What's new in Episode 153
STUFF
• We couldn't bribe the folks at Tesla Motors to let Roger take a spin at the wheel of the Tesla Roadster... but they did let him shoot video of the electric powered supercar that Cade 'test drove' for PCMag.. Hint: he wants one if somebody else will pick up the tab.
• High end CRT monitors for Graphics Pros? Most of 'em we know use LCD panels, Cjay. CRT's bigger than 21 inches with computer resolutions are hard to find. If you want the top o' the line, think $2000-$6000 10-16 bit perfectly back lit monsters such as Eizo's ColorEdge series, Sony's Luma, NEC's Professional MultiSync. Heck, Apple's Cinema Displays are common, but kind of low end for this crowd. (They look pretty good to us, tho.)
• Truth be told, we're still pretty happy with Dell's 22 inch widescreen for under $300! We're also not doing mad Photoshop work for Vogue or Vanity Fair.
• Wow... ShinyHappyPonies.com sold fast! March 30th, in fact. (Thanks for using GoDaddy... hope you used the DLTV code!)
• Notebooks, camcorders and other consumer electronics vs. luggage handlers: Jonnie wants to know if he should carry his Pelican 1520 on the plane, or if it'll be safe in the hold. Patrick would put biohazard stickers on it if it goes in the hold (and pull the expensive camera out first).
• After 10 years of loyal use, Joey's giving up on Winamp and wants to know what the best MP3 player software available is. Email your faves dl.tv@ziffdavis.com and let us know why you like 'em.
• Thanks to Eric for the in-show heads up that today is not Patch Tuesday. Microsoft dropped a special release to kill off a GDI vulnerability (aka the Cursor Exploit Fix.)
• "Where can I get a copy of the Firefox poster you showed on episode 147? What I really is just a jpeg to use for wallpaper." Gotcha covered, Greg. Here's the link where you candownload the world's cutest Firefox poster aka "Please don't break the Web" already sized up for your monitor.
• Yeah, Robert and Patrick are obsessed with Desktop Tower Defense.
• And Roger's still laughing about Geek One Liners.
NEWS
•  Will the rest of the record companies follow suit? Twice the bitrate of the regular DRM songs for 30 cents more... I suspect buying a CD is still a better deal, but DRM-free tunes are always a good thing.
• Microsoft Releases Cursor Exploit Fix..., not waiting for Patch Tuesday. Good thing. There's something wrong about cursor animation files being able to execute code.
• Repeat after us: "Do not open attachments."
• Kaleidescape Wins DVD Copying Case... 'cause they leave copy protection in place when the back those DVDs to its servers. (Did I get that right, Robert?) Will this open the doors for less expensive (and legal) DVD servers for home use.
MORE STUFF
• On Thursday: Leo Laporte, o' TWiT, The ScreenSavers and oh so many more places stops by and shows off some of his favorite OS X applications, starting with the Parallels Virtual Machine running Vista.
• We've also got your suggestions for offsite online enterprise storage, Winamp alternatives for Joey, a couple of domain name scams you should avoid, the viewer pic of the week (Email dl.tv@ziffdavis.com with 'tech pic' in the subject line!) and more!
• Hey everybody... DL.TV T-shirts are available at Jinx!

What's new in Episode 151
STUFF
• Your favorite net metering and bandwidth monitoring tools? You suggested DU Meter, $19.95 and NetMeter. They're mucho similar, and either one will give you an alarm before you exceed your monthly bandwidth allocation!
• Robert's in love with the latest update for the PS3, which includes Folding@Home... it's not just a gaming console and a fine Blu-ray player, it's a tool to better humanity's lot by fighting disease. Seriously. It's all about protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases. And some other improvements to the PS3 we'll talk about later. (Those deets are on the PS3 v1.6 update page
• DL.TV Folding@Home Team ID #: 57391. Care to join Robert in his our futile effort to catch up to HardOCP's incredible Folding@Home effort? You can track us on the DL.TV Folding@Home Stats Page... better yet, use that ID, 57391 and join us!
• Is a Core 2 Duo e6600 based PC enough to play back Blu-ray and HD DVD disks? We think so, Quincy. Just remember that you'll need Blu-ray and HD DVD drives. They're a tad pricey right now. (You'll need playback software, too!)
• Finding Robert's Geiger Counter Ringtone... Jose has a great site, FindSounds.com, for finding any kind 'o sound.
• "My child's been downloading a lot of movies... on P2P 'n torrent sites..." how much trouble is "Sleepless in the US" really in if the MPAA comes a knocking? Well, it depends SITUS, on how many movies he's left uploading for days on your home PC.
NEWS
•  FCC Launches Inquiry into ISPs to see if they're "restricting access to websites, favoring some sites over others, and if consumers are being affected.
•  Sprint Exec Announces WiMAX is "the mobile Internet" promises 19 cities by April, 2008.
• AT&T and Napster Ink Music Deal. Deal starts April 1st... guess that rumored $9.95 per month price point doesn't exist.
• The Onion Launches Online Video Project: The Onion News Network Should the Daily Show be worried? It's two clips a week on iTunes... for now.
• YouTube Announces Award Winners in Seven Categories. Congrats AskANinja.com! (And, no, Robert didn't weep when he watched The Kiwi. I'm shocked.)
ON THURSDAY'S SHOW
• Monitoring bandwidth on your router by going Linux! Will Patrick rattle can his notebook? And, of course... your questions.
