I'm in case you haven't were recorded as of Tuesday morning it's Friday when you're seeing you this may be everywhere we apologize you know this already. -- Today that they have undertaken a thorough review of their overall strategy for HDDVD and they decided they're no longer going to develop manufacture or market HD dvd players -- recorders. So they just -- the decision was made following recent major changes in the market. In case you Vista of course over the border. Maybe being paid but billion dollars by the memory group may be just decide their ability to dvd Netflix dropping HD dvd. Bad -- and probably -- dale around the edges of the company is Wal-Mart walking away from HD dvd so if you like the year when the million or billion or so people actually -- anything dvd drive or HDDVD. Standalone box basically if she bit marched done. Netflix. HDDVD done in the February this is a good thing for consumers right because -- know what to buy what yet now the ideas is that there's going to be a single format next generation. Yeah I was. I'm curious if this if you buy into the conspiracy period I've heard that says. Microsoft just wanted to prolong the war so that tunes. And that all be forced to use Microsoft's windows. -- McLaren. -- there. Can you buy and that its its a good little stretch even for Microsoft again for won't dastardly it's it's that it's a good at it maybe that was what motivated communities Blu-ray to spend money here who however Apple we don't know it's kind of agree your right that that there is gonna be single. Format I'm just not letting go like Battlestar Galactica HD dvds. Excellency the Blu-ray ones have anybody out there has been waiting to buying now's the time fresh out. Commend -- spending. And yes it's true HD format although I gotta say you might want to wait a little bit thicker going to try to hold the prices on the Blu-ray stuff for as long as possible now about it competitions I guess. What is this competition of course there's competition. Well speaking of market shifts all of his cell phone companies now offering 99 dollar unlimited plans that this has been -- is that it's an opponent gadget the much the other website its site ET TU rises break you Leo if occasion for them and T-Mobile. -- limited text messaging and an unlimited phone calls 400 bucks a month then brits got a weird thing in where it's like Philadelphia San Francisco Tampa. Want to see Minneapolis Paul is these are all sort of hubs -- and it apparently not I think it's of what this task -- 120 bucks for unlimited everything including Dina. I would love that that would be pretty slick as -- I would never have to worry I'm always worried like my over my text -- and I government. -- worry anymore have you ever had with the 900 dollar phone bill no I'm I'm usually -- minutes it's only the text messaging and I get a little worried about but let's have a lot of text messages since I got an iPhone that's all I do. It's all due respect message the only one to 300 a month. Yeah they can thinking climb that high end as prefer not to talk to people with that I'll talk together for me now."

" It's saying it's an interesting thing if you're shopper or whatever that's really interesting is a lot of these actually are month to month. So which is really SEC you don't it must be they can bank on this deal -- an Irish like union contracts have other public or like we're gonna nail your feet to the floor for two years in Japan that's a hundred bucks a month we'll let you go any time there's something to be learned there yeah profit margins. Baby out. The Apple TV update of course came out like two hours after we've finished the show last week at the whole what you can you actually you know the one feature really care about renting movies on the I Apple TV which just remote control HD movies aren't eight Steve mostly not a lot of HP movies that's kind of the the primary campaign -- have you seen who do box. I I I haven't really slick remote controls and basically it's a dedicated hard wired box no wireless connection. They get -- 5000 movies no we're just looking at all of -- CDs and I've not seen a lot of the C 123456. Sevenths is go back to the top. I can multiply the sentence pretty good 12345678910. And 1112. So seven has tennis that in the -- like under a hundred HD. Qualities. And they're not quite entered good but I gotta say they're not gonna be as good as the Blu-ray or that this would be disappearing from your local shells -- for our rental equipment every other online things and some pretty good TV stuff that there I think it sucks that. Apple requires you to use it to the Apple TV to get Ph.D. version of the movie you can't just cook up a computer and -- might. We got were some are so Steve he hooks up his Mac mini to his -- tediously -- and he wants to go down quality versions it's a little frustrated that -- would be nice. But you know I think what they're probably doing this is so UB CCD titles I think they're probably kind of this is a trial balloon they're floating and they're gonna see how does -- service to hammered and they. It is opening up to everybody RO the school I don't lot of people that are using Mac mini uses his home theatre PCS and would be really that it -- be nice things happen in there. You know that TV shows those. Actually. I usually get that they got the whole conjunction junction Colorado -- stuff there that's awesome and looks terrible control access quality and transfers but there's you know it's the Apple TV is an improvement yes if you rated movies that would have to consider about -- force me to drop the price which is really cool. Who still has the bigger selection."

