Tekzilla 188 – Intel SandyBridge Recall!

by Jon Cole in Tech368 days ago

The latest episode of Tekzilla starts off with a veritable smorgasbord of topics, ranging from MacWorld gadgets, iPod warranties, and the situation in Egypt. The biggest piece of news by far is the recall of Intel’s new Sandy Bridge chipset, which is caused primarily by rogue SATA 3.0 ports. PC Perspective’s Ryan Shrout joins the show to fill us in on the details, which revolves around the fact that the problem is on the motherboards and that mobo manufacturers will be responsible for contact with consumers. Veronica got a chance to...

This is Only a Test – Episode 51 – Meet the Controversacast – 2/3/2011

by Alex Martin in Tech370 days ago

This week, Gary appears as his alter-ego, Ana, so they can pump out an information-packed podcast. They start with Google’s Honeycomb event, where Google detailed the forthcoming version of their Android operating-system, optimized for tablets. Intel recalled their Sandy Bridge motherboards, which would have caused errors in SATA drives over time. Will’s happy that they acknowledged and fixed the error quickly. Twitter followers of Google and Microsoft employees have been party to some petty squabbling this week. Norm explains exactly...

Tekzilla 185 – Best USB Flash Drive Speed Up Win 7 Install!

by Jon Cole in Tech379 days ago

There’s not much news to cover at the top of the show, with Patrick hitting on Apple’s success in the last quarter with $26 billion in revenue and huge iPad sales. Following up on a story from a previous week, Microsoft said that the vampiric data draw on Windows Phone 7 devices is due to strange third-party software, a problem which will be patched as soon as possible in an upcoming update. Robert gives a quick tutorial on installing Windows 7 with a USB flash drive, which segues perfectly into a discussion about the best brands for...

Engadget Podcast 230 – 01.24.2011

by Jon Cole in Games, Tech380 days ago

This week’s Engadget Podcast unsurprisingly starts with the news that Steve Jobs is sidelining himself for medical reasons, leaving Tim Cook in his place. In other Apple-related news, the company managed to push through an extremely successful quarter with huge profits probably stemming from unprecedented iPad adoption. HP/Palm has finally made their move on the tablet arena, with their plans going public in another one of Engadget’s comprehensive exclusive scoops. The 9-inch “Topaz” and the 7-inch “Opal” look...

This is Only a Test – Episode 49 – The REAL Problem with Dyson Spheres – 1/20/2011

by Alex Martin in Tech385 days ago

In a change to the regular format, the show starts with news. First is Steve Jobs’ temporary break from Apple. They imagine a Jobless Apple, discuss the next iPad, and wonder if Apple will continue production of the original iPad as a cheaper alternative. One alternative to Apple’s tablet will be HP’s offerings, details of which leaked this week. They also discuss Blackberry and Android alternatives. A corporate restructuring has left Google with Larry “PageRank” Page as CEO. They think Facebook might eventually need...

Tekzilla 181 – CES 2011!

by Jon Cole in Tech393 days ago

Patrick’s voice is shot from a very long CES, but luckily Veronica holds things together to barely dip into all of the big news. Tablets and 4G were just about everywhere, dominating much of the coverage through Motorola’s efforts and the newly revealed Android Honeycomb tablet-focused OS. Microsoft had a big conference, revealing many new features for the Kinect as well as the big sales of the device. Apple rounded out the week, with the Mac App Store and Verizon iPhone. Samsung introduced their 7000 and 8000 series televisions, which...

Episode 48 – Parole Set for 2/10 – 1/12/2011

by Alex Martin in Movies, Tech393 days ago

With CES content still being published on Tested, Will, Norm, and Gary start this podcast with a summary of some of the show’s standout products. These include the Motorola Atrix PC/Android-phone hybrid, Lady Gaga’s camera glasses, Sony’s 3D headset, and Toshiba’s glassesless 3D TVs. They also look at why no one trend emerged as a highlight of the show. Before moving on to the news, Gary’s research (for a science fiction project) into Lagrangian points prompts an interesting, if inexpert, physics discussion. The biggest...

CastMedium Podcast 065 – 12.30.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV408 days ago

I trade an Erik for a Jon this week so it is another 2 man show, and with the amount of topics and time spent on each, adding another person might have made this one clock in at around an hour. Mentions of some end of the year podcast specials start the cast, and then it is quickly (and awkwardly) into games. We are taking this podcast to talk about some of the biggest news of the year, and motions controls definitely rank up there. OnLive also gets a bit of time since it really is pretty incredible that it is not only available to the public, but...

