Skyfire
As a fan of Skyfire, I have found that Hulu does work on it.You do need a WM5/6 phone or Symbian phone though.
Turn by turn navigation... when will the G1 or iPhone have it? (Has everybody forgotten about the Blackberry?) Can I watch Flash video like Hulu on either phone? Will Google Maps ever offer real time nav? How about third party browsers like Opera?
And the big question: what's the best resource for comparing wireless networks like ATT, Sprint and Verizon and T-Mobile

" Wow. This episode of the Tekzilla is brought to you by Intel's core I seven processor find yours now -- dot com. The PSP 3000. And the national campaign against drunk driving. Coming up what they shall we -- the -- the macro that would of the photo studio. We got some tips -- what's coming up in technology -- here and the most awesome his musical tribute. -- and a lot more so fire to Yule log in throwback some eggnog -- Tekzilla starts now. Oh did Tekzilla Patrick Norton I'm Veronica Belmont. You are."
" In New York -- Flew what do you on the plane what you're what did you do with what poised to take the united appears that I here in San Francisco at the moment. When you're watching this I'll probably be in New York for her like -- easy -- shifty it -- appetite you sit there is an alien species anyway. I you know like to watch eureka on my iPhone that's what I do when I go on airplanes or when I'm commuting. Have you seen that's don't not even a little bit it's so good it's a cell about the sky and -- this mysterious town -- ever in the town are like super scientists they all working with company called global dynamics. And every week something crazy happens like worm holes or. Or time travel gaming power all sorts of stuff and is this one got to share that he's normal. He's like never -- you know you or me who I mean other and the actor were brilliant but he's just a normal -- mr. -- But hunt them. But it is I downloaded on iTunes and you know as opposed to any more nefarious ways actually get it on iTunes just because he's fluent. Pay for his opinion and I don't get me I don't get beyond H -- at the standard death. A little iPhone to make -- difference to me."
" I finished reading pride and prejudice on my iPhone again asserted on the the plane coming -- in the us doing thirty chapters knocked out. How does that have a experience of Reading on such a small screen I've been using -- and the screen and actually I'd like -- a lot better reading on this that I did. Most of the U Peter bay streeters like the Sony e-book where -- can -- because. When they when they get that they -- make of the entire screen goes black. And then everything drops out to make the letters again I have to say I find that excruciating."
" About -- to you have to train your brain to you know how likely it with pixels -- and like our brain fills in the gap in pixels to make it be cohesive image you kind of have to learn how to do that with the kindle. Because when you're using it you almost get to the bottom of the page and then you. You hit. The patron button right before you get to the bottom so yeah until your brain is still processing the rest of the sentence life crossing and you start over just like you turn paid under certain closing my eyes when I turn the page -- you wait too complicated -- how the re learn how to read something what what is but that's okay."
" Obviously this isn't any like for me it's not a full sized pages four million hours of battery life because it's our entire screen is that the efficiency paper but actually. I was great -- in get Shakespeare too much but he remarked we novels and here you Austin -- great design in your life."
" I'm impressed you can manage it because I tried to read on and I accounts polling didn't work out for me I I can understand that. Aren't so that it's optic your eyes to your attention I was talking about sound or maybe I'm just a mad fool desperate for the verbiage of old from Chicago has some really cool Smartphone question taxes are really good questions gently. Take them on one by one I think we should he says I'm looking get a Smartphone stands probably going to be it -- you -- an iPhone but I've got concerns -- turn by turn navigation why don't I -- these -- have it now. Which -- and we'll have the best version in the future and will there ever be -- turn by turn app that works -- Google maps. So this has a lot more to do with -- licensing nasty -- does with the actual hardware. Yeah imagine I mean it it could probably handle turn by turn pretty easily."
" It isn't there's no reason in the physical hardware -- should be able to turn my and we we -- internally we know Google maps it clicks you can follow your yourself only it is the iPhone now or are about. 100 yards. And before Roger starts screaming here I -- one thing lots of Blackberry users can you turn by turn directions already. There is a third type of iPhone that is in the third type of iPhone. Its authority slapping. There's third driver of smart brought out their. Roots in June versus the iPhone but the crackberry AKA the Blackberry. Is still amazing -- are -- up. What -- that you want I'm not -- but it probably going to be a third party application because of the Google maps terms of service don't let you do real time that. The companies and on the dean of the Google uses like -- companies like these and people who dollars licensing that the GPS makers that make little devices it gulp and dash board so. No now that major changes to licensing when you fine turn by turn directions in the side of Google maps."
" Very interestingly though I'm Tom Tom has a turn by turn -- in their development labs for the iPhone. And at least one rumor sites -- Apple is demo in turn by turn maps but for now. Apple's terms of service next the GPS navigation apps which is sad face pressure because features that I was eve so erratic you. I'm all about streamlining my life. And at this point I'm trying to knock out as many different. Gadgets as they can to one device and so far Blake as it's not just like almost hate saying it because I do love having different products Andy looked trying different things. The iPhone seems to it to become. Seems to be becoming that device for me. Yeah I just covers the spectrum of things and I need right now -- to have that should be."
" My perfect it would be more perfect more better. Whiplash language platforms and have the best one demands of what you're asking did she won or iPhoto or rather I didn't. We ask this in six months with some of the applications actually exist I."
