" Wow. This episode Tekzilla sponsored by lowering tonic the United States airports and GoDaddy got cop coming up when they showed DirecTV -- how not to get supposedly provided cheap PC and the usual stack a viewer questions and killed -- shifted to neutral and coast of accounts. 'cause it -- starts now. The Tekzilla Patrick Norton I'm gonna leave brightest traveling per day job to your damn I had no idea council gaming was so popular -- we asked her good friend and executive editor of one up dot com Garnett Lee. To stop in and help us out of course Patrick you know lawyers let it be here for you guys -- I'm glad you're here I'm Sarah couldn't -- in Amsterdam -- front improperly to Amsterdam was that it wasn't sticking out kill -- two that's pretty awesome stuff you know the -- like the era of the shooters right now for holiday season so there's pointed out right. Wasn't -- what's going on like the middle of October 2 to the end of November there's like 275000. -- releases itself."

" On the gaming scene before you know this happens every year we get a bunch of games in the fall actually becoming a little earlier because -- it was a realizes the got to get them out early enough that they can start selling them into stores. And so you guys can run by camino what happens is because starts hitting people start talking about it we start playing long lines in disease. All all built up -- It's also manipulate us stipulate sales we have -- question were excellent asked about the new Xbox 360. So we get into acting coming in Britain let's talk experience awesome if you if you check out right now. Also okay so if you've seen you've seen it yet to sixty personal. I have access to through -- that flat the flat interface with the -- to slide back and forth kind of you know it's very functional it's not exactly it was beautiful thing in the world well. When you switch to the new experience -- has gotten to on these avatars they have and they're like they're like the mean people and I don't know the next. What's cool about this new interface is that it's very easy to navigate through he uses same sort of ideally like you know functionally is the PS3 interface where it's across bar rule that the I've known you for a few years. This person or hurt you or anybody else or for TV PS3'S. Interface as functional. -- functionality and dismissed -- it is actually functionally no I don't really love -- that much but you have to admit that if you're using the big device -- a controller with sticks not a keyboard not a mouse but with sticks in your manipulating on -- he's been having to taxis that you're going across is actually the right way to do it right yeah -- by the if it's used in a bunch of other devices -- media center right Newton and because it works okay. Right so -- and so they've kind of done that they -- breathing space -- panels that you flipping through vertically and then than they receive off in the three dimensional space you can flip through them that way because that is -- the -- were a lot more functional than the basic PS theory as -- to suit which content that they put into the system. But he didn't anticipate originally that they become overloaded. So what happens is -- for a good idea right you can go to palladium -- sixteenth of an instance to -- thousand of them will we keep on a liberal down further further further into what happened was we're selecting to a lot of menus on the individual blades as opposed to just moving through continent. And that's really its conclusion when you're not using a point by you know with a mouse Ricans point and select want to pick out the about it it's easy. When you're flipping through with sticks. Click click with a quick look at -- exactly okay with them exactly so it works a lot better now they've also got -- easier system for managing your game's appearance of security here's works you know it'll pull yours or two. Flip through the panels are able to see the content you can get the game was that it won't be like oh have to go into the store and look at here's where to in the fundamentally this content is you go to the game. You put the next panel that -- you down you can get to your friends -- map packet just go there ballot but whatever so you're excited yeah and Netflix immigration. Streaming Netflix I like that which is sort of playing -- I just -- Netflix had movies. No matter what district that is -- I just wish they had movies on. Period -- you know what I don't think it from me it's not a movie service it's a catch up on TV service so it's like using it sort of Wikipedia are right because. I -- of seasons of office on it. And in the interface is great because it actually going to machines which episodes I want. And I can I can stop watching whenever I want to pick right back where it left off and equality caiso I have 3000 down 1500 DSL. I'm not getting HD. You know HD is rumored to be hitting with the new with the new update and we've seen it actually in the office suite of T three we get HD -- But when it assesses my mind up in with the gives me near HDM it's gonna be true widescreen. -- you -- it looks it looks but this. I will willingly admit that mine. My DirecTV set up at home is still oppose these -- spy activities it's at all I don't displays the right adult school as counsel. But but it still looks better than that so it looks better than upscale -- it -- on that renders an expert thousand are at what -- think of dead space. And more specifically what it can grab it puts its base the -- of that -- without of the gravity -- is a function of the video game dead space also actually the coolest part of that space is the open. Reading combat when you're in zero gravity so the -- it's a pretty cool they like to bounce around but I of them have a feeling this is a loaded question. Rogers like you can actually use -- program he used to be just an upset the system we're we basically built magnetic boots for. For -- called my cohost of the musical in the walk -- there instantly and it worked. Wolves so Arabia so. To -- just check out system I totally boots you've well. -- By the way guys it didn't work so and upload your leadership promotion and obviously didn't work we already know payola. Though that we we have him upside down moving around and -- but how many how many trips to general. Zero O Cleveland but it could do so let's see my voters are spotted gymnastics. All right enough of my gratuitous -- promotions actually answer some questions let's -- our our first email comes from -- who has a problem his wife and two toddlers -- that you write to me that my wife and two toddlers can't put CDs and dvds back in their cases so you can be ripping all the dvds for the iPhone Apple TV on looking for an app that will find the cover art. That is available on iTunes. If it found movie cover art that would be worth the major test for me I'm on a Mac any ideas. A blank album like finding album art cover art is like the entire subcategory Lifehacker. And it's got an excellent article actually we're gonna have on the show -- right there's like fifteen articles there but there's one that collects all of them where he would like that are really -- the the really good job it has all the list on the bottom all the links and apparently he hasn't."