" And a larger partner yes that's cool but it requires more. It actually -- in this case you know rent movies. Clusters movies -- Option as -- coming oh you know what they keep it if that the dollar 399 for this to be. You know for equities. Man system -- to rent direct -- you get the boot for the caller yes it. Go to BitTorrent we don't last week's show there was talk of USB turntable right kind of the response on. Lot of viewers wrote in about the recommendations and comments on similar products for Burton vinyl to digital music right. So personal comes from John and he writes. I did a quick check of available turntable you -- products and settled on our accessories USB phone plus which turned out. You want the best get purchases I've ever made very cool if you're gonna turntable and you don't want to deal with or any pre happening going to sound card that's a really cool device accidentally -- turntable to quit your machine.

What is the host -- the fact that final totally blows the sound quality compact disk away with the exception of each yes and dvd audio perhaps -- CD finals the best stamps any format period. Do I admit. And -- it I pretty much is spent half of more than half of my life listening disease but I went out and bought 180 -- crescent view that lets look. Serious that's his -- vinyl and I'll put together I didn't listen to it through my like cool guy audio files you know. Billion dollar pre -- that I inherited from somebody on the hook up the big stereo but so for listening through the 200 dollar headphones I'm not here a lot of music in here. That I don't hear on the CD's soon. And give that a shot that I'm I'm not quite behind into the whole. -- you're right because digital files are are stepped approximation of the actual analogue. And sound wave. But in kind of the promise of which would listen to you know miner but loved them but not exactly something that requires a lot of Alan you want there but -- lot subtleties of black I really correctly interpreted a digital media. While the last going it's from Adam who asked. Just wanted to ask you like -- direct reference tables over felt models in her problems that you -- system. With the rubble from the motor being directly transferred onto a platter and that being picked up by the stylus and is our children questions. I gotta say I've never heard rubble. Usually heard I was in the final of corporate rumble and I think the province's use. You know audio files it was all my Apple audio file lifestyle came -- After the -- the CD. And all of my turntable stuff that I know from people -- and turned it -- case that the use all doctorate director and it's true audio file turn tables are usually belt driven.

You can install drivers USB devices across the network so if you connecting a new printer or scanner there's no need to connect your machine directly first it's a nifty solution for so over small networks 130."

" but allows you to share a lot of stuff you'd at Belkin dot com. Now Patrick agreement recently received an you know monitors -- humor is very sad yes. He wrote my house was broken into three days ago and all my toys -- It's possible that sucks I've been runner and change the locks installing motion sensing floodlights gathering recipes for police and insurance companies and -- unique up receipts great progress Al has made it. Confidant I don't know this public you can get the receipt for that -- yeah yeah -- receipts for the police and insurance companies and lastly giving an alarm installed. In the meantime I have a web cams that the report motion as a home -- security system. -- state of the -- alarm systems that cost thousands of dollars I don't -- a cash. But you can but have to repurchase -- little toys. How about some home security suggestions. It's a -- Wrote that -- Los Angeles, California your neck of the woods yeah I don't know why anyone would everything's going LA or San Francisco or New York."