" I mean the one thing it you have to keep in mind though is that a lot of developers are developing for the iPhone in particular just because it has so much of a wider customer base at the moment. Your probably gonna see more innovation and little more. Different apps for your career missile that you might that she won. -- on the other side of the whole thing it's a lot easier to develop for the G one because it is all -- in Java. So there's a lot more developers that no headed to develop things for Java rather than having to go through the whole -- this --"
" The and the android operating system which is what U one runs was designed kind of by programmers for programmers and not about. Created precisely controlled department it is executed by Apple shocked notes. Browsers for a second -- those questions he wants to watch Hulu dot com. Is he what you -- who want us on this phone which are when he gets what was that we possible can either phone when an alternative browser that supports flash like sky fire. Don't yes accidentally operate is already on the G one and Adobe is a promise that flash is gonna hit the injury list shortly. Now I don't see why you couldn't run. Hulu on a flash. Based browser haven't had a chance to check in on have a Windows Mobile device -- anymore. The interesting question whether for some reason who would block that I don't think it would. Flash in the iPhone."
" Here I think not. You're so depressed yes. Pretty well flashing the iPhone that's what happens is I want my first angry complaints about the iPhone have there was a flash so who knows maybe eventually find."
" No flash no competitive browsers. You know we have a competitive discussion before."
" They don't like things."
" It was. That whole thing I mean let me fire bill's third question that she and her baby -- avoid another voice dropping from the ceiling reforms -- via who's our. Just when we're producers. Who -- a -- fan of -- you want yes -- final question what do you guys think the biggest issues that make iPhone better than G one or vice versa."
" That's really gonna be up to you at the end of the day I recommend that you get your hands on both devices and take a look because they aren't very different phones mean. To get this G one's least packet from Sara Fina and a lot of people like that has -- gritty keyboard which is kind of big deal. It's not the best gritty keyboard I've ever leave my hands on terms of the phone. But you know it works it's there commented that it also has obviously the touch display both talked about this I'm pretty handling I think that episode where. -- Ryan and Josh came on was pretty. In depth on the Mac books in the G one a day. But you know what I really like about it is that has a macro focused second scan you PCR and it's. It's not a make or break it -- I'm. Really enjoys getting Barkley it's it pleases I don't use this is my mean phone but. I do have one for testing purposes and one -- at the office I was. Pretty much going on to everything would bar code on it scanning scanning scanning scanning the have been it would bring out like -- eight what item -- African lives and I thought that was so cool. I don't know why doing surfing is in the --"
" 2 yeah you know -- the oh boy. More open development environment so pretty -- anything."
" average Joe doesn't really care about -- our viewers doing I was sitting out was a statement to point out that this before this is a geek phone. Early adopt the phone is a lot to say it has the applications have a unfinished feel. It's geeks will do. Slip her feet as the apparently those slippery that we thought. It's you know it's not gonna have as many accessories up or when there's things about the iPhone because it's an Apple product because -- him hard. Contends. Ridiculously actual fan base is going to be huge fan of accessories is basically everybody makes tons of accessories for iphones and iPods because they expect billions of them to be sold. So there's all sorts of gadgetry cases and stuff around this that probably are gonna show up."
" For -- the apps I mean it's gonna see a lot more support in general for device that millions upon millions of people on my right but this -- the sort of this is still gonna when he friendly to developers -- thing going on its ultra of this program and but in this as -- these -- of them -- yourself. She speaks truth eventually it. And any person out there are resource her website the compares wireless networks eighteen team versus team mobile -- others which network do you all think is the past I think your best resource is probably your friends in the area that are on various networks and they can tell you how -- been working for them because. I mean I'm and we're in San Francisco where about sunny TNT."
" And it blows here. It's not nearly Verizon was -- from Verizon doesn't actually work in a three block area around my house -- I -- to -- in my Verizon -- month and a half after -- bought it which is like a month after. Month before -- there. If you want an iPhone you go with eighteen. T-Mobile memories -- Arabs and yet. You know what. Talk to people in your neighborhood Howard's forms is great but nobody knows how stuff works in your neighborhood as much as the people in your neighborhood or calendars CD. In by the way if you like ten people in a room -- about each network it's gonna be like two or three people would probably every single soulful provider."
" I do have to say from experience and that T-Mobile has some of the best customer service I've ever doubtless of any company that are. So personally I really enjoy team mobile -- given. Pat more the iPhone on T-Mobile by some miracle -- I would probably go with them pre -- who -- easily could kill fee and go to the Q one. Government for testing purposes like sends them and when the testing group is testing purposes only get sick of -- give back. Just like how usually in the circumstances had -- going to do this question it could've brought in veggie wanton and talked about it dealings there penis. -- Next time we'll do you have are actually -- I Madani because it is in my backpack and now."
" Nothing of sponsors of today's show Intel's core I seven processor of Pamela and it dot com. The -- I seven processor features intelligent multi core technology that kicks into overdrive and your activity becomes. More intense virtual world and it assignments everything seemed to think that it's an -- distribution. Across -- upward trend. That means is less -- the only thing you think sacrificing. Your -- me. And -- your system performance. You'll also experience stunning realism and advanced multi threading themes as it can't pay high price of systems dynamic physics and your history and didn't take advantage of core I seven hours. Plus -- at Verizon processor and without company -- Cuba could Tekzilla and get ten bucks off. So plan on purchasing a new media -- gaining PC for Intel's core processor processor extreme. It's a smarter way to take on -- pregnant teens and applications will."
