New Cell Phones from Mobile World Congress, Pick Hubble's Next Mission, Recycle Anything With Earth911, Veronica vs. Cornify, Rechargable Battery Recco!
"What can I expect to happen now that I'm using my Internet for my sole means of television?" Great question from Daniel, especially given his ISP's miserly 40GB per month bandwidth cap. We run the number on Hulu, Revision3, Netflix and their ilk... barring a serious 8 hour a day HD video addiction, we think Daniel's probably going to do OK.
We're also feeling much better about our ISP's 250GB cap!

" Wow. Today at -- still -- dominant mobile phones our favorite cell -- David as the report from mobile world congress rocking out -- with a NASA astronomer with your questions about the Hubble telescope and you get to help -- its next mission. And you're free to your bandwidth cap. Forget -- but we've got some room scenes for simple update can open quickly in the crossed up that's gonna buy that last chunk of matte back. -- to pick up some beings because Tekzilla starts now. There's a certain Tekzilla made possible life. Square space. It is dot com and Netflix knockout. I'm better Norton time."
" I don't want what -- Tekzilla hands -- is the latest second how to make the best of the tech you are radio whether you're begin some and is there not to block a few times if you got a question about your cell phones broad band. Windows seven OS-X -- the best keep that in north Jersey. We've gotten cancer especially this you know will be tracked down -- just so punk rock dude -- I'm so jealous that you into the."
" Trucking -- shall I did go to the Truckee Murphy shows and I actually stopped in the midst of my enjoyment of my beloved probably my favorite strapped to her son ever. Bar room heroes to take a picture. Of the people singing -- yeah and a really weird that you one of those new applications. Like. That takes multiple pictures -- once on the iPhone. There is gonna take multiple pictures but it takes like but some that the tiny pictures in the same picture."
" So it's the same hello hello. Can what you're saying. I've also heard that on Tom -- and just Lawrence who company viewer vote -- now let's say you about that I."
" I have that is good job sources illness but. I'm waiting eagerly back from problem bear to see if the cheese. -- he's got food sickness."
" The Senate and had a cute little like wine and cheese party before Atlantis you know got you earnings disease I ask -- with -- could be he had it. Tom's wife had it comes very fragile sorry --"
" Fragile constitution. Oh man I also put a very high tech that is your clothes because you know the whole tonight this thing and definitely earplugs -- like -- it took off my been and I ripped it happens -- in Indonesia."
" A custom custom let's stick custom molded. Look at this punk rock business and Agile into the show the big questions to answer questions I'll I'll start with our -- let me know. Could more recent downsides of broadband Internet indicate it happen if you would you were wondering what to do about it like getting a blast us. Cable cost 130 dollars a month with the economy the way it isn't going to be turning it off and streaming my television fix office I think it'll step provision for courts. I'm also going to run Netflix movies in my gaming on Xbox 360. Internet package has a forty gigabyte maximum monthly consumption -- but really about burning human bandwidth and having them turn off my service Q modem is the only high speed Internet service from yet. What can expect to happen -- my Internet from my sole means of television Daniel in Phoenix Arizona wow forty gigabytes time. Comcast to investigate my team's awful generous these cases yeah apparently out of your provider is that kind of blows. On Daniel it all depends on how many Netflix movies and how many hours of Hulu and Revision 3 you watch and at what resolution. You want eight hours of TV and movies and want giggled you should be okay what's eight hours and forty gigabyte cap could -- little interesting."
" Yes he could probably -- it. Yet you can problem server tracking your bandwidth consumption typical each year's movies around one and half gigabytes. You have forty bytes total an hour of streaming Hulu vary between 480 kilo bits per second in 700. T Maxine had a thousand kill bits per second for the 480. 216 megabytes too 450 megabytes per hour not too bad. By the way if you want to turn kill -- separate second gigabytes. The four dot com -- version calculator is really useful. So what happens right you start looking at this. Kill bits per second you turn it into sort of that gigabytes that should be measured on. Ten hours at least he Hulu is over 10% of your monthly allotment of bandwidth. Forty hours is nearly half your monthly allotment and these there was six Netflix movies that's another nine gigabytes. They can start to add up if you're -- heavy user."
" One precedent network activity should be pretty trivial Clinton any case if you're really super nervous start tracking how much bandwidth use. We -- some options -- pixel 49 avoid the Comcast cap which really isn't looking pretty generous yeah that's okay with my Comcast situation right now."
" And and the truth is is is even before he went out -- going to call forty gigabytes generous certainly not as we're just starting to move toward truly serious. Each dvd or mine. But flip all it's livable -- for sure it certainly get hit that sort of the of the bandwidth consumption videos today unless you like to watch you know download a hundred movies a month on Hulu is an on boxing anymore."
" There goes what my options freezing my --"
" And what about -- iTunes is."
" job spaces the final frontier you can be a part of it. And we talked to PC -- cell phone experts are saying about. Well what's coming up with cellphones but first we would take his time at bank one of today's sponsors square space got a job here -- tell you more about them as one of the masterminds behind revision three's potential takeover of the."
