" Is an advertisement for GD GT dot com. Her boys website do with Peter Rojas I -- a phone call this morning he must not being able. Exactly. Counts that's. Given Google's objective. You and your boyfriend. What are plural of member of the thing on the show and it -- have so I made a phone call this morning that lasted like all the way from my house to work and it didn't drop out once. The evening adding -- seltzer -- supposedly right."

" AT and we want anybody -- a lot because their services problematic here -- Cisco and in new York and image -- where else but. -- case closely migrating to the 150 maker of -- what they've they've bought a bunch of companies just get access to it took it to make words and with which works a lot better over distances. So it's either that for the fact that. I have a problem with GPS guide on on my iPhone and was still under warranty so was allowed to trade it for refurbished iPhone. So not sure it was it was the the physical hardware problem that was -- on my dropped calls. But I noticed actually. This morning -- a certain actually that they must be doing so with towers is I've never in the history he's eighteen he had this one particular section of road not drop out."

" We -- Saturday is on the Revision 3 studios today I noticed when I was in the kitchen and I've never had reception building here we can kind of get it on the by the one window if you held it up here also make I was just on the right corner of the office notably if -- nose was on the window class but Jim's desk. Hot hot that was -- eighteen he worked in offices I had a lot of people emailing me asking you specifically if you had seen an improvement in your AT&T service over the past couple weeks I've."

" Well I've I've I've -- two sets of preferred players that might might might we -- purchased the new TomTom program the hundred dollar GPS program. And it would not. I couldn't get did you guess it ain't gonna -- easier -- your GPS antenna which made going to what was the real antenna it's just like the chip down in there and so I. Ice they're like okay that's a harbor feather they swapped out the phone forming. And that fixed and then like. -- there was I was in and out of town for the last couple weeks or last week and I was in town and I had the epic -- section of road they got back in -- forties later. And did not have the call for illness to the -- so I think ATT's rule out the new. You've -- with which should be really nice."

" We'll be talking more about Apple and particularly snow leopard later on in the shadows pink tie up the first think it's time to help someone in -- it covers question today comes from Linux he writes and a couple of Macs a couple of PCs a Compaq laptop and a very old at and laptop on my home network. The oldest PC is running XP. Percent of the XP machine as a file server for the rest of the network computers if Ike and how to do it. I'm trying to -- use all the computer stuff I have had been shut for -- about. I don't mind you -- Unix distress if they're required as a random on my old laptop."

" Alex in English that we love it when people recycle PCs and keep -- landfills that's the words thrown away entire he's feeling that it's not. Compass -- slightly competent at all and there's a pretty damn well because he -- stuff in the motherboard itself like."

" You can you can donated you can sell two or so -- to -- you can pay a recycler recycling he's giving to organizations that recycles them just. Don't throw them in the garbage you can't go ideal way to turn your way recycled papers box rip the heart itself apart if you can mean something's gotta be useful writers -- room. -- well. Yeah yeah if you -- like a thousand machines your corporation is a lot easier to sell those and it is to sell the parts missing box unless you sell -- on Craigslist or something like that -- is though it's really easy to turn your old machine do we really really useful network attached storage machine because servers generally don't require a lot of CPU power or huge amount of memory it's not like you're trying to -- Amazon.com. Just -- it to bits out over your home network. Free to ask is the classic it is an open source freeware -- that turned PC into an ftp it samba and AP server. Yeah -- box in your albeit. Systm episode sixty will walk you step by step through installing it figuring free yes it's pretty painless and it's pretty cool ones to. Yeah about them on -- and other free upgrades. Relatively units of a company called line technology. It boots off we USB flash drive and what you mix and match drives a different sizes it's specifically designed for Xbox and and they call -- because you can mix and match -- different sizes most -- your -- to have the exact same drive it right exactly. So it's similar to a Drobo. But there's no striking a parity DD if you -- recover from it -- hard drive you have to dedicate a single drive to store all the data off of the other drive -- all the parody it is is for a single drive. So the free version sports of the three drives the sixty dollar plus version supports up to six drives in it also has controls for user level commissions. In and basically and greatest desire to do one thing well it's supports USB network protocol and nothing else the one thing people notice. If you think of raid is being. A way to serve data and not as backup storage you should always have your rates have backed up on another. As -- somebody -- like Alter the storage and -- quality isn't my house. But if you if you don't the parity drive -- create and operate it really fast if you haven't need to move these around your your networks are superfast. Just one we'll walk you through the complete process. Installing and configure it."