" While this week's freebie download pick a free program we find useful fun or incredibly interesting this week's pick one of my favorites exact audio copy. Every audio -- those that -- very deliberate music you need to start with the best source material possible. Which means you probably should go buy vinyl with targeted them right now exact audio copy of the windows program -- audio from CDs dvds report air lines during processing. -- we're here to tell you exactly where the problem this. It's actually a lot slower than the average for this program this is because it's taking its sweet time to make sure that all the data it's been top of it. It has magnificently progress is possible. If -- deliver quick and dirty rip the speed up process we don't recommend it. It has a lot of features that you'd expect from India -- copying software plus options like autumn optimization importantly that the greens that are local -- being involved confession supports. But what does me -- audio ways you can manually take it out without opening up a separate on. That idea of shopping is free and it's important progress -- might went to a glitch from time to time but trust us it's worth the occasional pain the -- some tips and tricks for getting you see -- the best of your machine. To make sure you check those -- out. An exact audio copy. Yeah."
" Last week Moroccan had a chance to talk to PC mag that comes Robert -- about HDTV buying tips for every price range if you ride an HDTV go back the last week and watch it right now. But we stood the opportunity to ask Robert what it felt with a -- and look out for it 2009. Here's what the man had to say."
" As fear comes so close what do you see as being significant in terms of pricing and technology you see things getting cheaper Canon pennant you know level out."
" For things like Blu-ray players than they have in the pressed on that and throughout the year we've seen steady declines and prices for that excuse me. However with televisions it seems like they want to try to hold the price point for. Introducing new models or new features and their careful not to introduce too much once they can have something fresh for the following years comes. However as soon as any he's been -- for even a couple weeks you'll you'll see the price start to decrease over time consistently. To a point where it's a plateau and has kind of done until the until the end of life in a model no longer available. That's a trend that's just consistent throughout time so if you're really interest in something brand new that just came out. Or you're interested and maybe some men just came out right now wait for the next models come out -- the press on what you're looking -- and stifling and drop songs don't wait too long. And that's just fairly standard buying advice that."
" Is screen technology going to stick with being plasma versus LCD is that going to stay the trend."
" That will that will for foreseeable future they do have the first Vallely. The axial won the eleven -- beauty I mean it is it is a world class display but it's eleven inches and it's 2500 bucks and it's. It's one of a kind that's like cost that much and they --"
" Action is that this a dead on the way to go."
" Nearly dead there the last there's only two companies left making rear projection TVs maybe three. They're all getting out of it than in the short in the short term they really there are bailing out quickly for a lotteries I mean I think one of last major announcements for this technology. Will be the laser view from Mitsubishi is coming out and 65 plus and screen sizes the fact -- he's a laser light engine to generate -- green. A lot of people -- interest and and it I've I've seen it running and it's great but it's still it has all the inherent characteristics. And flaws relive our PT that are we're projection TV technology including. Bad viewing angles and in generally you're never gonna give it absolutely terrific contrast that of that kind of display system due to internal light scatter if nothing else. Andy's still consider Blu-ray to be the choice to go to for 1080. There are new forms of 1080. 1080 PD OT at least that's available now with my DISH Network service that I use it in the lab. However I would really like to see the apps that bit rates that they're offering on this content again. When you talk about the DA TFC standard for digital television. As far as HD broadcast goes they've defined a total of about six when he megabit for audio and video combined. You go to Blu-ray and you can push it upwards of fifty megabit if you wanted to now said twenty negative for broadcast television HD. Where they ever had that and in in most cases they try to go far less on that now. The advances in new video Kodak's particularly with mpeg four could make you now. I have bit rate at ten megabit and video signal look pretty good at HD resolution. However that nothing beats just having. Fire as the bandwidth available to with the Blu-ray player for for everything from just motion to special effects like fire. Anything -- moving and a lot of detail and it like water rapids the water moving or fire burning those kind of things are very green and moving graphics when you see like transitions on your favorite sports games and things like that those are very difficult -- and you that three typically see your break up your other. Just bad gunk on the TV they don't want us."
" information thank you senator come and tell us about what's coming up next here for HDTV any time."
" Now if markets more roberts' work he'd always find that it PC mag dot com and don't forget to catch on -- TV every Thursday at noon Pacific. Dextre got immediate question from David Boston where I hear -- whether it actually warmer last week that it was here. --"
" Hey Patrick Veronica I think that my roommate -- PC user may have a botnet running his computer. I was wondering if there any tools that can use my Mac to sort of detect this in the network level. But I should be looking for and various ports things like that which is just tell him to schemes computer. -- On Veronica I this is for you with love from Boston it's in Dunkin' Donuts regular coffee. Just the right -- cream and --"
" Well thanks a lot -- front and that might face you really want -- those now I'll look typically says we are in the past future of sorts that could actually. Be drinking one right as where as the people who -- watching this episode when the blueberry cake to monitor. Linda Perry and it's so good then I'll man months. Use. It so awesome. -- nothing else it's gonna talk opponents they're open 24 hours. Anyhow days on if you suspect -- its computers a zombie is only one thing you can tell fire. Yeah more B with a stick her boots up with a -- there don't yeah I didn't in the wrong and partial to that."
" The game what I want to do a little."
" Because I'm I'm going through a litany of ways to kills on the computers in my head or people but it biking has. Walk into his room fire his computer and check it from there you know get a copy of spyware doctor. And loaded up in kill when everything's right there why do you need to do it for your."