" Hey there is David -- co founder Revision -- I wanted to come on here to Tekzilla I think when the sponsors who makes this show possible and that's sponsors square space you haven't heard where states. Their web publishing platform as well as hosting platform what they allow you do is basically create a website. And out and put it online. And they provide tools that make you able to -- around to look. Like pretty much anything you want as well as all kinds of functionality you'd expect from. And let's take a -- on the web you can see all the different things you can do on line from the Nvidia submitting videos. Having a platform to say things show images of second feeds from different sites like how online. What this alleged -- use their features to drag and drop in -- things change color palettes and I'll have to design features to really customize it make it look the way you want. It's really cool because it. Does all of -- back -- for you let you control just the front end and be really -- what you're doing without really being able to have the technical -- are hedonistic and chops to do the back and stuff and even better -- is put together a special deal to get 10% off entire order. For the life time these first -- to -- go to the site square space dot com. He's a promo code text easy that's TE hazy -- you get 10% off reveal lifetime that you use square space. To create your own site blog professional business site anything like that check it out square space."
" Dot com -- while this week's three -- download a big a free program that we find useful fun or incredibly generous. As we expect duplicate cleaner. We all have them whether it's just a few downloads -- entire music library let's face it duplicate files or a byproduct of our lifestyles. Marketing duplicate files is easiest way in the shower them. Water on a little as a whole other matter there is -- thankfully duplicate cleaner. What you want the applications like the driver -- he was with him. You files of course what makes you look cleaner so powerful that -- just a certain parameters to seek out files is so tight size me. Didn't filter out a list for the system files just think it's want to avoid having issues with the eating the wrong file. Place if you're turning your photo collection -- image preview function lets you look at the JPEG and yet before you toss it and attraction that treasured -- Duplicate cleaner it's a super effective and super free way to ensure you make the most of your limited hard drive space."
" The GSM a mobile world congress is one of the world's largest if not he'll largest exhibition in the mobile phone industry in the midst of -- all the scientists say in mobile phone expert PC mag dot com. You may remember him from back -- C yes yes hostage what is CAD give us the insider's view of what to expect in -- handset technology in the coming months welcome back to the shows saucer."
" Thanks a lot that. This was a huge huge trade show huge heard in my huge hands in this area I do -- it was eight buildings in Barcelona. Four days solid cell phones a lot of stuff for 2009. I would say the big story that I found is the resurgence of Windows Mobile. Now everybody had been saying that Windows Mobile was was was kinda kinda dead --"
" But why I'm the only person I don't -- ever had a Windows Mobile phone that could put up. He's saying it it really is."
" Backer. Yet so that it's really back and it's not necessarily just Microsoft pushing it. LG has committed to produce fifty Windows Mobile phones over the next four years."
" Wow how what why is it coming back wildest and as windows because Windows Mobile has been Tennyson creeping around. You know some people use it to some nice phones based PC but literally it was it was the other other other Smartphone operating system. While all of a sudden as it back to my response spending money that they do something right but this version of the operating system. "
" Well all the big manufacturers want to get into the one part of the cell phone market that's expanding which is Smartphones. They want to have a bigger Smartphone portfolio and so they're feeling around for OS's. And -- proprietary Apple's proprietary. Symbian is sad is this some action on the Symbian front but Windows Mobile seems easy to work with and it's popular now of course the big down story was android. Totally missing. You'd think everyone would be turning to that. I it was 100 under the yeah."
" Why why do you think there's nobody -- android in the sort of the larger cell phone market right now."
" What everybody says they're coming out with android phones and everybody says only positive things about android and then the phones don't appear. It's all very mysterious and I have to think it it turns out that there's something about bringing an android phone to market that's harder than people expect."
" So what the latest version of of Windows Mobile it's coming out what are the features that are setting it apart from previous versions."
" Or well Windows Mobile 65. Which is the new version they'll be coming out later this year it's mostly about user interface and it's mostly about making touch screen phones more finger friendly -- and I -- Yet you have bigger elements on the on the pop up menus. I you have bigger icons on the main menu. You have a much better web browser that you can scroll around with your finger with bigger buttons you can press. So it's making it more finger friendly for touch screens but did the big -- around Windows Mobile really. With that HTC and LGR now both writing these huge extensions for Windows Mobile. Be it HTC and algae are both almost totally redoing interface."
" How about any other particular hardware that stood out for you at the show I don't lot of new phones are release it at mobile world congress."
" Well another thing that was happening was that this is really the year of the high mega pixel camera found and it really looks like. Yet it looks like eight is the new five's. Eight is the place to be -- in fact right here it PC mag labs I've got eight megapixel Samsung memoir. This is coming out is coming out later this week from T-Mobile. And -- is the first official eight megapixel camera phone in the US. This way there's gonna be another iPhone finally with a decent camera can be eight megapixel that's a huge step up. Yeah absolutely and now this eight megapixel camera of course also records dvd quality video. And Sony Ericsson of the show announced a twelve megapixel camera phone called the idea which is going to be -- big flagship this year."
