FitBit Ultra Review

Veronica's been wearing a tiny wireless tracking device, the FitBit, for years. It tracks the number of steps you've taken in a day, tells you how far you've walked, how many calories you've burned, and integrates with their website at Fitbit.com that lets you see all this data and track it against your friends' progress as well. Is the new FitBit Ultra wireless tracker worth upgrading to? Watch the video!

Which RSS Reader Should I Use?

Kevin writes in, "I was hoping you could do a walk-through and comparison of RSS readers. I have never used a RSS feed before, and there seem to be so many options. I constantly go to my favorite websites every day (Revision 3, Comedy Central, Engadget, G4TV, Etc.) just to check out the latest news and videos. What are some of your favorite RSS viewers and why? How would you go about setting one up? Is there a way I could make it work with my PS3? Would I have to set up a separate one for video and one for articles?" We've got answers in the video!
