Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, AIM? Dave's "wondering if there is a website or software that will let you write once and post to many social networking sites in one go. I've seen sites that let you review many sites from one page, but are there sites that go that one step further." Veronica says Ping.fm is the way to go, and demos it on the show.
Dave also asks, "Whats the deal with mobile carriers in the US. In the UK the 4 main carriers give you excellent coverage almost everywhere, unless you live out in the middle of nowhere. We also get lots of good value bundles and free services too. Seems like US carriers are more interested in making money than providing good coverage and services. What gives?"

Jay's wondering, if he bought a brand new top of the line graphics card, would After Effects run faster and help him speed up his animation projects? Watch the video to find what happens to After Effects, Final Cut, Photoshop and other content creation apps if you upgrade your GPU!
Paul, "saw the segment with Veronica hating on AT&T over the cost of the MicroCell. MagicJack demoed a Femtocell for VoIP at CES. Would that work on an iPhone?" Sure, if it ever goes into production! They have to do some legal wrangling first!