" Yeah and something's gonna keep under consideration I wanna get large preferably durable drives is no point recycling old hard drives if they only hold. Forty or eighty gigabyte frivolous all the PCs in your house have like twenty or forty gigabyte hard drives. Which case we suggest you upgrade hoped he could. Yes and power usage if you're sensitive about energy uses some older machines might -- more -- migrate to export -- notebook are dedicated NASA clients there's lots of info available so definitely read it happens with its best for you."

" Yeah and I -- say the whole power a lot of people who like or are very gains convertible PCs to servers. It's just how hard it -- Well because the power consumption data mean if you're talking military you know you've gotta 300 watt power supplies fibers that you have not very efficient it's like leaving 300 possible for a twenty -- That's you did it means the whole idea is that for some people it's like it's gonna waste of electricity I think it's you know it's better you will more electricity than it -- and tired or go through the manufacturing cost of creating an -- new device like -- unity of like with a -- thing -- thousand gallons of fresh water 42 million volts of electricity -- greatest single car you know I use. So I would figure out like how much. Electricity and material isn't like you know yeah company BT -- take to build a single -- boxes but I've been probably takes more to build and use -- org -- how many years of electricity one yet it's not getting Greenhill."

" Our intrepid OS-X -- what is emerged from the icy waters of the Antarctic. Carrying with a OS-X ten dot sex and his decision about whether that is worth his body to upgrade. You're joining this is our penguins slash BP slash producer mr. Roger Chang. Do you really I've never seen you excited have to go bind an operating system but in the -- that it was a I think it was because there's thirty boxes one's -- fifty -- five -- family -- family. Them packed with these. Biggest change out our PC if you got G five earlier power PC processor anything. It part of the Apple tradition what about -- basically calling all the older hardware without security -- if you've been baggage around it's more secure her."

" A lot of security experts for for years since those ten releases you know it's fundamentally insecure system there are issues that any. You know moderate to advanced hacker to take advantage. -- Apple is said that they you know kind of the type of business sense. Some others you know a lot of other security expert says you've only got half the job -- still the other have to complete. With any either subsequent updates or registered both. Sort of -- like overrode buffer over over for flows. Buffer overflows any other they have be yet included a new malware detection in built. -- the last to detect to see if there's any malware or Trojan identified by signature by Apple's -- update. Will -- remove the malware just out of -- settlement and if so far all I understand that it just raises the flight you will not remove duplicate any buyers or or. To leave this anyway. Interesting what what whether big things are coming up with these you know leopard the 32 bit 64 bit a lot of people are saying snow leopards can be the first 64 bit top to bottom of the list that's oversee it only by Apple. -- it was kind of beaten into -- it's for the past six six months I since the snorkel meters going off here well as as it is currently it's a 32 bit OS by default when you booted it when you boot. The consumer version of -- store. You can't force it if you have one of the few machines that supports the -- Five machine to actually I would support yeah I fully supports 64 bit OS-X you know body MacBook pro lose. IMAX. Some of the Mac and you're Mac Pros. Even then though it defaults at 32 bit yet the hope on the six before every time you start to our country great descriptive. -- that you've you've you you have to do it so basically I guess Apple figured most machines are going to be running. Massive amounts of memory that takes advantage of the 64 bit operating system -- you. You know that. The four gigabyte limit is really the the attraction of 64 bit up memory. Addressing so. As as of now -- it'll only load three gigabytes of memory anyway -- and Apple spokesperson -- said you know. Does he managed to run 64 bit applications on 32 bit. All. And it. And it. And if so you know I -- 64 bit applications and test it sounds like it's time goes straight to -- so you know one of the few things he did was improve Mano which -- cut down the amount of -- they've included Microsoft Exchange the box cool. So if you live on stuff like that they don't because it's cool if your business user. One of the cool things with the dot Q why is now that the you can force. Icons will oh win multiple windows live within their respective icon of cool so instead of dumping additional icons on the donkey can basically -- Like I'm -- instances for whatever application those those are all the schools with certain kind of rationalize this everything and active and windows and this. Some other awesome things that you can check out our in the system preferences. Now. System preferences into it's awful lot of you any Chinese including you know parents. Which you basically remove the font smoothing options and if you. -- the bunch new pictures differently now actors so there's so little going on with the lowest annual already resorted forward happens in the in the review. Of talking about wallpaper for this stuff. Oh fine fine I. Right so we go on the desktop or a folder view of the cool things is if you're good night and you can now major icons."