" Yeah that's very very intrigued by this whole process like do they hate each other does he not speak to his room saying that did you steal -- sounds like a pack rat that the whole. Or -- is covered in stuff and he can't make it over to apparently he -- like a robot. Make it -- this is the computer to fix the did fix the botnet if you I mean. It seems like gave personable kind of guy. Absolutely so for those of you may not -- botnet is a network of computers under the control of a bot herder I believe they're called a -- It's controlling them to send out spam or you know do something like initiated denial of service attack on another machine. On the if you notice your computer lagging or what is from the other science lagging -- or like programs running in your task manager that you're not familiar -- door. Or oh emails bouncing back that you don't remember sending. -- on our signing on email to -- spent not enough to Viagra to stand. Yeah there's a lot of different signs he can look for if you're wondering that if your PC is actually a botnet."
" If you're skiing your little brother comes over to browse naughty stuff happens also -- it's gonna even free stuff and certainly machines 40% slower beat him with a stick and then go out buy something like spyware doctor antivirus."
" Right you want to keep your spyware in anti virus all of to date you because primarily they get in by trojans that you. Accidentally install symington. To jump on your tangent I don't know on him but yet I mean the best medicine is preventive. Madison so -- street got all your ears your updates."
" Any Maris and in -- it I'm -- Is how you might tell from your Mac could you could if you had access whose machine you can set up you know -- you promote access are running applications nosing around there. But that's what I'm curious further all the folks that TV hole I -- lifestyle in the audience it's in this instructions for how you might use. A packet sniffer to scan the traffic come being from that machine to see if you can identify it bot infested machine that way if you if there's a great way to do that. Email -- particular version three dot com because I am very curious about that."
" Yeah because you still need to go and install. Are at least go give get her missions to. Get onto his computer from from his back for and you can't just pop on from the network Arabia and it not if you're really totally super elite. Yeah me oh we -- one."
" There classic way of getting relief foul stuff loader on your machine that. Downloading software. Illegal versions are cracked versions of software off of pure peer sites and installing them on your machine. That's what you're careful what you download run especially especially -- that he shouldn't be and run -- decent anti buyers and particularly where your hand crash. It's just is that but did."
" Studio can't stomach so now I don't care leaders. Anyhow. Get your fifteen seconds of Internet video games and its innovative and very I need to do is record yourself in front of the camera asking question long and fifteen seconds preferably. Then upload them -- and in email form cents a link with video question in the subject line."
" Now attachments please stick moment to thank one of the sponsors today that zone Tekzilla the PSP. 3000.

" Looks like it's time for another wet fence we just can't get enough a web site that we just can't stay away from because street. Funny guy irresistible this -- speech accent archives and if you fancy yourself only western just. Appreciate the different types of accent reflections and annunciation that people use when they speak the English language the speech accent archive in your web site. And literal library of accents and speakers all of of the US and the -- Compared talking actual summit now convinced then or eastern seaboard accent of some of the Staten Island. Feel fine and live the life in amusement and -- speech patterns people refused the exact same words and sentences. Each speaker it let's sit with a biographical stuff listing among other things birthplace native language age and where that person learn to speak English. -- real good understanding of how other languages can influence in association consonants and balance. Now -- you contribute your own linguistic -- of the archive how you will give you instructions on how to submit your own speech to the site. If you want -- better appreciation of the English language and accent that helped shape the way it spoken in need to visit the speech accent archive today. So say it would be hearing about how someone found some important raising Connecticut and lived in Boston and now live from San Francisco for the past five years well carried out. Please call style as couldn't bring these things with her from the store."
" Six when -- if they have that we can then maybe it's meant for her brother Bob."
" We'll see any small plastic snake and be totally from the -- keep them to be things we read about Google me her when -- things."
" As you know last week extreme text Jason cross is here -- with a hunting video card buyers guide. And while he was here he graciously answered a few more questions. What folks expect to see in the graphics card and processor market next year."
" Did you -- back this week to talk about PC trend in 2009. That year that is coming up soon bigger better faster more right yes we're done."
" That was so easy and here I AMD actually playing catch up with Intel -- catch up to the I seven."
