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...

by Jon Cole in Tech400 days ago

On this first Tekzilla show of 2011, Patrick and Robert ask viewers for their CES questions for this week’s conference. A viewer question opens up the proper show, asking some questions about how Windows 7 activation works. Ultimately, it boils down to easy activation for reinstallations with no hardware changes and rising difficulty as hardware changes or multiple devices come into play. Tuesday podcasts mean HD Nation and the end of 2010 means a Blu-Ray roundup. Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, Kick-Ass, Avatar, Battlestar Galactica,...

Tekzilla 172 – 4K HDTV, Pay By The MB Internet Is Coming!?!

by Jon Cole in Tech429 days ago

This episode of Tekzilla opens up with the recent statement by FCC chairman Julius Janikowski stating that metered internet plans are A-OK. This news isn’t great for tech enthusiasts who pull gigabytes of data through streaming services and such on a daily basis, especially with the general lack of competition on the high-speed ISP front. Patrick and Robert next help answer a viewer question about reducing static when using a computer, which has a lot of possible reasons and solutions. Next, Robert gets into the next step of his home theater...

This is Only a Test – Episode 21 – Massive Outtakes – 7/28/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech561 days ago

The Samsung Captivate is an impressive piece of hardware with a poor UI. Will’s replaced his iPhone 4 with the Android smart phone, and talks about the third-party solutions to its software problems. The Library of Congress has issued new exceptions to the Digital Millenium Copyright act, allowing people to jailbreak phones, and crack DVDs and games. StarCraft 2 came out this week, and Will’s been playing that on his own. He says the single-player challenges train players for multiplayer, but he hasn’t yet ventured online. A host...

Windows Weekly 133: A Fish Called Windows Audio Only

by Jon Cole in Tech796 days ago

Windows Weekly kicks off with some obligatory talk about Modern Warfare 2 and it seems that Paul is still addicted to the game. Paul also got a chance to appear on last week’s TWiT, which leads into some conversation about the future of TWiT (definitely worth listening if you’re invested in the content on Leo’s network, starts at about the 9:00 mark). Apparently, web browsers are still stuck in the past and Microsoft isn’t too happy about it. Security issues with Internet Explorer 6 are getting more and more overwhelming every day and...

Windows Weekly 130: Trapped, Like Carrots

by Jon Cole in Tech817 days ago

Modern Warfare 2 has seemingly infected all media this week, dominating the first half hour of Windows Weekly. The Call of Duty franchise leads to the topic of PC game distribution and Leo and Paul agree that Steam and Good Old Games take the cake. Paul discusses Windows 7 on netbooks, deciding that productivity is still difficult on the small screen though he thinks they’re capable of light computing and/or watching ripped movies. Leo shares his experiences with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Paul tries to reveal some of the features of the OS that...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 160

by Jonathan Downin in Games828 days ago

The Gamers with Jobs guys have always skewed towards the PC more than many others, so Torchlight is what has the group excited this week. The biggest pulls of this game continue to be its ability to suck you in, along with its $20 price point, and both aspects are duly are appreciated here. Forza 3 has been a surprise hit with the guys, and Uncharted 2 coop gets some negative comments. There is no topic of the week with Rob sitting in for Shawn. Instead, the guys for a more free-form discussion which leads into releases of this holiday season, the...

Windows Weekly 128: The Upgrade Conundrum

by Jon Cole in Tech833 days ago

This is a big week for Windows Weekly with the launch of Windows 7, for obvious reasons. At the top of the show, Paul and Leo talk at length about all of the issues on Microsoft’s end considering abrasive anti-piracy tactics implemented at the expense of consumers, including notorious false positives in the authentication process. Paul has been under plenty of scrutiny for the registry hack that he discovered that allows users to easily perform a clean install using upgrade-branded Windows 7 disks. Nonetheless, it’s a very useful, relatively...

After some quick Torchlight experiences, the guys touch upon Civilization, Windows 7 and Modern Warfare 2. Tyler also shares some Eufloria thoughts. Things take a sharp turn in the second half.

CastMedium Podcast 009 – 10.26.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech837 days ago

Episode 9 is here, but it almost wasn’t. Our secret podcasting machine decided to crash just as we hit the stop button after recording the first time around, but Monday is CastMedium Podcast day, so we sucked it up and did it all over again. I present to you, episode 009 – take 2. A lot happened in the podcast world last week so we are talking about it. 1UP’s new premier podcast, 4 Guys 1UP, had its first episode and it was a strong start. All 3 of us gush over The Engadget Show with Steve Ballmer, and express our dismay over the...

gdgt weekly 060

by Jonathan Downin in Tech837 days ago

Tired of hearing about Windows 7 yet? The opinions are the same here as they have been everywhere– it’s good. The guys get into the Apple updates and the iMacs seem to be the biggest win. Ryan laments that he would like to pick one up, but he just can’t make the move to a desktop. The Barnes and Nobel Nook ebook reader has caught everyone off-guard. Ryan brings up a good point here about how amazing it is that a company like B&N, with no history with technology, can bring such a strong product to the market. The Nook seems...

TWiT 218: Escape from Farmville

by Jonathan Downin in Tech837 days ago

Twitter continues to branch out with word that the teens are starting to control trending topics. Windows 7 is still the big news with everyone sharing their thoughts on the new operating system. It is almost impossible to find someone who is generally negative on Windows 7, and that’s about the biggest win any release of this magnitude can hope for. Apple has done their best to steal some of Microsoft’s thunder by releasing a slew of new products last week, and issuing a few new highly targeted ads. Net neutrality is back in the news...