" Super super gargantuan in this. Or if -- super tiny bit but you know that's again this is kind of one of the first is that -- doesn't have spruce up to the line. Now one of the interesting things is that with all these applications before when used to go to services it would have something in there but it didn't really matter what was business and useless. Now anything that's the services is kind of context based to the application -- so whether or not the application can use -- system losing that we are generic stuff that didn't make sense in any application yeah now you go quick services you. Before actually these don't have anything -- we've -- is that the new version of quicktime yes this is. Quick time ten or acts and what they've done is taken. Quicktime and they've basically cut off all the legacy stuff that in one they thought was holding it back causing too much bloat. They focus more on the East Timor and user interface. A lot more functionality and it just standard quick time there for example right now I had this video. And I can actually traded. So -- so if I want to I don't want this clip I can just selected here now suppose I wanna share this is gonna watch this video Accenture it do. Says it stops and trim. They can share through iTunes mobile me or -- You capture video so you can capture video you can it to capture video through US connected USB webcam in this case the -- here. I can captures. Screen. Second do screen capture recording post it note basically no longer have -- use no third party applications. What you lose though is a lot of the compatibility and export options that you. With the earlier quick time so if you're like in the video editing. Com you would kind of wanna make sure you some sort of version of pro. I had quicktime pro because it had installed and what happens is quicktime seven is installed you can use those options to -- but. Very few options as simply as always researcher favorite -- most important applications before you upgraded. The new operating system and the rest of the I mean this is just some of the features -- added there's a few more it's very increments so it's incremental it's a lot of polish it's basically a lot of polish a lot of the work that. That's gone with snow -- actually happened under the hood. They implement a new developer tools like -- CO which allows. Developers take advantage of the GPU. And give it other -- of this thing graphics in the same way that. And it is pushing suited to do general purpose computing on GPs so I'm I'm I'm guessing here this is not Soviet emigration Russia go by. You know. Maybe for security. You know that he knows you're happy with what you are UK. If it's -- the standard precautions when you surf on line about opening attachments. Even though it's OS-X there are you know the result our youth and there's malware there's vulnerabilities and you you want to be aware that. But if it's not you should start run round thirty votes or if you don't see compelling need like let's now let's quickly if you constantly record videos. On your eyesight camera you may be looking at this going like I've been waiting for that -- earth. You know I haven't noticed any real speed up annualized they're expecting that. And it's a little it's pared down a lot of the bloat. So if you feel that your installs -- low fat. You might wanna go toward that you can actually do the same thing by means and -- sounds like a thumbs up but no need to rush yes. And you know if you're gonna be picking up a new Mac with them before in the --"

" Looks like it's time for another website we just can't get enough. What's it that we just can't stay away from because he used to -- well this makes its tester. The irony is when someone had to do something on computer that's just a little too complicated to explain -- email the phone.