" Eight megapixel camera that's a huge CC DR they step it up with the glass they do anything about telephoto early or they Stephanopoulos quality of the glass that's inside the cell phone lenses."
" Well we're not we're still not seeing any optical zoom that does seem to be something still really missing from the camera on landscape. But it does look like everybody has really allied with a -- provider for instance Samsung is hanging out with Schneider -- knock. And Nokia has high end lens provider Casio has high immense providers say yeah on the is on these high end digital camera phones is certain -- airlines knows what else -- in the hardware side of things was exciting world congress. Well I was actually really excited by Acer you know the motherboard in that book guys. Well they're coming into the market with a bunch of what initially look like nondescript Windows Mobile Smartphones. Did you find out that they're trying to make them free with contract really they. Yet they want adieu to the Smartphone landscape of what they're net books into the laptop -- That's an interesting -- basically taking the cost of the hardware practically out of the equation. Absolutely these guys -- Acer say they can use they're huge scale as a major PC manufacturer. And they can use -- relationships that they've developed in the notebook market. To create Smartphones that are radically cheaper than anyone else's."
" Is anybody any of the carriers the United States sniffing around this idea errors anybody babies -- may be interested at all hmm."
" Her book Acer already has a deal with AT&T they're giving -- 99 dollar net looks at RadioShack with the AT&T contracts. And of course the Acer exacts were sorted tiptoeing around the carrier relationships that they said hey look we've already got a carrier relationship and once you're in you're kind of and you can start selling more products in the other big news this show. Well us Samsung had some interesting new phones. And I saw lot of stuff around environmentalists -- Samsung had this phone call the blue earth which is partially solar powered and partially recycled. And there were a whole bunch of other companies with either solar powered phones or solar powered base stations. We -- Howard base stations there's a lot of looking into alternative energy and and ways to get the on the battery problem."
" So if you live in Phoenix and you can put yourself on on the roof this'll be great but for most of the rest the United States it'll be sort of -- you pay extra for."
" Well don't necessarily say that I mean there's one Bluetooth headset out there called it what sign. Which is solar powered and that can even I get energy into worse that get solar power indoor light so it's possible."
" I just think of the power consumption on the cell phones little bit higher than Bluetooth headset."
" if -- kind of leave it on the windowsill all day while you're working not making phone calls maybe it'll you know -- charge. So you leave yourself letter home to charge up and -- who's gonna work."
" Lot of -- The he'd know what -- question before we go. Lot of you know everybody's excited about the the pre the new palm device one of the things of that has been making waves lately is that they seem to have removed. Tendering from the priest list of features on the website on Sprint's website do you see. Gathering once again -- people to talk about there's been big news like tethers to be the iPhone people are excited to see yes because gatherings on the featureless for pre. Do you think tendering is ever gonna come back a sort of a major cell phone provider feature with some of these new Smartphones so they can avoid them altogether."
" Edit the cell phone providers would rather avoid it -- I think that. And wing it when they think about connecting PCs to their networks. They'd rather have a separate card. Or a separate it really is separate subscription address that it really -- city extra sixty bucks a marker there bingo. They don't want it piggybacking off an existing handset subscription."
" Got it. -- more thoughts about the previously any spending more time with that are just kind of wait for it to ship."
" I spent some time with palm and they're really trickling out information right now didn't make any big announcements at the show they talked little about -- K and in front of them mobile tech pundit Twitter spear there's a lot of whining and worrying about this SDK and whether it's basically just gonna be web apps because that would kinda stick."
" reading reviews coming up this week that the audience to be looking for PC mag dot com."
" Absolutely later this week I check out our review of the Samsung memoir the first eight megapixel camera phone for the US. And of course will let always have the latest stuff on PC -- dot com."
" Go to thanks Sasha were coming on the show today you can check out his mobile or views and is awesome insight on the mobile technology of the cellphone industry at PC mag dot com."
" Time now our Netflix confident that we pick the week and this weekend Priscilla queen of the desert. This hilariously heartwarming film tells the tale of three drag -- played by Terence Stamp Hugo weaving and -- the free unthinkable that you aren't the media streaming out back. Traveling through twelve pounds meaning people who aren't exactly used to such extravagantly fabulous personality. Sparkled feather is an Apple galore this movie belongs -- your Netflix queue now.

" NASA's letting you vote on the Hubble telescope next mission and were kind enough to -- just an astrophysicist. To answer your public questions. I welcome doctor frank Summers thank you so much for being here today and much. So you would do the outreach you're the average astronomer -- This space telescope science institute which sounds very prestigious."
" Well it's a place here Baltimore Maryland and we control the science program of the Hubble space telescope so it is a bit procedures were very happy to be too in this job."
" This sounds like a lot of fun too so we took a bunch of questions from -- Listeners of bars on Twitter and on our website and all over the place and they gave us a bunch of really good questions on the first one is from Frank Zappa once 74 and -- suites what's average time between the Hubble taking -- picture and the public actually seeing it."