" Future time if you if you -- to Lifehacker the Lifehacker eats meat easy -- backup. I -- with -- media but it's a windows application only until this fall it probably doesn't -- dvds in any chance of player of that. And can be a little flaky things like soundtrack and collections where the lots of different artists someone outlook. I mean to pick as a like a girl who just one small per tune up which will give you concert listings -- clean up bad metadata stuff like that. You can check out media monkey but it gets a windows application could act as a great job dealing with the meta -- if -- MP3 should dvds that you ripped. But it's also lead is only. It is late you can try any album cover finder on the Mac might work album art thing he one point nine might work is about I've used all of these four CD covers. But for dvds it's a little different."

" Yeah on dvd covers some out of legal little little now and I'm a music guy so I -- the argument primarily the one that Rogers showed us MP3 -- an indication that works great because it cleans up your -- that data it lets you customize any of the fields as you want to -- if you multiple sources including like Amazon and and and and another cover art source to get to cover and it embeds it of the tax."

" I mean opt -- like. I think of just over. Five or 600 out to them basically digitize in my entire CD collection insert Iraq for albums done again again it's a long story -- Could see it always has the country yeah let's just get past that Barbara I can't answer the everytime I try automated tool I end up getting annoyed and going back to the classics doing it manually right clicking and dragging. All CD covers dot com Amazon.com CD covers that CC and of course isn't cooling. For the name of the album because. Even like that you know iTunes is a pretty good job you know you do you signing your your your account and that's pretty gentle funny ousted at all -- always completely these weird like advertising agency. Haven't heard it look at it at all for me -- not gotten good album cover or all of I'll Mikey has an effect I find that this is a lot of them and he does this alarm but it's like how do not know this I've -- the meta tags -- there everything's there why do you not want to particles also really frustrating is if you got like a classic album right and for some reason it gives you like. I don't know V three and wind doesn't value the twentieth century artists packed instead of -- original album cover -- don't want to get covered. -- I guess and we were both past and there's third party programs that work of key I still think you're probably in and -- Google search in and manually I just think that the best results are gonna be if you actually manually search system just what you want to use -- Right to make you MP threes you wanted to searchers to yourself and put it what you want. It will be better in the long run you'll be happier -- were to buy it's actually like 45 pixel -- 45 pixel image image he could tell that an example that was on the application and you look and you look -- going to pull you deploy your player to be like. -- It'll look you don't about the Leo let's put our guys album art for all we you know we should talk about is actually how to integrate your album art we through MP3 files so that no matter where you drag -- to. No matter what application that's the one that's why easily protect because it's actually tag program. And Soviet -- just simply part of the tagging so it's actually it's built -- all it into the type -- I got here I like it it's simple might might home theater machine at home -- weeping softly because it's gonna be running yet another application. Very lightweight. And -- integrity. I'll like it. --"

" You got the one -- thing that the media is there you're pretty big on giving basically -- videos and putting them up on the Internet Superman I mean everybody wants to see the latest games especially especially -- they'll look at ray and visible sort of sub culture outlook what I did this video camera equipment in that video game user -- glitches. All kind of stuff you -- game videos that's where are you ready for questions from -- He's in Ireland. It is interested doing a video game show rights and what is easiest way captured team play MP yesteryear and Xbox 360 for uploading the video and HD. He also wants to know we can -- how to one home we're -- PSP and get the latest five point oh firmware for the PSP is compatible with home brew. Okay do when did you home rule or -- to capture the key capture first okay because the whole Britney -- a long answer but care and what you want on the capture card has recently got a black magic design -- product called intensity. And I understand you guys that look at this thing before. -- Ever I don't know why logo logo that's the last I was a sense of local local life biggest hit I've been waiting for another. You know sequel coming it's coming okay you're in good shape. Home -- a whole other subject and we could do textile like for the entire show about numbers -- let me boil down to this. Couple things first of all you're gonna have to go to a non official firmware. And there's a process beginning that blasted if you check out the website for dark Alex -- the PSP Wiki they have a long have instructions which you're gonna need a couple things personally gonna have to buy a special batteries called pandora battery or there's actually an important public will battery. And -- base that's the one that allows you to start spots with the firm right what it does it lets you put the PSPs and to servicemen. And what -- service mode you have to take B memory stick. And -- that I'm European and load software onto it and you have to -- in the process of flashing your PSP you know you've got a new firmware on the -- he would throw her what does that do for a more allow me to do it sounds so exciting that I can I trust uphill all the school in the -- both ways to put an important calling the main reason a lot of -- this new firmware is that one of the developer things that Sony did was enabled -- ability to play PS one games PSP right. They did it proprietary at least to play Sega and playstation online store you could get these games and out like eight dollars or redeployment if people were like we'll pay. They figured out how to run these games on here there must be some code underneath the -- that works out that that let them do that right but I pay for these games a second or third time when I -- access my early collection -- some online social hurt hopefully called ISO buster I'm wondering what it's all about SpinRite ISO buster is basically a program lets you. Rip the code off of PS one disk. And and most you have to the original disks that dog just adds like it -- like I I love the fact that -- We go through all this works like play like Nintendo 64 PS and really -- a little quick final -- separate interviews want to be able to play whatever PS PSP any PS one game to be able play PSP. There's also -- community looked on emulator through different platforms people who are doing like literally ground original games for the PSP -- cool. So that it's gonna allow you to be able to run. Coat also play PS one games and it was supposed to for the -- like video but I think if you don't have the video but. Is it really worth to him and I guess the question to ask it's cool seems also Wii home brew scene. And very Leo. No he's dealing if you want to geek out definitely do it there's no real way to damage or think you can always just put the new firmware back on can you can you brick your yes be. Reflection from him an opportunity to Britain -- you definitely is is it likely is in ways that slightly and a -- Apple and you know do firmware that detects and turns your. I don't think like that because what happens is when you flash to the new firmware and your operating outside Sony's purview anyway and so unless you go back to the Sony official firmware on the home -- software all right so if you you'll so it'll play PSP games. --"