" And they will they won't catch up in price either. Now I don't know aren't supposed Stoller another will be more portable and I mean I won't be as expensive as the -- Ivins probably that's -- get -- coming out which phenom with their new Quad Core architecture. This you know in 2000 and kind of had its problems and they worked out some of those problems and they're moving to a new manufacture the 45 nanometer manufacturing process and that'll be -- Probably gonna start off being -- to only. And and sporting hero three coming soon early in the year 2000 and that's gonna take Andy through 2009. And they're supposed to be we haven't seen -- yet we don't know what they're supposed to be awesome over clockers unlike you the female ones you know users supposed to be. How lot of headroom to that are actually be that'll be big with the disease Korea yes. How about on the graphics card front. The graphics card right. Nobody -- for certain but direct X eleven is gonna come house or around upon the windows seven which is probably sometime late. 2000 so. And that it was going to have graphics cards it's -- the X eleven stuff which is cool. According stuff there is that desolation. And computers computers is a big. With a solution. Desolation is taking -- low -- gong rough model and breaking down into a bunch of little volumes to make it smooth for looks means that. And the future of computers are. It's sort of a subset direct X is -- language can be used for non graphics things. Who spoke kind of like you know could there's -- seals and other standard coming out soon that Apple's board with. And coming from the cross groups in people who do open GL so it's using that API did you you know. Physics and that you trans coding and the image processing and all those other things people wanting that are not. 3-D graphics to finally like you'll have a real reason to buy graphic card to make Photoshop faster. Yeah I mean actually Photoshop does that he has for -- has some features that right now but there's no one language these open geo because all they do is panning and stuff they have dual image processing that. With that. So did this to give a -- a way to do that in a way that. Isn't is supported equally wild cards to its gonna be one languages it's direct X so in this with -- moment the darkness bind them paths they don't have to worry about well this is an app that runs that scooter and -- on the cards and a guy has there ATI stream stuff and -- TI cards and finally a language that. Are are both -- Nvidia and ATI going to play nice since removed. You know work with a common language to make it easy for developers are they gonna keep push its gonna be. Direct X -- computers can be that language and open CL is another one so and I don't know which one's gonna take off obviously direct X is only gonna be you know windows platforms. And apples on board with a conceal things. Are we gonna see integrated GPU's in the CPU core in our integrated GPU's like in the chipset going to -- lasted 2009. They're gonna suck less put it you know as they get better also soul so to do all the add in cards get better and the games and everything get more strenuous and so it's their relative performance I don't really see changing you know and they're still limited by memory and so we're gonna have from Intel though. Possibly next year. What's on their road map is to build in that. The degree graphics into -- you can you possibly not mr. in this thing died in in the same CPU package of IC views of CPU. And integrated memory controller but they have on the horizon and the graphics core audience there is that as he stood on mostly -- net books and really small low power Verizon's there. And end corporate knowledge of all the places that get integrated graphics now that's -- having great graphics on the motherboard right in the core -- seven timeframe it's going to be. This -- you -- there was more space -- if you exports to. Yet but it I think obscure uses for thousands. Jason any other things you would think about and we should which beeping at about for 2009 Intel's Larry B might make its market they've always said. Late 2009 or maybe early twenties and that we don't know and we don't know all about it -- there was this weird. Architecture that does all its its a bunch of CPU like cores and can like course but it's not a -- process -- is not a cell processor and its X 86 compatible and they're doing the whole rendering pipeline in the software it's gonna support direct X on this thing but we don't can be fast -- Is it still trying to figure that's supposed to be competing with. You know ETI and Nvidia or if it's competing with like Intel NET -- Intel and AMD and need is yet there isn't a processor isn't it CPU is an you know well that the writing on the wall is that all of these release if you intensive tasks like -- and stuff are best served by. GP GP used to fund graphic cards so Intel's making a product the first product traveler he they keep saying is gonna be a high end enthusiast graphics card so figure it 300 dollar or more graphics card is where that's gonna first show. Downed lines you know maybe it'll be a second processor in your motherboard again you know just just like the old math co processors I was gonna say I feel so for 86 all of a -- but like that you know you want to do your view it. Conversion really fast or folding home or whatever it is. Everything old is new again Jason it's like that so Austin have you armies and take -- so no problem."
" But like to thank Jason again for stopping by helping us out on the shelf if you want to catch up on more of Jason's work to surf on over to extreme tech dot com. It's be placed -- you're serious about PC performance. And now message from one of our sponsors the national campaign against drunk driving. Impaired driving continues to be a socialist first thing kill and -- thousands Americans every year. In 200613. 1470. People were killed and alcohol impaired driving crashes. These fatalities accounted for 32%. Of the total motor vehicle traffic fatalities in the United States. 15% of all drivers involved in."
" crashes during the week when alcohol impaired compared with 31% on weekends and it's preventable. If you're planning to drink alcoholic friends and designate its sober driver before going out and give that person your keys. And a -- of mass transit Paul attack seemed more sober friend or family member or you can use your community server right program. To do this heartening don't drink and drive."
" Terms as we ask you if you wanted to see if nobody highlight photo studio quite if you if you -- again like Giles whose dad. I would love to see what Veronica Belmont mentioned in your latest Tekzilla episode despair part of my house that could be transformed. If it's possible I'd enjoy watching the photography studio B built thank you Giles. -- you know what. It's really we -- thinking big photo studio that would regulate. The photo studio."
" Totally. Welcome to the near her when you're apartment which is your giant photo studio -- little -- with dogs what we're doing here can definitely be scaled up to a larger room it's more and it's an idea it's a way that things work that make for good photos and you know small scary you know I don't want scale here it lets you need is -- square box."
" Wow. This episode of the Tekzilla is brought to you by Intel's core I seven processor find yours now -- dot com. The PSP 3000. And the national campaign against drunk driving. Coming up what they shall we -- the -- the macro that would of the photo studio. We got some tips -- what's coming up in technology -- here and the most awesome his musical tribute. -- and a lot more so fire to Yule log in throwback some eggnog -- Tekzilla starts now. Oh did Tekzilla Patrick Norton I'm Veronica Belmont. You are."
" In New York -- Flew what do you on the plane what you're what did you do with what poised to take the united appears that I here in San Francisco at the moment. When you're watching this I'll probably be in New York for her like -- easy -- shifty it -- appetite you sit there is an alien species anyway. I you know like to watch eureka on my iPhone that's what I do when I go on airplanes or when I'm commuting. Have you seen that's don't not even a little bit it's so good it's a cell about the sky and -- this mysterious town -- ever in the town are like super scientists they all working with company called global dynamics. And every week something crazy happens like worm holes or. Or time travel gaming power all sorts of stuff and is this one got to share that he's normal. He's like never -- you know you or me who I mean other and the actor were brilliant but he's just a normal -- mr. -- But hunt them. But it is I downloaded on iTunes and you know as opposed to any more nefarious ways actually get it on iTunes just because he's fluent. Pay for his opinion and I don't get me I don't get beyond H -- at the standard death. A little iPhone to make -- difference to me."
