Hi Handelman listeners!

Sony Copy Protection

Listen to my Security Now! podcast for more information on the Sony copy protection fiasco. If you want all the gory technical details read this page at Sysinternals.com.

Verizon FIOS

Verizon FIOS is bringing very high speed Internet access to many areas of the country. Wish I could get it!

Recording TV on your PC

Turn your computer into a video recorder with a capture card and appropriate software.

Windows

• Sage.tv
• Snapstream

Linux

• MythTV

Stop Using Internet Explorer on Windows

Dump Internet Explorer, use Firefox. It’s safer and more powerful.

High Speed Cell Phone Data

Verizon Wireless is offering EVDO high speed data in many areas. It’s averaging around 600kbps - pretty good for a cell phone.

Notebook Computer Recommendations

For notebook computers I recommend IBM, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and Dell. I’m less fond of Gateway and HP.

Internet Phone Calls

If you want to make phone calls over the Internet here are the programs I recommend:

Computer to Computer (free)

• Skype
• Gizmo
• GoogleTalk

Computer to Phone (pennies a minute)

• SkpyeOut

Phone to Phone (around $15–20/month)

• Vonage
• Packet8