" Cool."

" Double -- he had this I get a -- this one of the more obscure question dialogue with it was pretty we have BC you know pulling at the sympathy for Baghdad with the BB in the time killing it if I'm following along here Alexander were Vegas his dad wants to play PC games. On an old power Mac G four over a networks and -- I didn't do what he wants to take the G four and somehow network into the PC."

" Both you can try mean if it's if you're talking about time killer type game sudoku -- or stuff that is like three if bringing video games and you're done you've seen that Casey gets 3-D games. We shooters and simply that it's time attracting a fleecing sacked for Alexander and it's based here remove the XP box upstairs. He -- try remote desktop connection client for Mac. Which I think your Mac is near enough to actually have support and that he's gonna need windows XP pro or windows XP media center edition UK connectivity options. I mean there's there's a bunch opting in you -- go to my -- cedars there's forty resilient programs allow you to tunnel in and access the desktop honest."

" RC four I I have -- okay wanna spy couple older games that we're an -- form blizzards. You can play diablo and -- he could play a start -- going to America act I have star craft loaded up on an old -- or laptop that's exactly like what he's talking about and I actually played a lot when I'm alone because response it's a great game. That's -- it's aged very well and it runs in the Mac native so you don't have to remind me."

" That would be good thing because you could try -- emulator or you know basically which is gonna -- regulators critical to later -- X or windows on the G four Mac who need it senate windows -- this -- free. This for us and -- virtual PC but it's not gonna run any -- applications -- probably -- of applications good idea or removing the XP box upstairs to work or play your -- announcer wouldn't want to learn you know. But he wants to put it could be because they're happy together with -- I understand we like people being you divide in the keyboards totally cool. Scheduled to excellent -- eclectic eclectic so.

" It seems you've seen an increase in the poor folks with PC gaming questions. You mean like -- and easy to write dozens I'm on spending three older 4000 ultimate gaming PC and was wondering. Which is the best bang for my buck. I don't write 3004000 dollars that's a lot of gaming PC the whole Lotta I think he's gaming PC and NE CTV and surround kind of system look to other residents question about it when we get to -- because I think what do transitory as Sony has been near a much money but he says. I -- Dell owns Alienware but I'm wondering if I get any benefit from going with either company if there's a third or fourth better PC gaming site option and then I think -- In Washington DC. Are -- positive hit a good point Dell has its own gaming line the XPS 63730. And also oh what's right -- and where the second important place else. XP 630 and and we have no connections to tell X 630 is an amazing bargain for the book I don't think you could. I really could buy from Linksys imply right. Or knew it to pieces and build a computer it would be what do you think close it -- it it's really and it's it's really really hard to buy your own parks and the older machine four lessons on the like Dell or HP -- heat -- or. Anybody who is by thinking well huge volume -- end I don't know I don't know if you're going super high and you are going to save some money when you start assembling -- himself but I don't I don't think -- you know unless you're really into like bragging rights -- bragging -- you want to build your -- hot -- Yes three of 4000 machines what -- thing --"

" much of boutique vendors you know Alienware is the one that was bought by Dell and in the performance difference. Parks are parks these days some number tweaks some of them are tweaked by the manufacturers is great voodoo PC which is balk at eight. But once you once you pick -- inexpensive pile of parts. It's you don't you're paying a lot of what you're paying for is -- of the cables and how pretty the box is itself. It's like to say if you're looking for bank -- Don't buy -- boutique gaming PC because you're buying eight critique case and hopefully decent cable management side of it."