" Isn't spot I briefly in our interview with Tom Conrad from pandora a few weeks ago but only listeners in the UK in Europe had the chance to try the service without special invite. Luckily for at this guy. They even send an -- here and there proxy in the past couple weeks I was lucky enough to be able to test out the service. A -- size music streaming service with over one million registered users overseas the company functions by making licensing deals with major labels and offers a free ad supported version indicates subscription services well. It's -- apparent client pays not browser based like pandora the streaming tracks or Ogg Vorbis but if that's theory among them so they can't say anything your computer. We hear a little bit however they do show options for buying the tracks that suggested retailers obviously am running the US version of the app here. On some things are little different from our UK viewers are probably accustomed to. I'm not a 100% sure I don't know I'm really seeing the full. Offerings here if they just selected certain things -- the US."

" of the Bon Jovi album is still -- there it that's like on the front page of the UK version now the fact that -- Java there there we weren't born to follow 2009 so would. This also how is this I think you did -- is that I it would is it was do you have undiscovered music what makes it's so amazing because you've actually been. Excited about this."

" Yeah I have been excited about this particular great winning done us well what do you want to now. Every everything -- start. Well. I was initially a little concerned about the music selection that wasn't seeing anything from independent labels I think this is my personal taste on that is you dig a little bit deeper you do find things that are. Mainstream but also really cool to listen to like and a lot of stuff by the cure and new orders this definitely the mainstream stuff I I -- good as my playlist. I'm not exactly sure what deals they've worked out with the US senator areas of the various labels of the portrait in the UK and overseas I'm but it does seem that the selection is smaller and that some of our European counterparts which have almost four million tracks available on as of this this current date for streaming. The interface is super cool though. On -- you can see right here you've got your home screen that shows your top lists what's new. Miley Cyrus party in the US today yeah hey. You can see what tracks and albums are popular make playlist and searches to save for later as you see here as I mentioned that got my cure. And -- orders searches forty constantly listen to the radio which is right here by selecting which John as you wanna listen to you. And then the the dates that you want to search through all so. -- you can listen to alternative punk between the seventies and today. Which I thought you might be particularly. Interested in hearing -- after an attempted slash frightened to see which is -- on the list yet visited a mixture it's not like you're whittling down the selection when you search alternative and punks and and blues to that makes it's not gonna be. John is I don't like oh yeah. -- Yeah pretty much it does all this on us you can literally interesting combination and mix of music when you when you listen to the radio. I'm I like making the playlist alive I mean alternative cleanest with the offspring and Green Day. And you know black holes on and Black Sabbath. -- alternatives slash. Grosans -- and the best part is there's like zero offering -- a local cache of of one gigabyte. And the tracks are they start almost instantly this looks like us it's like playing nineteenth it's not really like playing something streaming having to wait for a long time for buffer."

" So this seems like something that's a little bit iTunes a little bit last -- them a little bit pandora and a little bit rhapsody in Amazon music store and is it is it. How is it so basically it's it's another option for purchasing and owning tunes with yet another format of ERM is it pretty much."

" Much yeah I mean it's got the iTunes ness of it where you can. Find a lot of mainstream tracks and find a lot of different music side based on recommendations from other people. And has a social networking aspect of it built in as well you can probably attracts last not a spam. Under the settings. You can see my age where your location is for your cash. -- tend. You can use and most I didn't really easy to do this you can pull up you're. Your cash a puzzling one gigabyte but apparently it starts at ten. -- wouldn't go up from there that's a good thing yes it's got up proxy detection last out of him scrambling. And -- on normalization a lot of different settings say competitors really useful was using a lot of tracks from a lot of different sources being able to normalize about the Rangers right that's definitely true I mean you're listening to something from the seventies and then you go on to something more modern day there might be a little bit of difference in the in the in the volume there running monopoly different -- things things change over time things change from album to album even from the same artist so."

" I think I think you see that it's another avenue for this they're going down so they -- I'd downside I can see from this is if you purchase the tunes they're definitely gonna have here I'm."