" I finished reading pride and prejudice on my iPhone again asserted on the the plane coming -- in the us doing thirty chapters knocked out. How does that have a experience of Reading on such a small screen I've been using -- and the screen and actually I'd like -- a lot better reading on this that I did. Most of the U Peter bay streeters like the Sony e-book where -- can -- because. When they when they get that they -- make of the entire screen goes black. And then everything drops out to make the letters again I have to say I find that excruciating."
" About -- to you have to train your brain to you know how likely it with pixels -- and like our brain fills in the gap in pixels to make it be cohesive image you kind of have to learn how to do that with the kindle. Because when you're using it you almost get to the bottom of the page and then you. You hit. The patron button right before you get to the bottom so yeah until your brain is still processing the rest of the sentence life crossing and you start over just like you turn paid under certain closing my eyes when I turn the page -- you wait too complicated -- how the re learn how to read something what what is but that's okay."
" Obviously this isn't any like for me it's not a full sized pages four million hours of battery life because it's our entire screen is that the efficiency paper but actually. I was great -- in get Shakespeare too much but he remarked we novels and here you Austin -- great design in your life."
" I'm impressed you can manage it because I tried to read on and I accounts polling didn't work out for me I I can understand that. Aren't so that it's optic your eyes to your attention I was talking about sound or maybe I'm just a mad fool desperate for the verbiage of old from Chicago has some really cool Smartphone question taxes are really good questions gently. Take them on one by one I think we should he says I'm looking get a Smartphone stands probably going to be it -- you -- an iPhone but I've got concerns -- turn by turn navigation why don't I -- these -- have it now. Which -- and we'll have the best version in the future and will there ever be -- turn by turn app that works -- Google maps. So this has a lot more to do with -- licensing nasty -- does with the actual hardware. Yeah imagine I mean it it could probably handle turn by turn pretty easily."
" It isn't there's no reason in the physical hardware -- should be able to turn my and we we -- internally we know Google maps it clicks you can follow your yourself only it is the iPhone now or are about. 100 yards. And before Roger starts screaming here I -- one thing lots of Blackberry users can you turn by turn directions already. There is a third type of iPhone that is in the third type of iPhone. Its authority slapping. There's third driver of smart brought out their. Roots in June versus the iPhone but the crackberry AKA the Blackberry. Is still amazing -- are -- up. What -- that you want I'm not -- but it probably going to be a third party application because of the Google maps terms of service don't let you do real time that. The companies and on the dean of the Google uses like -- companies like these and people who dollars licensing that the GPS makers that make little devices it gulp and dash board so. No now that major changes to licensing when you fine turn by turn directions in the side of Google maps."
" Very interestingly though I'm Tom Tom has a turn by turn -- in their development labs for the iPhone. And at least one rumor sites -- Apple is demo in turn by turn maps but for now. Apple's terms of service next the GPS navigation apps which is sad face pressure because features that I was eve so erratic you. I'm all about streamlining my life. And at this point I'm trying to knock out as many different. Gadgets as they can to one device and so far Blake as it's not just like almost hate saying it because I do love having different products Andy looked trying different things. The iPhone seems to it to become. Seems to be becoming that device for me. Yeah I just covers the spectrum of things and I need right now -- to have that should be."
" My perfect it would be more perfect more better. Whiplash language platforms and have the best one demands of what you're asking did she won or iPhoto or rather I didn't. We ask this in six months with some of the applications actually exist I."
" I mean the one thing it you have to keep in mind though is that a lot of developers are developing for the iPhone in particular just because it has so much of a wider customer base at the moment. Your probably gonna see more innovation and little more. Different apps for your career missile that you might that she won. -- on the other side of the whole thing it's a lot easier to develop for the G one because it is all -- in Java. So there's a lot more developers that no headed to develop things for Java rather than having to go through the whole -- this --"
" The and the android operating system which is what U one runs was designed kind of by programmers for programmers and not about. Created precisely controlled department it is executed by Apple shocked notes. Browsers for a second -- those questions he wants to watch Hulu dot com. Is he what you -- who want us on this phone which are when he gets what was that we possible can either phone when an alternative browser that supports flash like sky fire. Don't yes accidentally operate is already on the G one and Adobe is a promise that flash is gonna hit the injury list shortly. Now I don't see why you couldn't run. Hulu on a flash. Based browser haven't had a chance to check in on have a Windows Mobile device -- anymore. The interesting question whether for some reason who would block that I don't think it would. Flash in the iPhone."
" Here I think not. You're so depressed yes. Pretty well flashing the iPhone that's what happens is I want my first angry complaints about the iPhone have there was a flash so who knows maybe eventually find."
" No flash no competitive browsers. You know we have a competitive discussion before."
" They don't like things."
" It was. That whole thing I mean let me fire bill's third question that she and her baby -- avoid another voice dropping from the ceiling reforms -- via who's our. Just when we're producers. Who -- a -- fan of -- you want yes -- final question what do you guys think the biggest issues that make iPhone better than G one or vice versa."