" I mean -- I think the options probably apparently you know that bill is a great machine 630 there's lots options on now and and and it went out that we you know Dell provided the machines for the said I I'd been buying Dell machines for years to machines my house or -- so. You know but HP makes -- usually out of the blackbird HP does and in an air -- is really expensive there was not. That your -- version is not really close to the non water -- exactly and the -- you've probably seen a very fancy version has water cooling in you know like three your 4000 dollar price -- indicate they just lower the price as a matter fact of 1800 books for the article written got a great processors got a great video -- loaded up its -- same deal. Yeah I think you're getting this from both of us forth -- you know in times of economic trauma what were all respect in the lobby for America. Man forger he's an insane amount of money for -- game machine even if you're heating -- massive 2430 inch monitor -- written system yet. By some games planet. And -- the rest in like a CD because -- a year from now we didn't want -- gaming machine yeah or you know buy a used car or something I mean it's just more of at this point 4000 dollars is in. -- pile of cash for gaming PC. Unless you like the bragging rights that go with the -- and will -- case and then at the whole the subject that you're doing not a mean back back particulars. And they may change -- and -- July 4. And by the way Angel you've mentioned special financing. Don't don't ever find it to 4000 dollar -- PC don't. Not unless you realize how much the interest you're going to be -- making PC be very careful with financing something funny thing about this -- prepayments into it. And you're already behind the curve as far as technology goes he's barely chip off the Internet well that's like -- easily -- in want to appear to him when my cousins are ya -- MacBook it's awesome I'm paying like thirteen dollars a month and I'm like how many yankees are you paying thirteen dollars a month for. He's really be paying for that MacBook. By the time he's out of graduate school has its first child so he's gonna communities paying like literally like. 3000 dollars for 1500 dollar computer because -- Patrick and well -- any -- up with the financial doctor Phil ueberroth. Should we talk about. Gaming people don't the other the other end you don't because sub 700 dollars because we have a question from Zachary says I'm thinking of purchasing -- grim binary team I'm trying to keep the budget under 700 dollars. Can't decide between two point 53 gigahertz dual core east of the 200 with the radio on HD 3450 GPU. War two point four gigahertz Quad Core Q 6600. With integrated graphics and at the Intel GMA 3100 so. Should accuse the faster processor with a faster CPU either way the system have finally get my hard drive three gigs of ram and Vista. -- member -- value PCs that crap parks in the right particularly it would feel like best seller I mutilated person want this -- with half a megabyte of ram that would block those stories. Can you give your crayons you can draw your own colors in on the monitor fast parts for value making the big question. Is what do you want to use the PC for web serving office applications home theatre PC 3-D gaming. Three gaming is gonna be a stretch for either configuration because the graphics not so hot. If you're beginning with a dual core and spend another fifty your hundred bucks and faster graphics card like the radio 4050 -- and he is 900. Now the Quad Core processor. Quad Core -- he gave a guarded thumbs up thumbs down but this. Whichever way I mean Hillary don't want court's opinion so much more importantly and it comes up you'll get upset because. Theoretically the Quad Core with -- properly multi threaded. Gain what what's with how many games are properly multi -- these days."

" A small -- very small -- right so in most cases a dual cores going to give you as much performance on the processor side and actually meanwhile arguments I have is about like buying more video card. I don't think it's sort of tough if you start buying more and more pieces with a and one integrators. You very quickly if it's -- tell -- where you can right right it's like it's late in the work you think we talked about you go if you go to the -- about Pacifica the next thing you know -- bumped it up into the and we're strong and powerful you will not be -- neither will you -- what core processor."

" And well actually could be a winner if -- app support multiple threads right if you're -- here. -- video work. Video work or or I'll actually love lot of actually if you brought a lot of applications simultaneously specially for if you like to -- CD useful working you gigantic 3000 cells spreadsheet. While playing another enemy and they don't let got a lot of stuff running Quad Core can be great because the operating system will be who Purcell. An application each core -- or substantive each core to an application -- Quad cores are great if you time multitasking or -- threaded applications statement totally accident yeah our our big question. Is it accused 600 configuration doesn't offer a PCI express slot because it has the integrated graphics. If it doesn't offer PCI express slot you might want better graphics than 3100 in the future for some reason. And that we've kind of not be agreeable official PCI express slot in which he shouldn't mind and your motherboard I -- upgrade ability something to watch for -- in their inexpensive PC being able add more storage and expansion cards is always he'd -- Plus in our book but. That's pretty configuration -- it's a great binary my hard drive three gigabytes of ram. And a fairly good dual core or Quad Core processor."

" You know I'm not a huge fan of Intel's integrated graphics solutions I mean packet data especially dire -- they've gotten much better but I was not a big fan -- like these are going when your eyes open find out what kind of expansion -- you know there and don't fortunately has moved away from those preparatory steps everybody's so this the prices probably you probably real upgrade. I like that costs hopefully we've helped me decide what the dual core going to be fast enough to study ice that's that's to -- the green configurations like now much money. I'm telling you could -- earlier question. Go look at that X yes 6630 it's amazing really you'll be surprised at how little list of sorts I would go look at that but before you let's take a moment -- a message from the United States airforce."

" It's. Been."