" Or New Jersey or that your is sure I act of somebody who's been either lightly burglarized totally cleaned out everywhere even in the small towns yeah. And one of the things that that I've been talked to beware -- is there's an entire class of scum bag fees that they steal your stuff. And and they wait -- bio stuff to replace it and then they steal all this stuff. Yeah is that that's like a layer scumbag agree that I just can't relate to meaningful level -- Tiger really get all the good stuff obviously you Yuri had to homeowners renters insurance. You've got documentation is is a great time -- digital camera basically. Take pictures of everything in your house you start your insurance agent you should basically release combined insurance spent a lot of time. Researching them and their policies and make sure there's not giant Google's -- in them. You know bridges insurance is especially in places like LA and San Francisco we have earthquakes and fires that burn things to the ground regularly here you know -- answer you're making me want to move. Every time I've seen the pictures of my neighborhood after the the quake that happened during the World Series -- yeah yeah. Scary stuff hey you know you're built on sand we're back actually it all goes loose what what it was in Jersey had a really great idea he's kind of evil. I -- began posting those -- the water when there's science and protected by joint expensive corporation. -- hit the alarm system but it bigger assigned might scare folks opt in it's amazing what you can -- at a flea market. Yeah so he's like -- a good landing you know it's not a bad idea right kids. Alarms are trivial if you plan -- relying on -- the university came out all -- yes it's been around sort of small distributions at September's laser shields against the security because security box. So they have the master warrant the price of 200 bucks a wireless unit and a couple of key chain devices. And so the legacy had master alarm unit which you either connect into you. It. An analogue phone line or that got a couple of cool devices like either connected to can GSM phone system or. That's based graphical sparrow which is an adaptor that allows you basically it's. Voice over IP adapters so if you like you and I don't actually have a phone line opposes your house -- use this. And so the idea is that you've got the central alarm you get one of these boxes. And it's of motion detecting its built in here and you need additional 65 dollars so you pop these in every room basically figure that every big copper. Two you have motion detectors. Covering your entrances to your house. You know not that concept is pretty its its pretty easy to install a particularly like they have of the cult and pat shield. So that like in my case -- my dog camp would -- it -- every fifteen minutes. So basically sort of you know channels it controls the -- and ideas it's pretty simple. These wireless wirelessly communicate to the main alarm if this gets tripped. Then it fires off -- have a pretty serious pretty professional 24 hour access service so fires off axis service and you get Calder people respond so it's just me yeah -- the front door again. You thought of him monthly fees for that twenty dollars a month now compared to -- basically talk about for like. For this plus additional fees there are additional you have to keep up there's no keypad basically happened Bob's and it's like this arm -- arm. I forget about the same time the panic that's kind of what my favorite thing about this is all of these have the big red -- your god help me please please button. Kind of you know if you paranoid in my neighborhood. It's actually getting more and more justified. If he's been done that too yes well that the at this time that I want the dog tags and we -- neighborhood the people issue. He -- people also got a second people and neither one of them had leases old boy who had booked until issues we don't have a small child -- yeah which he. So beloved change so quickly it quite as often but it's a pretty good concept. There isn't council -- Britain and us it's twenty dollars -- monthly dot TV expensive. A lot of good reviews on this. Was a really great guy -- to bias he does. Security reporting for gadget. And this is something he actually talked too late if you about. Andy if you basically have the right type of Motorola radius -- to the right frequency and you basically you know keep the button down to your transmitting so. And that. -- It will actually. Effectively block the -- basically the frequency that transmits from the remote units to the basic -- a packet. That's. You know there's a reason why isn't the super expensive systems kospi boxer what they're hard wired. You know people they can't cut your phone your cable lines the -- could potentially cut power of the house that and that's why there's always around everything this -- Determined enough. If if you're like you know if you have millions of dollars -- a trophy you know children and an expensive things you know you probably don't want to buy 200 dollar alarm system. If it's like you are being you know maybe got to cut you know some computer isn't -- yeah it would replacing your dvd that you and he's gonna hurt you. Then the idea here is that you know relationship Catholic look. You know there's a lot of people out there there there there seems like forty million households in the US. Could use protection but can't afford or renters we can't stone thing permanent if she can make it easy -- if somebody trips feel or. The alarm screams and they run out building so -- neighborhood crack addict you know drops your television -- breaking it but these -- you know your house to professional thieves are really good and if you're worth being case by professional people they see the little window sticker we're gonna be. Opera the Motorola off. But a lot of cases a lot of break into -- to them -- somebody kicking it or frame but again grabbing everything they plan and run back out. You know we I'd definitely recommend that -- this is something definitely consider if you haven't bought the alarm system obviously spoofable. But you know the ideas that you want something it's going to scream loud alert the family called cops and this will definitely do that its -- one of the least painful ways that proceed it says alarm system. I'll definitely check up in gadget -- you got links to show to -- the game is security specialists existence of greenhouses and he had a big competitor. Two leaders who analyzes and it actually pretty impressed with the -- put together a school so it is it is it hackable -- is it you know better than you know putting what those little like twelve dollar things you get from the relatively good going to be -- issue though is gonna until the right yes it's a definite step up there -- lasers I would say that leave. That one I don't. They're coming up to show a free way to burn CDs dvds on windows machine.