" 28 can actually purchase yet in the US it's only available in like four or five countries over here and the UK -- can use a wondered for years ago when her biggest here. You won't be able to finance it. Would you like be able to purchase from the Amazon's store iTunes users that's guessing I think it probably sends it either to iTunes or some other music retailer not sure you can purchase it directly through spot -- We're now to double check them -- one. But the selection is really good you know I'm looking through this more I think this is the -- probably the full selection of that got of their for testing purposes. And that's available on Mac PC clinics and a free BS -- over wine. -- right now I'm pretty much every platform you could possibly want it to you. If you could only -- like -- only had access to one music service and assuming this was the full version of it. Would this be the one ion. I mean I yes yeah I would either -- iTunes for me I mean I use. To get here and free tracks. And I get here and free tracks off of iTunes -- songs that would have some kind of deer and free option option when downloading. Music off of spotted fire from their partners and I would probably do. -- pretty cool. Yeah I just love doing searches and finding music on there like I haven't really -- time rockin' out to my old school. Alternative tracks from 1994. Trade me for an --"

" I've been about Steve Winwood ten years in a Michaels isn't like you know we'll -- price for groove we'll sort of like your voice is -- an outlet of -- guy would ever buy but it's a silent listen to."

" Yeah I forget to check on that so many of our UK or European listeners who know how they purchase music through spotted by -- strictly through spot fire. Or through on third party retailers -- vendors or whatever it is let us know all double check after the show but if you wanted to chime in and talk about how you like to buy your music with -- Let us now on overall I'm really looking forward to be US release this product I'm holding man more independent labels. And that tracks to their catalog and -- right now I'm having a lot of fun like I said listening to stuff that's on there already. On this is the big game changer I think for the industry when it gets here it's already making more money for universal in Sweden iTunes this front. So I don't know how big of -- what -- the market that because that by Sweden -- universal's lot and yeah and -- I mean universal. Artists are doing better on spot -- fine -- iTunes."

" Is this is just like it is just like the -- putting his -- together and beta -- it your with a group to the US aren't there are partnerships with the labels it is brought to us in part by -- major labels just there to cut back. Apple's iTunes store but hey if they do such a pretty good job of them complaining -- but it's it's interesting because as I know a lot of the record labels are looking for ways to sell music. That doesn't involve having to bend over to Steve Jobs on the of course."

" Hot hot hot."

" Right I ended up Patrick example and convert all the batteries in my house alkaline to rechargeable. All charged the batteries can find are rated at one point two -- and not the standard one point five well. I'm finding that the rechargeable that still necessary for the devices to work properly this problem can be seen in everything from the eighty swing to a stereo TV Norma. How did Patrick overcome this issue and what would you suggest that I can do my part returning us to."

" A career and it. Well you can go pastoral existence stop consuming electricity separately car and vegetables and -- I think he's talking about batteries specifically oh okay well okay. -- I'm thinking you're looking at the packages and not actually buying using the batteries or your -- a lot more sensitive to voltage variations in mind is. Pretty much all nickel metal high drives write at one point two -- for the energizes power acts or whoever personals and other big brand. And -- hope -- is that digital camera remote controls toys and yes the dreaded. Six fresh alkaline if retreated those babies run through those things like. Milk mutates if you're if you're probing and his feelings run very quickly and I just made it. That's how we keep seamless active all the time yeah freshmen turtles. Yeah I think it was. It was batteries -- you know whether the list battery your card with you my battery your notebook will be outlined today -- a -- to digital camera or whatever -- to just start at a certain level. And they drop as the charge to -- over time. Some devices might refuse to -- the battery at one point -- able to lower but I haven't seen that problem too often and I haven't seen it at all recently. By the way have any chance to try them out myself with the ability is moto from Duracell rechargeable lasted twice as long as I flashlight as energizes. Despite having a lower really an operating on the box like I think the -- street until the 2000 -- apps. And they energized the Apple is like 24:50 -- trusting the terrorist cells are also those self discharge -- and hydra being the holders charge extremely well like after six months they should still have 90% of charge. A lot of folks who love -- ngos and -- batteries and local hamburger shop swears by power X for all the little 92 doubly. Hand held batteries on the -- was a couple -- you check out.