" REI couldn't resist taking a question about directing these -- me our twentieth one of their -- Wikipedia are DV Arthur EU with the older. High definition. Personal video recorder box fame as the person I didn't upgrade to yes yes now that you can no longer really upgrade to this one you'll you'll get a better analyst."

" Good deal really don't have that he wrote in and he says I need more information all the DirecTV DV ER. I have a DVR twenty that has the 500 gigabyte drive that also has USB after that and east. But I haven't found any information on the usage can you point me in the right direction or sometimes -- shows like the that I have to watch them and delete them pretty quickly before my drive fills up that's from Indian Mississippi I."

" Mentioned having us America he might drive external drive on my regular TV. Box last week -- that all of a sudden we've never DirecTV questions before and suddenly a flood comes and it is tied to kill one with the forms Randy EP eight forms that DirecTV dot com -- a ton of good information there there's people who live in these machines and help you out. -- out of port is the one you're gonna be the most interested. You can connect a much bigger external hard drive to that port. It will then replace not add to essentially replaces the internal hard drive inside DVR so you think it's on that internal hard drive you won't be able to access until you unplug the external drive. Either that is there for direct TV on demand for programming if you get a -- that connection and in seriously can do media sharing with the PC with Intel's -- it. I'm curious if anyone's ever gotten that to -- success -- mostly -- been pretty frustrated with it and -- right now -- you -- direct. To PC beta software running which is postage here everything I have on my direct TV. PDR with any of basically the PCs and perhaps it should start playing around that that's actually pretty equal use the ethernet port on there. And the reason you might want to upgrade to it and in the 21 century the USB port. Has been preserved for future use in taking 2004. Someday they -- some with -- at this point oh right he's shown anything to do with it. Maybe the need to do a firmware upgrades and a technician your house instead of sending over the satellite and nobody. Everybody thought it was gonna be for hard drives than geeks who knows. So. That's pretty much the -- debasing DirecTV tax."

" File that's a long list. There's always been a large community adding additional storage to those viewers -- has been but the honored tradition I think -- legal forms you'll find any questions will be not only answer -- there's a -- community to get right in their start helping -- excited I hope -- and it's."

" It's really -- to race to call and hack is basically it's like external drive with you -- port. Plug it into the what he's doing that he can in the holiday replenish the liberal button. Isn't it because when -- a little potato and patching in new software and adding -- it's really weird because it's really end user friendly they just never talk about it anywhere in the in the -- Google -- TV to finally -- California. Go figure. Hey we -- what about encrypting your drives in this that you're part of this absolutely position only write sentences can you please let me note there's a way to password protect folders in Windows Vista with -- using a separate program. I know it's possible and XP if using and yeah bath but it seemed to find a way to achieve the same results using Vista. I prefer not to have to -- folders and assign passwords. Which is a work around and I don't want to create multiple users that the that lets look at.