First you don't it was a brad and Germany Bratton writes this for a thousand dollars web surfing -- never talked to friends are getting recommendations from Microsoft for however often comes before. Source code but I don't really know what to do -- they have the code Talbott in fact. We're -- premier are reviews this wonderful piece of software brat brat that's this is a great question this is like a classic open source. Separate so win what's the source code where programmers write a program I'm obviously instead of Reading lots of ones and -- grow which tedious and tell me. They write in an intermediate language which basically makes human like statements turn into regular CC plus easy show us basic help Apple to -- whatever happened fast pass out portrayal. Of the so essentially it's a double the programmer to write these little bits of English like language at which point they'll send it to another computer programs shall turn it to all those ones there's no that's -- to compile. I took the basic computer class college so how -- it's like Dell what can -- run in the source -- through the -- in order to have a program usually if you're dealing with -- but yourself it's most likely going to be a unix or Macintosh had -- machine just because -- what time -- people -- just -- programs do whatever. It's executable exactly but if you want something's going to run a few platforms then you're gonna want to write in a way that's a little bit more portable and often you'll be called upon to make it -- yourself. As a sort of a standard compile you know you're running Ubuntu there's the compiler -- that should be using the world seems to love this GCC thing which is I -- didn't -- CD and Pilar. Which is mostly mixes have a these days there's a windows port of Sigmund. Oh six's pretty much based on it would you say something like the world seems the life. That's usually implies that you're thinking of something vastly better it'll be not necessarily vastly better but there's a lot of of of politics and and he did. Emotions going to the environment. To be I think handles licensing and what people use so the dubious he can't but -- that the true compiler be compiled and that B ST -- of which. She sees the city -- limitations. Also open up GCC to open source while neither of the source code that is until like open that it brokered mutates the application. Well usually hear your talking here in command line environment so if the person was doing their job right in the source code then it's as simple as typing -- slash configure which is this beautiful little script which says. Hey what kind of machine in my running on what kind of put things I have to worry about how much ram much whatever. And it'll decide what all the options that needs to actually run and make -- yourself and then I copy it to the appropriate folder what happens. So after you type configure that much just sets the framework together you run command -- make which is the one that actually goes and changes all of those are pieces of English like things back -- actual machine -- And that's brutal actually spit out an executable that you can copy to a folder -- but directory and actually run. So there are the usually alternatives to using source code -- always it maybe it's this medium medium does not really cool applications -- there's a lot by injuries. That the rate freeze for executable binary correct usually a binary and boundaries are usually I've written for specific version of the operating system and a specific machine. Most of the time if there's a binary -- to -- regular piece of hardware the packages and it's gonna everything. This is mostly the case -- it's either a lesser known he's a soft or or half a slightly different distribution over.

And disrespectful -- came out a couple of years ago I think it's one of those product that -- a little bit later than anybody expected to basically you can buy a four gigabyte memory stick and that's pretty much about the option. Just spent money in memory sticks and compressed with the Jesus movies. There's one guy can figure a way to take it was actually pretty slick. He bought an external hard drive case. That would also act as like a little mini web browser so he kind of connected that to the network off the hard drive case but it was a private quarters drives can be plugged -- all it's huge it's ridiculous it's not configured PSP case I would just spree that.