" Well Jim I've had several friends have minor or major problems that time machine lost files daily to restore after back up or failure actually back up the files properly with -- didn't find out until their hard drive -- notebook crashed. And what to restore from time machine discover the time machine created back ups that were actually functional yeah. So I don't record and you actually you have friends and friends have had the same experience that -- David Pogue who's missing manuals I love. Just because in theory something works doesn't mean it actually works in reality lot of people and I'm sure I'm gonna get a thousand even. I'm sure that -- you know I've I've I know a lot of highly technical people who have not been able to recover hard drive five times and they're not happy beings are not scroll around by modifying their creators and type machine to wait time she was designed to be used by Apple and they've had. Massive issues Roger actually everio Roger Chang. Has had some particularly bad experiences his entire time he back it was able to restore EV to a newly installed hard red after the current version. First current hard drive died because of file bulk encryption issues so he thought he had a back up or does have a back up but it doesn't really matter because partly she wouldn't. Restore the files look. But Iraqis in something like carbon copy -- it's free it's little more robust and it's capable of creating a bootable copy of an entire drive. Let's system overhead and -- you know the resulting back -- have always worked for Roger and for me and for just about everyone else -- of these current copy -- Call me crazy I'm not -- in time machine and a lot of people know who did it by time machines are very sad for it yes. Yes yes sorry and we Apple iPod use it all day iPhone I'm -- happy with -- again now that I can actually use it to make calls coming up in San Francisco. Time machine I'm not feeling any measurable. Rain."

" Well one last question for -- and Monticello Arkansas. Matt writes a decent just a method for clearing -- hard drive involving data before it's only PC would be better to buy a new hard drive for the PC. RH well Matt. Everyone should wipe the hard drive for -- selling trading or donating your PC to charity. We recommend dare to boot and -- it's a free download from www. Deep end up pork. Just down on the ice so burning to a CDR to create a boot disk CD burner XP is great for this. Then say your PC to boot from the optical drives tossing your copy of and if you're not complete it you fire obliterates a single pass of random ones and -- of your drive for the Department of Defense short white which is free passes. If you've got a core duo processor you'll need the deep end 2.0 prima at least to get the full performance according to deviant people."

" By the way if you think -- Gutman one which is 35 passes which even Goodman doesn't think is necessary you should pull the drive out of the machine -- melted into repeat it over -- and use it as people.

Interesting what what whether big things are coming up with these you know leopard the 32 bit 64 bit a lot of people are saying snow leopards can be the first 64 bit top to bottom of the list that's oversee it only by Apple. -- it was kind of beaten into -- it's for the past six six months I since the snorkel meters going off here well as as it is currently it's a 32 bit OS by default when you booted it when you boot.

As as of now -- it'll only load three gigabytes of memory anyway -- and Apple spokesperson -- said you know. Does he managed to run 64 bit applications on 32 bit. All. And it. And it. And if so you know I -- 64 bit applications and test it sounds like it's time goes straight to -- so you know one of the few things he did was improve Mano which -- cut down the amount of -- they've included Microsoft Exchange the box cool.

Now one of the interesting things is that with all these applications before when used to go to services it would have something in there but it didn't really matter what was business and useless. Now anything that's the services is kind of context based to the application -- so whether or not the application can use -- system losing that we are generic stuff that didn't make sense in any application yeah now you go quick services you. Before actually these don't have anything -- we've -- is that the new version of quicktime yes this is. Quick time ten or acts and what they've done is taken. Quicktime and they've basically cut off all the legacy stuff that in one they thought was holding it back causing too much bloat. They focus more on the East Timor and user interface. A lot more functionality and it just standard quick time there for example right now I had this video. And I can actually traded.