" That's really gonna be up to you at the end of the day I recommend that you get your hands on both devices and take a look because they aren't very different phones mean. To get this G one's least packet from Sara Fina and a lot of people like that has -- gritty keyboard which is kind of big deal. It's not the best gritty keyboard I've ever leave my hands on terms of the phone. But you know it works it's there commented that it also has obviously the touch display both talked about this I'm pretty handling I think that episode where. -- Ryan and Josh came on was pretty. In depth on the Mac books in the G one a day. But you know what I really like about it is that has a macro focused second scan you PCR and it's. It's not a make or break it -- I'm. Really enjoys getting Barkley it's it pleases I don't use this is my mean phone but. I do have one for testing purposes and one -- at the office I was.

" average Joe doesn't really care about -- our viewers doing I was sitting out was a statement to point out that this before this is a geek phone. Early adopt the phone is a lot to say it has the applications have a unfinished feel. It's geeks will do. Slip her feet as the apparently those slippery that we thought. It's you know it's not gonna have as many accessories up or when there's things about the iPhone because it's an Apple product because -- him hard. Contends. Ridiculously actual fan base is going to be huge fan of accessories is basically everybody makes tons of accessories for iphones and iPods because they expect billions of them to be sold. So there's all sorts of gadgetry cases and stuff around this that probably are gonna show up."
" For -- the apps I mean it's gonna see a lot more support in general for device that millions upon millions of people on my right but this -- the sort of this is still gonna when he friendly to developers -- thing going on its ultra of this program and but in this as -- these -- of them -- yourself.

" And it blows here. It's not nearly Verizon was -- from Verizon doesn't actually work in a three block area around my house -- I -- to -- in my Verizon -- month and a half after -- bought it which is like a month after. Month before -- there. If you want an iPhone you go with eighteen. T-Mobile memories -- Arabs and yet. You know what. Talk to people in your neighborhood Howard's forms is great but nobody knows how stuff works in your neighborhood as much as the people in your neighborhood or calendars CD. In by the way if you like ten people in a room -- about each network it's gonna be like two or three people would probably every single soulful provider."
" I do have to say from experience and that T-Mobile has some of the best customer service I've ever doubtless of any company that are. So personally I really enjoy team mobile -- given. Pat more the iPhone on T-Mobile by some miracle -- I would probably go with them pre -- who -- easily could kill fee and go to the Q one.

" Nothing of sponsors of today's show Intel's core I seven processor of Pamela and it dot com.

It's actually a lot slower than the average for this program this is because it's taking its sweet time to make sure that all the data it's been top of it. It has magnificently progress is possible.

" Last week Moroccan had a chance to talk to PC mag that comes Robert -- about HDTV buying tips for every price range if you ride an HDTV go back the last week and watch it right now. But we stood the opportunity to ask Robert what it felt with a -- and look out for it 2009. Here's what the man had to say."
" As fear comes so close what do you see as being significant in terms of pricing and technology you see things getting cheaper Canon pennant you know level out."
" For things like Blu-ray players than they have in the pressed on that and throughout the year we've seen steady declines and prices for that excuse me. However with televisions it seems like they want to try to hold the price point for. Introducing new models or new features and their careful not to introduce too much once they can have something fresh for the following years comes. However as soon as any he's been -- for even a couple weeks you'll you'll see the price start to decrease over time consistently. To a point where it's a plateau and has kind of done until the until the end of life in a model no longer available. That's a trend that's just consistent throughout time so if you're really interest in something brand new that just came out. Or you're interested and maybe some men just came out right now wait for the next models come out -- the press on what you're looking -- and stifling and drop songs don't wait too long. And that's just fairly standard buying advice that."
" Is screen technology going to stick with being plasma versus LCD is that going to stay the trend."
" That will that will for foreseeable future they do have the first Vallely. The axial won the eleven -- beauty I mean it is it is a world class display but it's eleven inches and it's 2500 bucks and it's. It's one of a kind that's like cost that much and they --"
" Action is that this a dead on the way to go."
" Nearly dead there the last there's only two companies left making rear projection TVs maybe three. They're all getting out of it than in the short in the short term they really there are bailing out quickly for a lotteries I mean I think one of last major announcements for this technology. Will be the laser view from Mitsubishi is coming out and 65 plus and screen sizes the fact -- he's a laser light engine to generate -- green. A lot of people -- interest and and it I've I've seen it running and it's great but it's still it has all the inherent characteristics. And flaws relive our PT that are we're projection TV technology including. Bad viewing angles and in generally you're never gonna give it absolutely terrific contrast that of that kind of display system due to internal light scatter if nothing else. Andy's still consider Blu-ray to be the choice to go to for 1080. There are new forms of 1080. 1080 PD OT at least that's available now with my DISH Network service that I use it in the lab. However I would really like to see the apps that bit rates that they're offering on this content again. When you talk about the DA TFC standard for digital television. As far as HD broadcast goes they've defined a total of about six when he megabit for audio and video combined. You go to Blu-ray and you can push it upwards of fifty megabit if you wanted to now said twenty negative for broadcast television HD. Where they ever had that and in in most cases they try to go far less on that now. The advances in new video Kodak's particularly with mpeg four could make you now. I have bit rate at ten megabit and video signal look pretty good at HD resolution. However that nothing beats just having. Fire as the bandwidth available to with the Blu-ray player for for everything from just motion to special effects like fire. Anything -- moving and a lot of detail and it like water rapids the water moving or fire burning those kind of things are very green and moving graphics when you see like transitions on your favorite sports games and things like that those are very difficult -- and you that three typically see your break up your other. Just bad gunk on the TV they don't want us."

" The game what I want to do a little."