I'm in case you haven't were recorded as of Tuesday morning it's Friday when you're seeing you this may be everywhere we apologize you know this already. -- Today that they have undertaken a thorough review of their overall strategy for HDDVD and they decided they're no longer going to develop manufacture or market HD dvd players -- recorders. So they just -- the decision was made following recent major changes in the market. In case you Vista of course over the border. Maybe being paid but billion dollars by the memory group may be just decide their ability to dvd Netflix dropping HD dvd. Bad -- and probably -- dale around the edges of the company is Wal-Mart walking away from HD dvd so if you like the year when the million or billion or so people actually -- anything dvd drive or HDDVD. Standalone box basically if she bit marched done. Netflix. HDDVD done in the February this is a good thing for consumers right because -- know what to buy what yet now the ideas is that there's going to be a single format next generation. Yeah I was. I'm curious if this if you buy into the conspiracy period I've heard that says. Microsoft just wanted to prolong the war so that tunes. And that all be forced to use Microsoft's windows. -- McLaren. -- there. Can you buy and that its its a good little stretch even for Microsoft again for won't dastardly it's it's that it's a good at it maybe that was what motivated communities Blu-ray to spend money here who however Apple we don't know it's kind of agree your right that that there is gonna be single. Format I'm just not letting go like Battlestar Galactica HD dvds. Excellency the Blu-ray ones have anybody out there has been waiting to buying now's the time fresh out. Commend -- spending. And yes it's true HD format although I gotta say you might want to wait a little bit thicker going to try to hold the prices on the Blu-ray stuff for as long as possible now about it competitions I guess. What is this competition of course there's competition. Well speaking of market shifts all of his cell phone companies now offering 99 dollar unlimited plans that this has been -- is that it's an opponent gadget the much the other website its site ET TU rises break you Leo if occasion for them and T-Mobile. -- limited text messaging and an unlimited phone calls 400 bucks a month then brits got a weird thing in where it's like Philadelphia San Francisco Tampa. Want to see Minneapolis Paul is these are all sort of hubs -- and it apparently not I think it's of what this task -- 120 bucks for unlimited everything including Dina. I would love that that would be pretty slick as -- I would never have to worry I'm always worried like my over my text -- and I government. -- worry anymore have you ever had with the 900 dollar phone bill no I'm I'm usually -- minutes it's only the text messaging and I get a little worried about but let's have a lot of text messages since I got an iPhone that's all I do. It's all due respect message the only one to 300 a month. Yeah they can thinking climb that high end as prefer not to talk to people with that I'll talk together for me now."

" It's saying it's an interesting thing if you're shopper or whatever that's really interesting is a lot of these actually are month to month. So which is really SEC you don't it must be they can bank on this deal -- an Irish like union contracts have other public or like we're gonna nail your feet to the floor for two years in Japan that's a hundred bucks a month we'll let you go any time there's something to be learned there yeah profit margins. Baby out. The Apple TV update of course came out like two hours after we've finished the show last week at the whole what you can you actually you know the one feature really care about renting movies on the I Apple TV which just remote control HD movies aren't eight Steve mostly not a lot of HP movies that's kind of the the primary campaign -- have you seen who do box. I I I haven't really slick remote controls and basically it's a dedicated hard wired box no wireless connection. They get -- 5000 movies no we're just looking at all of -- CDs and I've not seen a lot of the C 123456. Sevenths is go back to the top. I can multiply the sentence pretty good 12345678910. And 1112. So seven has tennis that in the -- like under a hundred HD. Qualities. And they're not quite entered good but I gotta say they're not gonna be as good as the Blu-ray or that this would be disappearing from your local shells -- for our rental equipment every other online things and some pretty good TV stuff that there I think it sucks that. Apple requires you to use it to the Apple TV to get Ph.D. version of the movie you can't just cook up a computer and -- might. We got were some are so Steve he hooks up his Mac mini to his -- tediously -- and he wants to go down quality versions it's a little frustrated that -- would be nice. But you know I think what they're probably doing this is so UB CCD titles I think they're probably kind of this is a trial balloon they're floating and they're gonna see how does -- service to hammered and they. It is opening up to everybody RO the school I don't lot of people that are using Mac mini uses his home theatre PCS and would be really that it -- be nice things happen in there. You know that TV shows those. Actually. I usually get that they got the whole conjunction junction Colorado -- stuff there that's awesome and looks terrible control access quality and transfers but there's you know it's the Apple TV is an improvement yes if you rated movies that would have to consider about -- force me to drop the price which is really cool. Who still has the bigger selection."