With the earlier quick time so if you're like in the video editing. Com you would kind of wanna make sure you some sort of version of pro. I had quicktime pro because it had installed and what happens is quicktime seven is installed you can use those options to -- but. Very few options as simply as always researcher favorite -- most important applications before you upgraded. The new operating system and the rest of the I mean this is just some of the features -- added there's a few more it's very increments so it's incremental it's a lot of polish it's basically a lot of polish a lot of the work that.

" Isn't spot I briefly in our interview with Tom Conrad from pandora a few weeks ago but only listeners in the UK in Europe had the chance to try the service without special invite. Luckily for at this guy. They even send an -- here and there proxy in the past couple weeks I was lucky enough to be able to test out the service. A -- size music streaming service with over one million registered users overseas the company functions by making licensing deals with major labels and offers a free ad supported version indicates subscription services well. It's -- apparent client pays not browser based like pandora the streaming tracks or Ogg Vorbis but if that's theory among them so they can't say anything your computer. We hear a little bit however they do show options for buying the tracks that suggested retailers obviously am running the US version of the app here. On some things are little different from our UK viewers are probably accustomed to. I'm not a 100% sure I don't know I'm really seeing the full. Offerings here if they just selected certain things -- the US."

" of the Bon Jovi album is still -- there it that's like on the front page of the UK version now the fact that -- Java there there we weren't born to follow 2009 so would. This also how is this I think you did -- is that I it would is it was do you have undiscovered music what makes it's so amazing because you've actually been. Excited about this."

" Yeah I have been excited about this particular great winning done us well what do you want to now. Every everything -- start. Well. I was initially a little concerned about the music selection that wasn't seeing anything from independent labels I think this is my personal taste on that is you dig a little bit deeper you do find things that are. Mainstream but also really cool to listen to like and a lot of stuff by the cure and new orders this definitely the mainstream stuff I I -- good as my playlist. I'm not exactly sure what deals they've worked out with the US senator areas of the various labels of the portrait in the UK and overseas I'm but it does seem that the selection is smaller and that some of our European counterparts which have almost four million tracks available on as of this this current date for streaming. The interface is super cool though. On -- you can see right here you've got your home screen that shows your top lists what's new. Miley Cyrus party in the US today yeah hey. You can see what tracks and albums are popular make playlist and searches to save for later as you see here as I mentioned that got my cure. And -- orders searches forty constantly listen to the radio which is right here by selecting which John as you wanna listen to you. And then the the dates that you want to search through all so. -- you can listen to alternative punk between the seventies and today. Which I thought you might be particularly. Interested in hearing -- after an attempted slash frightened to see which is -- on the list yet visited a mixture it's not like you're whittling down the selection when you search alternative and punks and and blues to that makes it's not gonna be. John is I don't like oh yeah. -- Yeah pretty much it does all this on us you can literally interesting combination and mix of music when you when you listen to the radio. I'm I like making the playlist alive I mean alternative cleanest with the offspring and Green Day. And you know black holes on and Black Sabbath. -- alternatives slash. Grosans -- and the best part is there's like zero offering -- a local cache of of one gigabyte. And the tracks are they start almost instantly this looks like us it's like playing nineteenth it's not really like playing something streaming having to wait for a long time for buffer."

" So this seems like something that's a little bit iTunes a little bit last -- them a little bit pandora and a little bit rhapsody in Amazon music store and is it is it. How is it so basically it's it's another option for purchasing and owning tunes with yet another format of ERM is it pretty much."

" Much yeah I mean it's got the iTunes ness of it where you can. Find a lot of mainstream tracks and find a lot of different music side based on recommendations from other people. And has a social networking aspect of it built in as well you can probably attracts last not a spam. Under the settings. You can see my age where your location is for your cash. -- tend. You can use and most I didn't really easy to do this you can pull up you're. Your cash a puzzling one gigabyte but apparently it starts at ten. -- wouldn't go up from there that's a good thing yes it's got up proxy detection last out of him scrambling. And -- on normalization a lot of different settings say competitors really useful was using a lot of tracks from a lot of different sources being able to normalize about the Rangers right that's definitely true I mean you're listening to something from the seventies and then you go on to something more modern day there might be a little bit of difference in the in the in the volume there running monopoly different -- things things change over time things change from album to album even from the same artist so."