" On the gaming scene before you know this happens every year we get a bunch of games in the fall actually becoming a little earlier because -- it was a realizes the got to get them out early enough that they can start selling them into stores. And so you guys can run by camino what happens is because starts hitting people start talking about it we start playing long lines in disease. All all built up -- It's also manipulate us stipulate sales we have -- question were excellent asked about the new Xbox 360. So we get into acting coming in Britain let's talk experience awesome if you if you check out right now. Also okay so if you've seen you've seen it yet to sixty personal. I have access to through -- that flat the flat interface with the -- to slide back and forth kind of you know it's very functional it's not exactly it was beautiful thing in the world well. When you switch to the new experience -- has gotten to on these avatars they have and they're like they're like the mean people and I don't know the next. What's cool about this new interface is that it's very easy to navigate through he uses same sort of ideally like you know functionally is the PS3 interface where it's across bar rule that the I've known you for a few years. This person or hurt you or anybody else or for TV PS3'S. Interface as functional. -- functionality and dismissed -- it is actually functionally no I don't really love -- that much but you have to admit that if you're using the big device -- a controller with sticks not a keyboard not a mouse but with sticks in your manipulating on -- he's been having to taxis that you're going across is actually the right way to do it right yeah -- by the if it's used in a bunch of other devices -- media center right Newton and because it works okay. Right so -- and so they've kind of done that they -- breathing space -- panels that you flipping through vertically and then than they receive off in the three dimensional space you can flip through them that way because that is -- the -- were a lot more functional than the basic PS theory as -- to suit which content that they put into the system. But he didn't anticipate originally that they become overloaded. So what happens is -- for a good idea right you can go to palladium -- sixteenth of an instance to -- thousand of them will we keep on a liberal down further further further into what happened was we're selecting to a lot of menus on the individual blades as opposed to just moving through continent. And that's really its conclusion when you're not using a point by you know with a mouse Ricans point and select want to pick out the about it it's easy. When you're flipping through with sticks. Click click with a quick look at -- exactly okay with them exactly so it works a lot better now they've also got -- easier system for managing your game's appearance of security here's works you know it'll pull yours or two. Flip through the panels are able to see the content you can get the game was that it won't be like oh have to go into the store and look at here's where to in the fundamentally this content is you go to the game. You put the next panel that -- you down you can get to your friends -- map packet just go there ballot but whatever so you're excited yeah and Netflix immigration. Streaming Netflix I like that which is sort of playing -- I just -- Netflix had movies. No matter what district that is -- I just wish they had movies on. Period -- you know what I don't think it from me it's not a movie service it's a catch up on TV service so it's like using it sort of Wikipedia are right because. I -- of seasons of office on it. And in the interface is great because it actually going to machines which episodes I want. And I can I can stop watching whenever I want to pick right back where it left off and equality caiso I have 3000 down 1500 DSL. I'm not getting HD. You know HD is rumored to be hitting with the new with the new update and we've seen it actually in the office suite of T three we get HD -- But when it assesses my mind up in with the gives me near HDM it's gonna be true widescreen. -- you -- it looks it looks but this. I will willingly admit that mine. My DirecTV set up at home is still oppose these -- spy activities it's at all I don't displays the right adult school as counsel. But but it still looks better than that so it looks better than upscale -- it -- on that renders an expert thousand are at what -- think of dead space. And more specifically what it can grab it puts its base the -- of that -- without of the gravity -- is a function of the video game dead space also actually the coolest part of that space is the open. Reading combat when you're in zero gravity so the -- it's a pretty cool they like to bounce around but I of them have a feeling this is a loaded question. Rogers like you can actually use -- program he used to be just an upset the system we're we basically built magnetic boots for. For -- called my cohost of the musical in the walk -- there instantly and it worked. Wolves so Arabia so. To -- just check out system I totally boots you've well. -- By the way guys it didn't work so and upload your leadership promotion and obviously didn't work we already know payola. Though that we we have him upside down moving around and -- but how many how many trips to general. Zero O Cleveland but it could do so let's see my voters are spotted gymnastics. All right enough of my gratuitous -- promotions actually answer some questions let's -- our our first email comes from -- who has a problem his wife and two toddlers -- that you write to me that my wife and two toddlers can't put CDs and dvds back in their cases so you can be ripping all the dvds for the iPhone Apple TV on looking for an app that will find the cover art. That is available on iTunes. If it found movie cover art that would be worth the major test for me I'm on a Mac any ideas. A blank album like finding album art cover art is like the entire subcategory Lifehacker. And it's got an excellent article actually we're gonna have on the show -- right there's like fifteen articles there but there's one that collects all of them where he would like that are really -- the the really good job it has all the list on the bottom all the links and apparently he hasn't."

" Future time if you if you -- to Lifehacker the Lifehacker eats meat easy -- backup. I -- with -- media but it's a windows application only until this fall it probably doesn't -- dvds in any chance of player of that. And can be a little flaky things like soundtrack and collections where the lots of different artists someone outlook. I mean to pick as a like a girl who just one small per tune up which will give you concert listings -- clean up bad metadata stuff like that. You can check out media monkey but it gets a windows application could act as a great job dealing with the meta -- if -- MP3 should dvds that you ripped. But it's also lead is only. It is late you can try any album cover finder on the Mac might work album art thing he one point nine might work is about I've used all of these four CD covers. But for dvds it's a little different."

" Yeah on dvd covers some out of legal little little now and I'm a music guy so I -- the argument primarily the one that Rogers showed us MP3 -- an indication that works great because it cleans up your -- that data it lets you customize any of the fields as you want to -- if you multiple sources including like Amazon and and and and another cover art source to get to cover and it embeds it of the tax."

" I mean opt -- like. I think of just over. Five or 600 out to them basically digitize in my entire CD collection insert Iraq for albums done again again it's a long story -- Could see it always has the country yeah let's just get past that Barbara I can't answer the everytime I try automated tool I end up getting annoyed and going back to the classics doing it manually right clicking and dragging. All CD covers dot com Amazon.com CD covers that CC and of course isn't cooling. For the name of the album because. Even like that you know iTunes is a pretty good job you know you do you signing your your your account and that's pretty gentle funny ousted at all -- always completely these weird like advertising agency. Haven't heard it look at it at all for me -- not gotten good album cover or all of I'll Mikey has an effect I find that this is a lot of them and he does this alarm but it's like how do not know this I've -- the meta tags -- there everything's there why do you not want to particles also really frustrating is if you got like a classic album right and for some reason it gives you like. I don't know V three and wind doesn't value the twentieth century artists packed instead of -- original album cover -- don't want to get covered. -- I guess and we were both past and there's third party programs that work of key I still think you're probably in and -- Google search in and manually I just think that the best results are gonna be if you actually manually search system just what you want to use -- Right to make you MP threes you wanted to searchers to yourself and put it what you want. It will be better in the long run you'll be happier -- were to buy it's actually like 45 pixel -- 45 pixel image image he could tell that an example that was on the application and you look and you look -- going to pull you deploy your player to be like. -- It'll look you don't about the Leo let's put our guys album art for all we you know we should talk about is actually how to integrate your album art we through MP3 files so that no matter where you drag -- to. No matter what application that's the one that's why easily protect because it's actually tag program. And Soviet -- just simply part of the tagging so it's actually it's built -- all it into the type -- I got here I like it it's simple might might home theater machine at home -- weeping softly because it's gonna be running yet another application.