" And a larger partner yes that's cool but it requires more. It actually -- in this case you know rent movies. Clusters movies -- Option as -- coming oh you know what they keep it if that the dollar 399 for this to be. You know for equities.

Lot of viewers wrote in about the recommendations and comments on similar products for Burton vinyl to digital music right. So personal comes from John and he writes. I did a quick check of available turntable you -- products and settled on our accessories USB phone plus which turned out. You want the best get purchases I've ever made very cool if you're gonna turntable and you don't want to deal with or any pre happening going to sound card that's a really cool device accidentally -- turntable to quit your machine. And your rights and with a lot of capitals. What is the host -- the fact that final totally blows the sound quality compact disk away with the exception of each yes and dvd audio perhaps -- CD finals the best stamps any format period. Do I admit. And -- it I pretty much is spent half of more than half of my life listening disease but I went out and bought 180 -- crescent view that lets look. Serious that's his -- vinyl and I'll put together I didn't listen to it through my like cool guy audio files you know. Billion dollar pre -- that I inherited from somebody on the hook up the big stereo but so for listening through the 200 dollar headphones I'm not here a lot of music in here. That I don't hear on the CD's soon. And give that a shot that I'm I'm not quite behind into the whole. -- you're right because digital files are are stepped approximation of the actual analogue. And sound wave. But in kind of the promise of which would listen to you know miner but loved them but not exactly something that requires a lot of Alan you want there but -- lot subtleties of black I really correctly interpreted a digital media. While the last going it's from Adam who asked. Just wanted to ask you like -- direct reference tables over felt models in her problems that you -- system. With the rubble from the motor being directly transferred onto a platter and that being picked up by the stylus and is our children questions. I gotta say I've never heard rubble. Usually heard I was in the final of corporate rumble and I think the province's use. You know audio files it was all my Apple audio file lifestyle came -- After the -- the CD. And all of my turntable stuff that I know from people -- and turned it -- case that the use all doctorate director and it's true audio file turn tables are usually belt driven. Girls are usually a theory theory had its its its Q. So -- equipment in outstanding points and the importance in the war. Yeah -- comments -- questions the show and remember if you want to get something after Chester you're just gonna show us on the cool you know patent game at Tekzilla attribution dot com."

" Who is able to thank one of our sponsors of the fine folks that pay the bills for us -- local store has up it's free speech -- a deliberate steady supply of newly released Blu-ray titles and of course dvd titles and soon to be no longer HD dvd titles Netflix isn't available -- that on behalf of the -- the classic titles -- titles -- titles.

It's free trial at Netflix dot com slash Tekzilla and I also actually. Health Oscar goodies for our sponsors. Your screen shots of your movie to a dvds do us a favor. Yeah Netflix and track.

" And or storage device across a network but you don't want to spend the money on new hardware like print servers routers and devices. You should give Balkans network USB how to try this little box with use almost any USB device across network -- printers scanners storage device or even a web cam. All you do is plug it into -- outlets. And -- to your home network you cover your browser to access the hundred need to resolve on the client software which basically requires a machine running Vista windows XP or OS-X point four. Once installed client interface going to indicate what devices are available and which are currently disconnected her being used by someone else on the network so basically if -- the web -- somebody else on the network can't. It need to access device currently being used selected in the client interface and right click and then click request. The person on the other end is gonna get a message asking that -- other person's access and disconnect them but that device so you can find the print. You can install drivers USB devices across the network so if you connecting a new printer or scanner there's no need to connect your machine directly first it's a nifty solution for so over small networks 130."