" Because I'm I'm going through a litany of ways to kills on the computers in my head or people but it biking has. Walk into his room fire his computer and check it from there you know get a copy of spyware doctor. And loaded up in kill when everything's right there why do you need to do it for your."
" Yeah that's very very intrigued by this whole process like do they hate each other does he not speak to his room saying that did you steal -- sounds like a pack rat that the whole. Or -- is covered in stuff and he can't make it over to apparently he -- like a robot. Make it -- this is the computer to fix the did fix the botnet if you I mean. It seems like gave personable kind of guy. Absolutely so for those of you may not -- botnet is a network of computers under the control of a bot herder I believe they're called a -- It's controlling them to send out spam or you know do something like initiated denial of service attack on another machine. On the if you notice your computer lagging or what is from the other science lagging -- or like programs running in your task manager that you're not familiar -- door. Or oh emails bouncing back that you don't remember sending. -- on our signing on email to -- spent not enough to Viagra to stand. Yeah there's a lot of different signs he can look for if you're wondering that if your PC is actually a botnet."
" If you're skiing your little brother comes over to browse naughty stuff happens also -- it's gonna even free stuff and certainly machines 40% slower beat him with a stick and then go out buy something like spyware doctor antivirus."

" Any Maris and in -- it I'm -- Is how you might tell from your Mac could you could if you had access whose machine you can set up you know -- you promote access are running applications nosing around there. But that's what I'm curious further all the folks that TV hole I -- lifestyle in the audience it's in this instructions for how you might use. A packet sniffer to scan the traffic come being from that machine to see if you can identify it bot infested machine that way if you if there's a great way to do that.

" As you know last week extreme text Jason cross is here -- with a hunting video card buyers guide. And while he was here he graciously answered a few more questions. What folks expect to see in the graphics card and processor market next year."
" Did you -- back this week to talk about PC trend in 2009. That year that is coming up soon bigger better faster more right yes we're done."
" That was so easy and here I AMD actually playing catch up with Intel -- catch up to the I seven."
" And they will they won't catch up in price either. Now I don't know aren't supposed Stoller another will be more portable and I mean I won't be as expensive as the -- Ivins probably that's -- get -- coming out which phenom with their new Quad Core architecture. This you know in 2000 and kind of had its problems and they worked out some of those problems and they're moving to a new manufacture the 45 nanometer manufacturing process and that'll be -- Probably gonna start off being -- to only. And and sporting hero three coming soon early in the year 2000 and that's gonna take Andy through 2009. And they're supposed to be we haven't seen -- yet we don't know what they're supposed to be awesome over clockers unlike you the female ones you know users supposed to be. How lot of headroom to that are actually be that'll be big with the disease Korea yes. How about on the graphics card front. The graphics card right. Nobody -- for certain but direct X eleven is gonna come house or around upon the windows seven which is probably sometime late. 2000 so. And that it was going to have graphics cards it's -- the X eleven stuff which is cool. According stuff there is that desolation. And computers computers is a big. With a solution. Desolation is taking -- low -- gong rough model and breaking down into a bunch of little volumes to make it smooth for looks means that. And the future of computers are. It's sort of a subset direct X is -- language can be used for non graphics things. Who spoke kind of like you know could there's -- seals and other standard coming out soon that Apple's board with. And coming from the cross groups in people who do open GL so it's using that API did you you know. Physics and that you trans coding and the image processing and all those other things people wanting that are not. 3-D graphics to finally like you'll have a real reason to buy graphic card to make Photoshop faster. Yeah I mean actually Photoshop does that he has for -- has some features that right now but there's no one language these open geo because all they do is panning and stuff they have dual image processing that. With that. So did this to give a -- a way to do that in a way that. Isn't is supported equally wild cards to its gonna be one languages it's direct X so in this with -- moment the darkness bind them paths they don't have to worry about well this is an app that runs that scooter and -- on the cards and a guy has there ATI stream stuff and -- TI cards and finally a language that. Are are both -- Nvidia and ATI going to play nice since removed. You know work with a common language to make it easy for developers are they gonna keep push its gonna be. Direct X -- computers can be that language and open CL is another one so and I don't know which one's gonna take off obviously direct X is only gonna be you know windows platforms. And apples on board with a conceal things. Are we gonna see integrated GPU's in the CPU core in our integrated GPU's like in the chipset going to -- lasted 2009. They're gonna suck less put it you know as they get better also soul so to do all the add in cards get better and the games and everything get more strenuous and so it's their relative performance I don't really see changing you know and they're still limited by memory and so we're gonna have from Intel though. Possibly next year. What's on their road map is to build in that. The degree graphics into -- you can you possibly not mr. in this thing died in in the same CPU package of IC views of CPU. And integrated memory controller but they have on the horizon and the graphics core audience there is that as he stood on mostly -- net books and really small low power Verizon's there. And end corporate knowledge of all the places that get integrated graphics now that's -- having great graphics on the motherboard right in the core -- seven timeframe it's going to be. This -- you -- there was more space -- if you exports to. Yet but it I think obscure uses for thousands. Jason any other things you would think about and we should which beeping at about for 2009 Intel's Larry B might make its market they've always said. Late 2009 or maybe early twenties and that we don't know and we don't know all about it -- there was this weird. Architecture that does all its its a bunch of CPU like cores and can like course but it's not a -- process -- is not a cell processor and its X 86 compatible and they're doing the whole rendering pipeline in the software it's gonna support direct X on this thing but we don't can be fast -- Is it still trying to figure that's supposed to be competing with.