" You got the one -- thing that the media is there you're pretty big on giving basically -- videos and putting them up on the Internet Superman I mean everybody wants to see the latest games especially especially -- they'll look at ray and visible sort of sub culture outlook what I did this video camera equipment in that video game user -- glitches. All kind of stuff you -- game videos that's where are you ready for questions from -- He's in Ireland. It is interested doing a video game show rights and what is easiest way captured team play MP yesteryear and Xbox 360 for uploading the video and HD. He also wants to know we can -- how to one home we're -- PSP and get the latest five point oh firmware for the PSP is compatible with home brew. Okay do when did you home rule or -- to capture the key capture first okay because the whole Britney -- a long answer but care and what you want on the capture card has recently got a black magic design -- product called intensity. And I understand you guys that look at this thing before. -- Ever I don't know why logo logo that's the last I was a sense of local local life biggest hit I've been waiting for another. You know sequel coming it's coming okay you're in good shape. Home -- a whole other subject and we could do textile like for the entire show about numbers -- let me boil down to this. Couple things first of all you're gonna have to go to a non official firmware. And there's a process beginning that blasted if you check out the website for dark Alex -- the PSP Wiki they have a long have instructions which you're gonna need a couple things personally gonna have to buy a special batteries called pandora battery or there's actually an important public will battery. And -- base that's the one that allows you to start spots with the firm right what it does it lets you put the PSPs and to servicemen. And what -- service mode you have to take B memory stick. And -- that I'm European and load software onto it and you have to -- in the process of flashing your PSP you know you've got a new firmware on the -- he would throw her what does that do for a more allow me to do it sounds so exciting that I can I trust uphill all the school in the -- both ways to put an important calling the main reason a lot of -- this new firmware is that one of the developer things that Sony did was enabled -- ability to play PS one games PSP right. They did it proprietary at least to play Sega and playstation online store you could get these games and out like eight dollars or redeployment if people were like we'll pay. They figured out how to run these games on here there must be some code underneath the -- that works out that that let them do that right but I pay for these games a second or third time when I -- access my early collection -- some online social hurt hopefully called ISO buster I'm wondering what it's all about SpinRite ISO buster is basically a program lets you. Rip the code off of PS one disk. And and most you have to the original disks that dog just adds like it -- like I I love the fact that -- We go through all this works like play like Nintendo 64 PS and really -- a little quick final -- separate interviews want to be able to play whatever PS PSP any PS one game to be able play PSP. There's also -- community looked on emulator through different platforms people who are doing like literally ground original games for the PSP -- cool. So that it's gonna allow you to be able to run. Coat also play PS one games and it was supposed to for the -- like video but I think if you don't have the video but. Is it really worth to him and I guess the question to ask it's cool seems also Wii home brew scene. And very Leo. No he's dealing if you want to geek out definitely do it there's no real way to damage or think you can always just put the new firmware back on can you can you brick your yes be. Reflection from him an opportunity to Britain -- you definitely is is it likely is in ways that slightly and a -- Apple and you know do firmware that detects and turns your. I don't think like that because what happens is when you flash to the new firmware and your operating outside Sony's purview anyway and so unless you go back to the Sony official firmware on the home -- software all right so if you you'll so it'll play PSP games. --"

" Cool."

" It seems you've seen an increase in the poor folks with PC gaming questions. You mean like -- and easy to write dozens I'm on spending three older 4000 ultimate gaming PC and was wondering. Which is the best bang for my buck. I don't write 3004000 dollars that's a lot of gaming PC the whole Lotta I think he's gaming PC and NE CTV and surround kind of system look to other residents question about it when we get to -- because I think what do transitory as Sony has been near a much money but he says. I -- Dell owns Alienware but I'm wondering if I get any benefit from going with either company if there's a third or fourth better PC gaming site option and then I think -- In Washington DC. Are -- positive hit a good point Dell has its own gaming line the XPS 63730. And also oh what's right -- and where the second important place else. XP 630 and and we have no connections to tell X 630 is an amazing bargain for the book I don't think you could. I really could buy from Linksys imply right. Or knew it to pieces and build a computer it would be what do you think close it -- it it's really and it's it's really really hard to buy your own parks and the older machine four lessons on the like Dell or HP -- heat -- or. Anybody who is by thinking well huge volume -- end I don't know I don't know if you're going super high and you are going to save some money when you start assembling -- himself but I don't I don't think -- you know unless you're really into like bragging rights -- bragging -- you want to build your -- hot -- Yes three of 4000 machines what -- thing --"

" much of boutique vendors you know Alienware is the one that was bought by Dell and in the performance difference. Parks are parks these days some number tweaks some of them are tweaked by the manufacturers is great voodoo PC which is balk at eight. But once you once you pick -- inexpensive pile of parts. It's you don't you're paying a lot of what you're paying for is -- of the cables and how pretty the box is itself. It's like to say if you're looking for bank -- Don't buy -- boutique gaming PC because you're buying eight critique case and hopefully decent cable management side of it."

