Does Blu-ray Help with Animated Films?

We'll cut to the chase: yes, absolutely blu-ray looks better than an upscaled dvd version. Upscaling is guessing what pixels are supposed to be there; nothing will beat having higher resolution source material. Check out the stills from the Alice in Wonderland to see how beautiful blu-ray can be.

Jaws on Blu-ray

Jaws has been released on blu-ray! Though we don't necessarily agree with the shark hate that this movie throws down, it is a classic. The best part of the new release is the bonus "in-depth look at the intricate process of restoring the movie."

Cloud Backup Benchmarks

Barry was kind enough to send in some benchmarks of how long it actually took to backup large amounts of data. It took him about 29 days to backup 2.5 TB. Our producer Roger Chang didn't have such great of luck. It took him over 6 weeks to backup 128GB because of throttling on the service's end.

Cheap Troubleshoot-Free Computer

Chris wants to setup a troubleshooting-free computer for one of his friends, similar to what Robert did for his dad last week. But he wants to do it for a whole lot less. Watch the segment for some ideas on cheap devices for non-techies and send in your own suggestions!

2-Factor Authentication Make Your Device Less Secure?

Ashley is worried that enabling 2-factor authentication on Gmail makes the account less secure because Google generates a 16 digit all lower-case password for each device. Wouldn't allowing uppercase and numbers be better? We squelch some of the fears and Patrick steals Roberts iPhone. Check it out.