" It well this a good question because it varies an awful lot. Object fastest not turnaround time we've had between when Hubble takes -- observation when it appears for the public to see it has been about eight hours. And that was when Mars was and it's close it's it's been in like 65000. Years and what we did is we took the observations we got it. Process really quickly and we got out to the public the same day. And that was probably the fastest we've ever done a turn on an observation. The longest one well it's gonna be like a decade code has we're still processing the observations we take you back in the nineties. I guess and sort of average it be about a year or a year or two because. The astronomers take some time to process their observations before they come up with -- science result and then we produce the images from that."
" Now one nothing that you guys can kind of put to rest Michael Q asked why don't you guys just used the Hubble to take pictures of the moon landing landing to shut up those conspiracy theorists."
" The -- does conspiracy theorists are everywhere well. Unfortunately Hubble he had to look and see if our tax on the moon -- makes little bit more carefully there's 360 degrees in a circle. And you can divide into those degrees up in the sixty arc minutes and being good -- into those are two minutes up in the sixty arc seconds. Now hubble's resolution is 120. Of an arc second so one pixel and Hubbell's highest resolution images is 120 of march 2 you think that's really really small. Except. The mood is really really far away. The -- is over a quarter of a million miles away. And that that distance. 120 of -- arc second course monster about the size of a football field. So one pixel of the moon in Hubbell's highest resolution images only sees a football field. And there's nothing that we left on the moon that's larger than a football field. -- space rovers and then and the lenders are all much much smaller that so unfortunately. We can't get images of them. Not quite as easy as it would seem that. Well not -- this generation of telescopes Davis a few more generations but. I gotta say if you're conspiracy theorist and you believe we actually faked the moon landings. Don't you think they probably believe we could Photoshop a whole image stood -- to take it to."
" true is never get answers there dad can spears users who believe what they want to believe. Walker had freaky tweak how artistic modification is done from those great pictures that we see from the Hubble is that what the Hubble really -- you guys play with -- little --"
" Okay well first of all let me just remind people that Hubble is not a camera. Hubble is a scientific instrument. So the observation of Hubble are done to maximize the scientific output of those images. Barring that. We really do show you exactly what -- seats. We have a really large and stretch in our images that we can see a very high contrast ratio. That's the contrast ratio is about 65001. Unfortunately when we produce an image we're getting it down to a much smaller conference Richard shall we have to sort of optimize the images in the way of -- there. The collars of course what they can't truly respond respond to what your IC -- crises red green and blue. But we're taking very specific wavelengths in order to get science out of them. We have -- it filters that. -- through a very small. And -- the wavelengths so you know what we -- color red an image may only of course font to a berries and small tiny region of the red spectrum. Or the blue spectrum with a green spectrum. So while they are scientific data that is presented in a beautiful way. There's no real lying about the data so -- data set. You know there are -- all truly the Hubble observations. They just happen to be process to make it look as beautiful as possible. Given the constraints of science. I like I said getting the science out of them. Well we're really trying to get all the science we cannot of these images because and this is -- it's expensive telescope. It's one of the best telescopes and it's extremely highly competitive telescope. You know you have to be really really good to get observations on Hubble."
" We've had a lot of questions about the end of the Hubble space telescope and what's coming next and 501. -- how does hubble's successor coming along -- still planned for a 33 launch."
" Okay so then next at NASA's great observatory is there have been -- ray observatory so far beyond Compton gamma ray observatory which. -- again raise the Hubble space telescope will which looks invisible light. The Chandra X ray observatory which observes an X rays and -- Spitzer space telescope observes in infrared light. But the next one is going to be called the James web space telescope. And that is still on track and James -- combines the best of Hubble with the best of Spitzer. Because Hubble has the finest resolution in visible light and Spitzer observes an infrared. So if you take that really find resolution and you observe in the infrared. Well then you've got the James web space telescope and that is still on track for launch in 33. Of course that's a few years out and NASA you know things do slip every now on that hate it so what do you hope to see would -- web versus couple. Well what the web would do really well. Is it will have and as I said hubble's high resolution in the infrared and that's very important perceive things like planets around other stars. Because planets formed in these discs around these other stars in the disks are opaque invisible light. But they give off a lot of infrared light. So if you had hubble's resolution in the infrared yes it you be able to see a lot more details in these disks. And you would be able to see a lot more a planet forming around other stars."
" Excellent and now this is kind of sad question but -- crash wants to know. What will happen with the Hubble telescope when it's all finished -- is gonna disintegrated going to crash lands earth what's gonna happen."