" I mean -- I think the options probably apparently you know that bill is a great machine 630 there's lots options on now and and and it went out that we you know Dell provided the machines for the said I I'd been buying Dell machines for years to machines my house or -- so. You know but HP makes -- usually out of the blackbird HP does and in an air -- is really expensive there was not. That your -- version is not really close to the non water -- exactly and the -- you've probably seen a very fancy version has water cooling in you know like three your 4000 dollar price -- indicate they just lower the price as a matter fact of 1800 books for the article written got a great processors got a great video -- loaded up its -- same deal. Yeah I think you're getting this from both of us forth -- you know in times of economic trauma what were all respect in the lobby for America. Man forger he's an insane amount of money for -- game machine even if you're heating -- massive 2430 inch monitor -- written system yet. By some games planet. And -- the rest in like a CD because -- a year from now we didn't want -- gaming machine yeah or you know buy a used car or something I mean it's just more of at this point 4000 dollars is in. -- pile of cash for gaming PC. Unless you like the bragging rights that go with the -- and will -- case and then at the whole the subject that you're doing not a mean back back particulars. And they may change -- and -- July 4. And by the way Angel you've mentioned special financing. Don't don't ever find it to 4000 dollar -- PC don't. Not unless you realize how much the interest you're going to be -- making PC be very careful with financing something funny thing about this -- prepayments into it. And you're already behind the curve as far as technology goes he's barely chip off the Internet well that's like -- easily -- in want to appear to him when my cousins are ya -- MacBook it's awesome I'm paying like thirteen dollars a month and I'm like how many yankees are you paying thirteen dollars a month for. He's really be paying for that MacBook. By the time he's out of graduate school has its first child so he's gonna communities paying like literally like. 3000 dollars for 1500 dollar computer because -- Patrick and well -- any -- up with the financial doctor Phil ueberroth. Should we talk about. Gaming people don't the other the other end you don't because sub 700 dollars because we have a question from Zachary says I'm thinking of purchasing -- grim binary team I'm trying to keep the budget under 700 dollars. Can't decide between two point 53 gigahertz dual core east of the 200 with the radio on HD 3450 GPU. War two point four gigahertz Quad Core Q 6600. With integrated graphics and at the Intel GMA 3100 so. Should accuse the faster processor with a faster CPU either way the system have finally get my hard drive three gigs of ram and Vista. -- member -- value PCs that crap parks in the right particularly it would feel like best seller I mutilated person want this -- with half a megabyte of ram that would block those stories. Can you give your crayons you can draw your own colors in on the monitor fast parts for value making the big question. Is what do you want to use the PC for web serving office applications home theatre PC 3-D gaming. Three gaming is gonna be a stretch for either configuration because the graphics not so hot. If you're beginning with a dual core and spend another fifty your hundred bucks and faster graphics card like the radio 4050 -- and he is 900. Now the Quad Core processor. Quad Core -- he gave a guarded thumbs up thumbs down but this. Whichever way I mean Hillary don't want court's opinion so much more importantly and it comes up you'll get upset because. Theoretically the Quad Core with -- properly multi threaded. Gain what what's with how many games are properly multi -- these days."

" A small -- very small -- right so in most cases a dual cores going to give you as much performance on the processor side and actually meanwhile arguments I have is about like buying more video card. I don't think it's sort of tough if you start buying more and more pieces with a and one integrators. You very quickly if it's -- tell -- where you can right right it's like it's late in the work you think we talked about you go if you go to the -- about Pacifica the next thing you know -- bumped it up into the and we're strong and powerful you will not be -- neither will you -- what core processor."

" And well actually could be a winner if -- app support multiple threads right if you're -- here. -- video work. Video work or or I'll actually love lot of actually if you brought a lot of applications simultaneously specially for if you like to -- CD useful working you gigantic 3000 cells spreadsheet. While playing another enemy and they don't let got a lot of stuff running Quad Core can be great because the operating system will be who Purcell. An application each core -- or substantive each core to an application -- Quad cores are great if you time multitasking or -- threaded applications statement totally accident yeah our our big question. Is it accused 600 configuration doesn't offer a PCI express slot because it has the integrated graphics. If it doesn't offer PCI express slot you might want better graphics than 3100 in the future for some reason. And that we've kind of not be agreeable official PCI express slot in which he shouldn't mind and your motherboard I -- upgrade ability something to watch for -- in their inexpensive PC being able add more storage and expansion cards is always he'd -- Plus in our book but. That's pretty configuration -- it's a great binary my hard drive three gigabytes of ram. And a fairly good dual core or Quad Core processor."

" You know I'm not a huge fan of Intel's integrated graphics solutions I mean packet data especially dire -- they've gotten much better but I was not a big fan -- like these are going when your eyes open find out what kind of expansion -- you know there and don't fortunately has moved away from those preparatory steps everybody's so this the prices probably you probably real upgrade. I like that costs hopefully we've helped me decide what the dual core going to be fast enough to study ice that's that's to -- the green configurations like now much money. I'm telling you could -- earlier question. Go look at that X yes 6630 it's amazing really you'll be surprised at how little list of sorts I would go look at that but before you let's take a moment -- a message from the United States airforce."