" but allows you to share a lot of stuff you'd at Belkin dot com. Now Patrick agreement recently received an you know monitors -- humor is very sad yes. He wrote my house was broken into three days ago and all my toys -- It's possible that sucks I've been runner and change the locks installing motion sensing floodlights gathering recipes for police and insurance companies and -- unique up receipts great progress Al has made it. Confidant I don't know this public you can get the receipt for that -- yeah yeah -- receipts for the police and insurance companies and lastly giving an alarm installed. In the meantime I have a web cams that the report motion as a home -- security system. -- state of the -- alarm systems that cost thousands of dollars I don't -- a cash. But you can but have to repurchase -- little toys. How about some home security suggestions. It's a -- Wrote that -- Los Angeles, California your neck of the woods yeah I don't know why anyone would everything's going LA or San Francisco or New York."

" Or New Jersey or that your is sure I act of somebody who's been either lightly burglarized totally cleaned out everywhere even in the small towns yeah. And one of the things that that I've been talked to beware -- is there's an entire class of scum bag fees that they steal your stuff. And and they wait -- bio stuff to replace it and then they steal all this stuff. Yeah is that that's like a layer scumbag agree that I just can't relate to meaningful level -- Tiger really get all the good stuff obviously you Yuri had to homeowners renters insurance. You've got documentation is is a great time -- digital camera basically. Take pictures of everything in your house you start your insurance agent you should basically release combined insurance spent a lot of time. Researching them and their policies and make sure there's not giant Google's -- in them. You know bridges insurance is especially in places like LA and San Francisco we have earthquakes and fires that burn things to the ground regularly here you know -- answer you're making me want to move. Every time I've seen the pictures of my neighborhood after the the quake that happened during the World Series -- yeah yeah. Scary stuff hey you know you're built on sand we're back actually it all goes loose what what it was in Jersey had a really great idea he's kind of evil. I -- began posting those -- the water when there's science and protected by joint expensive corporation. -- hit the alarm system but it bigger assigned might scare folks opt in it's amazing what you can -- at a flea market. Yeah so he's like -- a good landing you know it's not a bad idea right kids. Alarms are trivial if you plan -- relying on -- the university came out all -- yes it's been around sort of small distributions at September's laser shields against the security because security box. So they have the master warrant the price of 200 bucks a wireless unit and a couple of key chain devices. And so the legacy had master alarm unit which you either connect into you. It. An analogue phone line or that got a couple of cool devices like either connected to can GSM phone system or. That's based graphical sparrow which is an adaptor that allows you basically it's. Voice over IP adapters so if you like you and I don't actually have a phone line opposes your house -- use this. And so the idea is that you've got the central alarm you get one of these boxes. And it's of motion detecting its built in here and you need additional 65 dollars so you pop these in every room basically figure that every big copper. Two you have motion detectors. Covering your entrances to your house. You know not that concept is pretty its its pretty easy to install a particularly like they have of the cult and pat shield. So that like in my case -- my dog camp would -- it -- every fifteen minutes. So basically sort of you know channels it controls the -- and ideas it's pretty simple. These wireless wirelessly communicate to the main alarm if this gets tripped. Then it fires off -- have a pretty serious pretty professional 24 hour access service so fires off axis service and you get Calder people respond so it's just me yeah -- the front door again. You thought of him monthly fees for that twenty dollars a month now compared to -- basically talk about for like. For this plus additional fees there are additional you have to keep up there's no keypad basically happened Bob's and it's like this arm -- arm. I forget about the same time the panic that's kind of what my favorite thing about this is all of these have the big red -- your god help me please please button. Kind of you know if you paranoid in my neighborhood. It's actually getting more and more justified. If he's been done that too yes well that the at this time that I want the dog tags and we -- neighborhood the people issue. He -- people also got a second people and neither one of them had leases old boy who had booked until issues we don't have a small child -- yeah which he. So beloved change so quickly it quite as often but it's a pretty good concept. There isn't council -- Britain and us it's twenty dollars -- monthly dot TV expensive. A lot of good reviews on this. Was a really great guy -- to bias he does. Security reporting for gadget. And this is something he actually talked too late if you about. Andy if you basically have the right type of Motorola radius -- to the right frequency and you basically you know keep the button down to your transmitting so. And that. -- It will actually. Effectively block the -- basically the frequency that transmits from the remote units to the basic -- a packet. That's. You know there's a reason why isn't the super expensive systems kospi boxer what they're hard wired. You know people they can't cut your phone your cable lines the -- could potentially cut power of the house that and that's why there's always around everything this -- Determined enough. If if you're like you know if you have millions of dollars -- a trophy you know children and an expensive things you know you probably don't want to buy 200 dollar alarm system. If it's like you are being you know maybe got to cut you know some computer isn't -- yeah it would replacing your dvd that you and he's gonna hurt you. Then the idea here is that you know relationship Catholic look. You know there's a lot of people out there there there there seems like forty million households in the US. Could use protection but can't afford or renters we can't stone thing permanent if she can make it easy -- if somebody trips feel or. The alarm screams and they run out building so -- neighborhood crack addict you know drops your television -- breaking it but these -- you know your house to professional thieves are really good and if you're worth being case by professional people they see the little window sticker we're gonna be. Opera the Motorola off. But a lot of cases a lot of break into -- to them -- somebody kicking it or frame but again grabbing everything they plan and run back out. You know we I'd definitely recommend that -- this is something definitely consider if you haven't bought the alarm system obviously spoofable. But you know the ideas that you want something it's going to scream loud alert the family called cops and this will definitely do that its -- one of the least painful ways that proceed it says alarm system. I'll definitely check up in gadget -- you got links to show to -- the game is security specialists existence of greenhouses and he had a big competitor. Two leaders who analyzes and it actually pretty impressed with the -- put together a school so it is it is it hackable -- is it you know better than you know putting what those little like twelve dollar things you get from the relatively good going to be -- issue though is gonna until the right yes it's a definite step up there -- lasers I would say that leave. That one I don't. They're coming up to show a free way to burn CDs dvds on windows machine.