" Okay so the fate of Hubble has not been decided just yet. But in the servicing mission that will happen in May of 2009. We're going to put on -- what we -- do you orbit module basically it's a plate on the bottom the Hubble space telescope. So a future mission can go up and take over the -- out of of the Hubble space telescope. And the plan currently is too -- orbit which means to bring it back to earth and it will and to guide it. And it's and it's reentry so it doesn't land in any populated places of Atlanta in the ocean. So -- yes it's been very good how we all would love to have Hubble space telescope come back down on a space shuttle and be exhibited at the Smithsonian. Unfortunately after the accidents with the space shuttle it is indeed it was deemed many years ago much true risky to try and put that much weight. Into the cargo bay of the space shuttle. So alas we come up with another solution in the next decade yourself. Hubble will unfortunately. When it when he goes out will be a beautiful fireball coming through the sky and -- the ocean that does seem somewhat fitting. It's kind of a majestic way to go at the end of all it's hard work it will definitely be a majestic -- coming through the atmosphere."
" So we have spiral galaxy MG EC's 5172. Star forming region NGC 6334. Interacting galaxies -- to seven before. Those are three of the six potential missions listed that you decide dot Hubble site got bored. And you have any personal favorites that you want to talk about her do you see any particular one winning for that next mission for the Hubble."
" Well the current one in the lead is the interacting galaxies are 274. But I gotta say my personal favorite is the star for your region and DC 6334. I can. No matter which one wins. The Hubble image of it will be fantastic and this is one thing we've learned over and over again is that we've we've we choose our targets well. And process the images well we end up some really great images and so no matter which of the six images wins. Well how fantastic image for you in April."
" Doctor thanks summer thank you so much for being here answering all of our questions today and you guys have to be sure to -- hubble's next mission voting ends march 1 to get it done today that you decide that publicized dot org and be sure to check out his podcast. Public universe un filtered at public site dot org slash go slash un filtered. The coming up more of your viewer questions the first to work."

" A custom custom let's stick custom molded. Look at this punk rock business and Agile into the show the big questions to answer questions I'll I'll start with our -- let me know. Could more recent downsides of broadband Internet indicate it happen if you would you were wondering what to do about it like getting a blast us. Cable cost 130 dollars a month with the economy the way it isn't going to be turning it off and streaming my television fix office I think it'll step provision for courts. I'm also going to run Netflix movies in my gaming on Xbox 360. Internet package has a forty gigabyte maximum monthly consumption -- but really about burning human bandwidth and having them turn off my service Q modem is the only high speed Internet service from yet. What can expect to happen -- my Internet from my sole means of television Daniel in Phoenix Arizona wow forty gigabytes time. Comcast to investigate my team's awful generous these cases yeah apparently out of your provider is that kind of blows. On Daniel it all depends on how many Netflix movies and how many hours of Hulu and Revision 3 you watch and at what resolution. You want eight hours of TV and movies and want giggled you should be okay what's eight hours and forty gigabyte cap could -- little interesting."
" Yes he could probably -- it. Yet you can problem server tracking your bandwidth consumption typical each year's movies around one and half gigabytes. You have forty bytes total an hour of streaming Hulu vary between 480 kilo bits per second in 700. T Maxine had a thousand kill bits per second for the 480. 216 megabytes too 450 megabytes per hour not too bad. By the way if you want to turn kill -- separate second gigabytes. The four dot com -- version calculator is really useful. So what happens right you start looking at this. Kill bits per second you turn it into sort of that gigabytes that should be measured on. Ten hours at least he Hulu is over 10% of your monthly allotment of bandwidth. Forty hours is nearly half your monthly allotment and these there was six Netflix movies that's another nine gigabytes. They can start to add up if you're -- heavy user."
" One precedent network activity should be pretty trivial Clinton any case if you're really super nervous start tracking how much bandwidth use. We -- some options -- pixel 49 avoid the Comcast cap which really isn't looking pretty generous yeah that's okay with my Comcast situation right now."
" And and the truth is is is even before he went out -- going to call forty gigabytes generous certainly not as we're just starting to move toward truly serious. Each dvd or mine. But flip all it's livable -- for sure it certainly get hit that sort of the of the bandwidth consumption videos today unless you like to watch you know download a hundred movies a month on Hulu is an on boxing anymore."

" Thanks a lot that. This was a huge huge trade show huge heard in my huge hands in this area I do -- it was eight buildings in Barcelona. Four days solid cell phones a lot of stuff for 2009. I would say the big story that I found is the resurgence of Windows Mobile. Now everybody had been saying that Windows Mobile was was was kinda kinda dead --"
" But why I'm the only person I don't -- ever had a Windows Mobile phone that could put up. He's saying it it really is."
" Backer. Yet so that it's really back and it's not necessarily just Microsoft pushing it. LG has committed to produce fifty Windows Mobile phones over the next four years."
" Wow how what why is it coming back wildest and as windows because Windows Mobile has been Tennyson creeping around. You know some people use it to some nice phones based PC but literally it was it was the other other other Smartphone operating system. While all of a sudden as it back to my response spending money that they do something right but this version of the operating system. "
" Well all the big manufacturers want to get into the one part of the cell phone market that's expanding which is Smartphones. They want to have a bigger Smartphone portfolio and so they're feeling around for OS's. And -- proprietary Apple's proprietary. Symbian is sad is this some action on the Symbian front but Windows Mobile seems easy to work with and it's popular now of course the big down story was android. Totally missing. You'd think everyone would be turning to that. I it was 100 under the yeah."
