it updated, and it was basically the same thing.

Me too, but unfortunately I did it in 17th century New England, and was burned at the stake. I'm reasonably sure that actually happened.

Great Tekzilla episode! Just my two cents about keeping your lap/laptop cool. This may seem really cheap of me, but I find that when I'm sitting at my desk, using a kitchen cooling rack to place my laptop on helps a lot! I haven't tried it while sitting with the laptop in my lap, but I will.

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]I was always good at voices but that one I trained myself for since I was just 'dropping' shall we say since then I did it to talk to pets or annoy my dad with it.

eventually did it so much it became natural to just switch in and out of voices.[/COLOR]