" I think I think you see that it's another avenue for this they're going down so they -- I'd downside I can see from this is if you purchase the tunes they're definitely gonna have here I'm."

" 28 can actually purchase yet in the US it's only available in like four or five countries over here and the UK -- can use a wondered for years ago when her biggest here.

But the selection is really good you know I'm looking through this more I think this is the -- probably the full selection of that got of their for testing purposes. And that's available on Mac PC clinics and a free BS -- over wine. -- right now I'm pretty much every platform you could possibly want it to you. If you could only -- like -- only had access to one music service and assuming this was the full version of it. Would this be the one ion.

Music off of spotted fire from their partners and I would probably do. -- pretty cool.

Or through on third party retailers -- vendors or whatever it is let us know all double check after the show but if you wanted to chime in and talk about how you like to buy your music with -- Let us now on overall I'm really looking forward to be US release this product I'm holding man more independent labels. And that tracks to their catalog and -- right now I'm having a lot of fun like I said listening to stuff that's on there already. On this is the big game changer I think for the industry when it gets here it's already making more money for universal in Sweden iTunes this front. So I don't know how big of -- what -- the market that because that by Sweden -- universal's lot and yeah and -- I mean universal. Artists are doing better on spot -- fine -- iTunes."

" Is this is just like it is just like the -- putting his -- together and beta -- it your with a group to the US aren't there are partnerships with the labels it is brought to us in part by -- major labels just there to cut back. Apple's iTunes store but hey if they do such a pretty good job of them complaining -- but it's it's interesting because as I know a lot of the record labels are looking for ways to sell music.

" Right I ended up Patrick example and convert all the batteries in my house alkaline to rechargeable. All charged the batteries can find are rated at one point two -- and not the standard one point five well. I'm finding that the rechargeable that still necessary for the devices to work properly this problem can be seen in everything from the eighty swing to a stereo TV Norma.

" A career and it. Well you can go pastoral existence stop consuming electricity separately car and vegetables and -- I think he's talking about batteries specifically oh okay well okay. -- I'm thinking you're looking at the packages and not actually buying using the batteries or your -- a lot more sensitive to voltage variations in mind is.

And -- hope -- is that digital camera remote controls toys and yes the dreaded. Six fresh alkaline if retreated those babies run through those things like. Milk mutates if you're if you're probing and his feelings run very quickly and I just made it. That's how we keep seamless active all the time yeah freshmen turtles. Yeah I think it was.

Recovering to another Mac or anything in between so what is the real --"

" Well Jim I've had several friends have minor or major problems that time machine lost files daily to restore after back up or failure actually back up the files properly with -- didn't find out until their hard drive -- notebook crashed. And what to restore from time machine discover the time machine created back ups that were actually functional yeah. So I don't record and you actually you have friends and friends have had the same experience that -- David Pogue who's missing manuals I love. Just because in theory something works doesn't mean it actually works in reality lot of people and I'm sure I'm gonna get a thousand even. I'm sure that -- you know I've I've I know a lot of highly technical people who have not been able to recover hard drive five times and they're not happy beings are not scroll around by modifying their creators and type machine to wait time she was designed to be used by Apple and they've had.

First current hard drive died because of file bulk encryption issues so he thought he had a back up or does have a back up but it doesn't really matter because partly she wouldn't. Restore the files look. But Iraqis in something like carbon copy -- it's free it's little more robust and it's capable of creating a bootable copy of an entire drive. Let's system overhead and -- you know the resulting back -- have always worked for Roger and for me and for just about everyone else -- of these current copy -- Call me crazy I'm not -- in time machine and a lot of people know who did it by time machines are very sad for it yes.

Everyone should wipe the hard drive for -- selling trading or donating your PC to charity. We recommend dare to boot and -- it's a free download from www. Deep end up pork. Just down on the ice so burning to a CDR to create a boot disk CD burner XP is great for this.