" Why why do you think there's nobody -- android in the sort of the larger cell phone market right now."
" What everybody says they're coming out with android phones and everybody says only positive things about android and then the phones don't appear. It's all very mysterious and I have to think it it turns out that there's something about bringing an android phone to market that's harder than people expect."
" So what the latest version of of Windows Mobile it's coming out what are the features that are setting it apart from previous versions."
" Or well Windows Mobile 65. Which is the new version they'll be coming out later this year it's mostly about user interface and it's mostly about making touch screen phones more finger friendly -- and I -- Yet you have bigger elements on the on the pop up menus. I you have bigger icons on the main menu. You have a much better web browser that you can scroll around with your finger with bigger buttons you can press. So it's making it more finger friendly for touch screens but did the big -- around Windows Mobile really. With that HTC and LGR now both writing these huge extensions for Windows Mobile. Be it HTC and algae are both almost totally redoing interface."
" How about any other particular hardware that stood out for you at the show I don't lot of new phones are release it at mobile world congress."
" Well another thing that was happening was that this is really the year of the high mega pixel camera found and it really looks like. Yet it looks like eight is the new five's. Eight is the place to be -- in fact right here it PC mag labs I've got eight megapixel Samsung memoir. This is coming out is coming out later this week from T-Mobile. And -- is the first official eight megapixel camera phone in the US. This way there's gonna be another iPhone finally with a decent camera can be eight megapixel that's a huge step up. Yeah absolutely and now this eight megapixel camera of course also records dvd quality video. And Sony Ericsson of the show announced a twelve megapixel camera phone called the idea which is going to be -- big flagship this year."
" Eight megapixel camera that's a huge CC DR they step it up with the glass they do anything about telephoto early or they Stephanopoulos quality of the glass that's inside the cell phone lenses."
" Well we're not we're still not seeing any optical zoom that does seem to be something still really missing from the camera on landscape. But it does look like everybody has really allied with a -- provider for instance Samsung is hanging out with Schneider -- knock. And Nokia has high end lens provider Casio has high immense providers say yeah on the is on these high end digital camera phones is certain -- airlines knows what else -- in the hardware side of things was exciting world congress. Well I was actually really excited by Acer you know the motherboard in that book guys. Well they're coming into the market with a bunch of what initially look like nondescript Windows Mobile Smartphones. Did you find out that they're trying to make them free with contract really they. Yet they want adieu to the Smartphone landscape of what they're net books into the laptop -- That's an interesting -- basically taking the cost of the hardware practically out of the equation. Absolutely these guys -- Acer say they can use they're huge scale as a major PC manufacturer. And they can use -- relationships that they've developed in the notebook market. To create Smartphones that are radically cheaper than anyone else's."
" Is anybody any of the carriers the United States sniffing around this idea errors anybody babies -- may be interested at all hmm."
" Her book Acer already has a deal with AT&T they're giving -- 99 dollar net looks at RadioShack with the AT&T contracts. And of course the Acer exacts were sorted tiptoeing around the carrier relationships that they said hey look we've already got a carrier relationship and once you're in you're kind of and you can start selling more products in the other big news this show. Well us Samsung had some interesting new phones. And I saw lot of stuff around environmentalists -- Samsung had this phone call the blue earth which is partially solar powered and partially recycled. And there were a whole bunch of other companies with either solar powered phones or solar powered base stations. We -- Howard base stations there's a lot of looking into alternative energy and and ways to get the on the battery problem."
" So if you live in Phoenix and you can put yourself on on the roof this'll be great but for most of the rest the United States it'll be sort of -- you pay extra for."
" Well don't necessarily say that I mean there's one Bluetooth headset out there called it what sign. Which is solar powered and that can even I get energy into worse that get solar power indoor light so it's possible."
" I just think of the power consumption on the cell phones little bit higher than Bluetooth headset."
" if -- kind of leave it on the windowsill all day while you're working not making phone calls maybe it'll you know -- charge. So you leave yourself letter home to charge up and -- who's gonna work."
" Lot of -- The he'd know what -- question before we go. Lot of you know everybody's excited about the the pre the new palm device one of the things of that has been making waves lately is that they seem to have removed. Tendering from the priest list of features on the website on Sprint's website do you see. Gathering once again -- people to talk about there's been big news like tethers to be the iPhone people are excited to see yes because gatherings on the featureless for pre. Do you think tendering is ever gonna come back a sort of a major cell phone provider feature with some of these new Smartphones so they can avoid them altogether."
" Edit the cell phone providers would rather avoid it -- I think that. And wing it when they think about connecting PCs to their networks. They'd rather have a separate card. Or a separate it really is separate subscription address that it really -- city extra sixty bucks a marker there bingo. They don't want it piggybacking off an existing handset subscription."