The Engadget Show – 015: Sprint’s Fared Adib, Google TV creator Salahuddin Choudhary, Galaxy Tab, Nook Color, and more!

by Jon Cole in Tech438 days ago

This month’s Engadget Show starts off with an interview with Sprint’s Fared Adib, who’s responsible for the “procurement and development of products” from various mobile device manufacturers. He talks specifically about the groundswell of enthusiast support of the EVO 4G and how that helped pave the way for Sprint to be a major player in both the Android device and 4G speed arenas. They also delve into the necessity of Android fragmentation for the sake of carrier optimization. After an absolutely amazing segment where...

This is Only a Test – Episode 34 – Thursday Morning Hangover – 10/28/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech469 days ago

Starting with the smartphone adverts aired during the World Series, Will, Norm, and Gary are back to talk about the week’s tech happenings. They talk about their review of Logitech’s Revue media streamer, and why Jason Chen is wrong about Google TV. Will’s also been enjoying the syrupy espresso shots his Mypressi Twist is producing. In the news, Barnes and Noble have announced a color-screen Nook. But is it an underpowered tablet or an overpowered e-reader? A CNN Money article and comments from outgoing Chief Software Architect...

Game Scoop! Podcast: The Fallout from Fallout

by Peter Barta in Games473 days ago

It fast-paced action this week as the Game Scoop crew races through game after game. Kristine kicks things off with solid reviews for Fallout: New Vegas and Costume Quest. Fallout is buggier than it should be, but she still rated the game highly, especially for its pc delivery. Costume Quest, despite its repetition and short length, is adorable and enjoyable. The Wii appears to be focused less on motion control while Microsoft and Sony try to catch up in that department. NBA Jam will essentially be released unfinished, and you can expect...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 31

by Peter Barta in Games473 days ago

Lots of great conversation this week on Weekend Confirmed as Brian returns for some healthy debate. Not surprisingly, Medal of Honor starts things off and the usual reception continues – this game is rushed. Between bugs and engine inconsistencies, it’s a pretty disappointing product. Rock Band 3 gets some more great feedback, and Costume Quest is a simple but great game. Fallout: New Vegas receives plenty of attention, and serves up plenty of mixed emotions (depending on platform, apparently). The Warning delivers a couple points...

This is Only a Test – Episode 33 – In Like a Lion, Out Like a Churro – 10/20/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech477 days ago

“One part erudition to ten parts mental headbanging,” it’s Tested’s podcast with Will, Norm, Gary, and Giant Bomb’s Brad Shoemaker. Before they get to the only news story of the week, they talk about some of the tech they’ve tried. Norm and Gary were left underwhelmed by Apple TV, while Will absolutely hated Sony’s confusing stab at a Blu-Ray player featuring Google TV. Norm has tried the Cyborg RAT 7 mouse, which is almost as customizable as putty. The novelty of PC gaming hasn’t quite worn off...

Weekend Confirmed Live From PAX10

by Peter Barta in Games515 days ago

Live from PAX! Shane Bettenhausen joins the crew in this special edition of Weekend Confirmed. This week’s episode starts out with Whatcha Been Playin PAX-edition. Shane mentions Nexuiz before plugging Swarm. Brian tried out Killzone 3 and Jeff gives a decidedly unenthusiastic impression of Duke Nukem Forever. Dragon Age 2 gets a little attention and Garnett is stoked for Star Wars Force Unleashed 2. The remainder of the show is a Q&A with the live audience and ranges pretty wildly in topics. Metroid: Other M and Elemental:...

Engadget Podcast 212 – 09.11.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech515 days ago

Josh, Paul, and Nilay start off this week’s podcast with the somewhat morbid state of Nokia. Stephen Elop of Microsoft’s Business Division usurped OPK as the Finnish company’s CEO, which doesn’t inspire much optimism given the fact that Nokia needs more of a Steve Jobs than a Steve Ballmer. In other depressing mobile news, the guys talk a little bit about the bastardization of Android OS on various recent handsets, most specifically the Samsung Fascinate. For some reason, Verizon decided to force Bing search as the default...
