After geeking out over Logitech’s new Solar-charged keyboard, Patrick and Veronica dive into a viewer question asking about USB 3.0 and its significance in the current market. They get into some actual motherboards and PCI cards with 3.0 plugs, as well as some supported hard drive enclosures and such that take advantage of the transfer speed. As per usual, the Tekzilla crew shares a website “they just can’t get enough of”, this time highlighting a unique search tool called Blekko.
Patrick joins HD Nation co-host Robert Heron at Blu-Con, a conference all about Blu-Rays and HD video content. They discuss James Cameron’s thoughts on the format, the future plans of movie studios with regards to digital distribution, and rentals through services like Netflix.
Mark from Michigan emails in a question asking about home theater devices that can access local content. Veronica talks about DLNA, a common standard for content sharing from home networks and over various file formats, which is built into devices like the Playstation 3 and even newer HDTVs. The show closes out with a cool tip to printing via an iPad without the 4.2 update.