" Got it. -- more thoughts about the previously any spending more time with that are just kind of wait for it to ship."
" I spent some time with palm and they're really trickling out information right now didn't make any big announcements at the show they talked little about -- K and in front of them mobile tech pundit Twitter spear there's a lot of whining and worrying about this SDK and whether it's basically just gonna be web apps because that would kinda stick."
" reading reviews coming up this week that the audience to be looking for PC mag dot com."
" Absolutely later this week I check out our review of the Samsung memoir the first eight megapixel camera phone for the US. And of course will let always have the latest stuff on PC -- dot com."

" NASA's letting you vote on the Hubble telescope next mission and were kind enough to -- just an astrophysicist. To answer your public questions. I welcome doctor frank Summers thank you so much for being here today and much. So you would do the outreach you're the average astronomer -- This space telescope science institute which sounds very prestigious."
" Well it's a place here Baltimore Maryland and we control the science program of the Hubble space telescope so it is a bit procedures were very happy to be too in this job."
" This sounds like a lot of fun too so we took a bunch of questions from -- Listeners of bars on Twitter and on our website and all over the place and they gave us a bunch of really good questions on the first one is from Frank Zappa once 74 and -- suites what's average time between the Hubble taking -- picture and the public actually seeing it."
" It well this a good question because it varies an awful lot. Object fastest not turnaround time we've had between when Hubble takes -- observation when it appears for the public to see it has been about eight hours. And that was when Mars was and it's close it's it's been in like 65000. Years and what we did is we took the observations we got it. Process really quickly and we got out to the public the same day. And that was probably the fastest we've ever done a turn on an observation. The longest one well it's gonna be like a decade code has we're still processing the observations we take you back in the nineties. I guess and sort of average it be about a year or a year or two because. The astronomers take some time to process their observations before they come up with -- science result and then we produce the images from that."
" Now one nothing that you guys can kind of put to rest Michael Q asked why don't you guys just used the Hubble to take pictures of the moon landing landing to shut up those conspiracy theorists."
" The -- does conspiracy theorists are everywhere well. Unfortunately Hubble he had to look and see if our tax on the moon -- makes little bit more carefully there's 360 degrees in a circle. And you can divide into those degrees up in the sixty arc minutes and being good -- into those are two minutes up in the sixty arc seconds. Now hubble's resolution is 120. Of an arc second so one pixel and Hubbell's highest resolution images is 120 of march 2 you think that's really really small. Except. The mood is really really far away. The -- is over a quarter of a million miles away. And that that distance. 120 of -- arc second course monster about the size of a football field. So one pixel of the moon in Hubbell's highest resolution images only sees a football field. And there's nothing that we left on the moon that's larger than a football field. -- space rovers and then and the lenders are all much much smaller that so unfortunately. We can't get images of them. Not quite as easy as it would seem that. Well not -- this generation of telescopes Davis a few more generations but. I gotta say if you're conspiracy theorist and you believe we actually faked the moon landings. Don't you think they probably believe we could Photoshop a whole image stood -- to take it to."
" true is never get answers there dad can spears users who believe what they want to believe. Walker had freaky tweak how artistic modification is done from those great pictures that we see from the Hubble is that what the Hubble really -- you guys play with -- little --"
" Okay well first of all let me just remind people that Hubble is not a camera. Hubble is a scientific instrument. So the observation of Hubble are done to maximize the scientific output of those images. Barring that. We really do show you exactly what -- seats. We have a really large and stretch in our images that we can see a very high contrast ratio. That's the contrast ratio is about 65001. Unfortunately when we produce an image we're getting it down to a much smaller conference Richard shall we have to sort of optimize the images in the way of -- there. The collars of course what they can't truly respond respond to what your IC -- crises red green and blue. But we're taking very specific wavelengths in order to get science out of them. We have -- it filters that. -- through a very small. And -- the wavelengths so you know what we -- color red an image may only of course font to a berries and small tiny region of the red spectrum. Or the blue spectrum with a green spectrum. So while they are scientific data that is presented in a beautiful way. There's no real lying about the data so -- data set. You know there are -- all truly the Hubble observations. They just happen to be process to make it look as beautiful as possible. Given the constraints of science. I like I said getting the science out of them. Well we're really trying to get all the science we cannot of these images because and this is -- it's expensive telescope. It's one of the best telescopes and it's extremely highly competitive telescope. You know you have to be really really good to get observations on Hubble."
" We've had a lot of questions about the end of the Hubble space telescope and what's coming next and 501. -- how does hubble's successor coming along -- still planned for a 33 launch."
