Forgot to backup your iTunes library before wiping out your hard drive? Not a problem! Patrick and Robert have some free software for Windows, Mac, and Linux to get your content off of your iOS devices. Also read up on the Lifehacker article with all of the great info.
Brian sent a video question as part of our Backpack Giveaway. He wanted to know what tips we had for for the best playback for his Zotac HTPC and if a Broadcom hardware decoder would benefit the device. In this case, his graphics card is plenty powerful. Robert walks through some software options that can be enabled to take advantage of your hardware fully.
Stacy wrote in asking about differences in the WallTenna and Leaf Antenna . Robert points to this HDTV Magazine article that did an awesome antenna shootout. Also take a look at this DIY antenna that uses a 2x4 and some coat hangers.
David wants to make some how-to videos on Mac and PC computers. Our absolute favorite recording software is Screenflow, but the $99 might be a bit steep for some individuals (watch the demo with Mark Watson here). We also have some free and cross-platform solutions that might be exactly what you're looking for. Screencast-O-Matic is Java based and gives you tons of recording and output options. Screenr is sleek and sexy but doesn't have quite the same control. VLC can be used to record the Windows desktop and good old FFMPEG can capture and transcode on Linux.
In response to last week's question about mousing surfaces, Jay sent us this link of a mouse that works on glass. These things use 'Darkfield Laser Tracking'...very fancy. We also failed to mention trackball mice as alternatives.
Most job descriptions require a bachelors degree just to get through the door. But what if you have the skills but not the degree? It basically boils down to lots of networking. Watch the segment for our tips on getting a job in the industry.
We've heard mixed results from graduates of ITT Technical Institute. We've heard figures of $400-600 per unit which is pretty high. Try a community or state college, but your milage may vary.