First you don't it was a brad and Germany Bratton writes this for a thousand dollars web surfing -- never talked to friends are getting recommendations from Microsoft for however often comes before. Source code but I don't really know what to do -- they have the code Talbott in fact. We're -- premier are reviews this wonderful piece of software brat brat that's this is a great question this is like a classic open source. Separate so win what's the source code where programmers write a program I'm obviously instead of Reading lots of ones and -- grow which tedious and tell me. They write in an intermediate language which basically makes human like statements turn into regular CC plus easy show us basic help Apple to -- whatever happened fast pass out portrayal. Of the so essentially it's a double the programmer to write these little bits of English like language at which point they'll send it to another computer programs shall turn it to all those ones there's no that's -- to compile. I took the basic computer class college so how -- it's like Dell what can -- run in the source -- through the -- in order to have a program usually if you're dealing with -- but yourself it's most likely going to be a unix or Macintosh had -- machine just because -- what time -- people -- just -- programs do whatever. It's executable exactly but if you want something's going to run a few platforms then you're gonna want to write in a way that's a little bit more portable and often you'll be called upon to make it -- yourself. As a sort of a standard compile you know you're running Ubuntu there's the compiler -- that should be using the world seems to love this GCC thing which is I -- didn't -- CD and Pilar. Which is mostly mixes have a these days there's a windows port of Sigmund. Oh six's pretty much based on it would you say something like the world seems the life. That's usually implies that you're thinking of something vastly better it'll be not necessarily vastly better but there's a lot of of of politics and and he did. Emotions going to the environment. To be I think handles licensing and what people use so the dubious he can't but -- that the true compiler be compiled and that B ST -- of which. She sees the city -- limitations. Also open up GCC to open source while neither of the source code that is until like open that it brokered mutates the application. Well usually hear your talking here in command line environment so if the person was doing their job right in the source code then it's as simple as typing -- slash configure which is this beautiful little script which says.