" Okay so then next at NASA's great observatory is there have been -- ray observatory so far beyond Compton gamma ray observatory which. -- again raise the Hubble space telescope will which looks invisible light. The Chandra X ray observatory which observes an X rays and -- Spitzer space telescope observes in infrared light. But the next one is going to be called the James web space telescope. And that is still on track and James -- combines the best of Hubble with the best of Spitzer. Because Hubble has the finest resolution in visible light and Spitzer observes an infrared. So if you take that really find resolution and you observe in the infrared. Well then you've got the James web space telescope and that is still on track for launch in 33. Of course that's a few years out and NASA you know things do slip every now on that hate it so what do you hope to see would -- web versus couple. Well what the web would do really well. Is it will have and as I said hubble's high resolution in the infrared and that's very important perceive things like planets around other stars. Because planets formed in these discs around these other stars in the disks are opaque invisible light. But they give off a lot of infrared light. So if you had hubble's resolution in the infrared yes it you be able to see a lot more details in these disks. And you would be able to see a lot more a planet forming around other stars."
" Excellent and now this is kind of sad question but -- crash wants to know. What will happen with the Hubble telescope when it's all finished -- is gonna disintegrated going to crash lands earth what's gonna happen."
" Okay so the fate of Hubble has not been decided just yet. But in the servicing mission that will happen in May of 2009. We're going to put on -- what we -- do you orbit module basically it's a plate on the bottom the Hubble space telescope. So a future mission can go up and take over the -- out of of the Hubble space telescope. And the plan currently is too -- orbit which means to bring it back to earth and it will and to guide it. And it's and it's reentry so it doesn't land in any populated places of Atlanta in the ocean. So -- yes it's been very good how we all would love to have Hubble space telescope come back down on a space shuttle and be exhibited at the Smithsonian. Unfortunately after the accidents with the space shuttle it is indeed it was deemed many years ago much true risky to try and put that much weight. Into the cargo bay of the space shuttle. So alas we come up with another solution in the next decade yourself. Hubble will unfortunately. When it when he goes out will be a beautiful fireball coming through the sky and -- the ocean that does seem somewhat fitting. It's kind of a majestic way to go at the end of all it's hard work it will definitely be a majestic -- coming through the atmosphere."
" So we have spiral galaxy MG EC's 5172. Star forming region NGC 6334. Interacting galaxies -- to seven before. Those are three of the six potential missions listed that you decide dot Hubble site got bored. And you have any personal favorites that you want to talk about her do you see any particular one winning for that next mission for the Hubble."
" Well the current one in the lead is the interacting galaxies are 274. But I gotta say my personal favorite is the star for your region and DC 6334. I can. No matter which one wins. The Hubble image of it will be fantastic and this is one thing we've learned over and over again is that we've we've we choose our targets well. And process the images well we end up some really great images and so no matter which of the six images wins. Well how fantastic image for you in April."

Weird though that Veronica's b*tch bloopers were bleeped/muted. Considering the language used on Diggnation and TRS. Seems so unnessecary.
TRS and Diggnation are rated as "explicit". We're not.

Abridged Cliff's notes type answer:
Get a dictionary, because like most people I tune out when I hear expletives.
Unabridged answer:
Comedian Norm Crosby was one of the best people at getting a point across using everyday common language. He could even curse you out without using even a single curse word as he was so articulate. Not so may years ago spouting out expletives was cause for a fight. Maybe someone has more respect for people who have no need for such abusive language. Personally, I think that anyone who curses incessantly is verbally challenged and is just too lazy to express themselves in an understandable form. Also it is degrading to anyone who is listening that the speaker does not care enough to explain themselves clearly. If all teachers did was curse, how much would you learn? Honestly now? I can see some might curse in a dramatically adverse situation to express their disdain, but other than that, cursing conveys no real intelligence or true feelings. Does that not make more sense to you than if I espoused just expletives. Listening to people curse all the time is boring, monotonous, and a real turn off. You can hear cursing anywhere. I want food for the mind. A dictionary is a terrible thing to waste.

Not the more expensive ones. Most the retail rechargeable batteries are 1.2v. You can get rechargeable batteries for up to several volts that are about aa size. Most retailers are no longer carrying rechargeables as they are now.

Watching Tv on internet.
Since this person has a cable modem they can try with a newer tv to search for unblocked QAM channels.FCC states a cable provider can not scramble any local HD channels that can be seen over the air. So like in my area I get all the local HD channels for free! Thank you FCC.
I do not pay for cable TV, But the company I work for pays for cable internet for me. After the tech left my house I grabbed my cable spliter and sent a line to my 46inch toshiba lcd. I did a channel search and found about 20 unscrambled channels in high def. The techs do put a filter so you can't get analog signal if you try it on a older TV but that can't put a filter to block HD since its in the same bandwidth in mhz that the cable modem uses.
Almost all my channels are local like ABC,CBS,NBC,PBS but sometimes I get to watch some pay per views as well. Heck sometimes porn pops up too... Just when you are bored hit search and see.....
Your TV must support clear QAM. The TV converter boxes will not work or I haven't found on that does.
This should help with his bandwidth cap since they cant monitor that :). Now I live cable free and only pay for netflix. Next project FTA sat.
Anyone else doing this or tried?

That would be because it's not available at all, nor does it seem worth it to do 2 versions of the show.
