Gene’s question regarding HDMI through a receiver…
I just listened to this via podcast and found that a “midrange” Denon receiver (MSRP $2000) has three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output for the monitor function. Don’t know if this passthrough is HDCP compatible but Denon’s no slouch of a manufacturer so I’d bet they are. This should be confirmed first though. Hope this helps…John.

Leo talked a bit about how France is trying to mess over Apple with the iTunes business. Perhaps Apple should invade France. It doesn’t take too much trouble. Ask the Germans.

Also please be aware that HDMI does not guarantee HDCP. Some cheaper TVs have HDMI ports that do not support HDCP. Buyer beware. But with any decent manufacturer this is not an issue. Its only the low-end stuff.

They both are. ;) HD-DVD and Blu-ray have a flag that downgrades the video to 960×540. BUT the initial titles will not be using this flag. But there is nothing to stop them from using it on future titles. B&K seems to be relying on the good will of the movie studios which is never a good idea.

Hi there. I enjoy listening to your show. I was listening yesterday when it occurred to me that Microsoft has a promotion your listeners would really love but may not know about.

I work for Microsoft’s Systems Builder team. Our job is to help White Box PC manufactures build and sell quality computers. Having listened for some time now I know that you do not have vendors on to promote their products and I truly think that’s one of the great things about your show. You give real opinions having used the products or service yourself, not some marketing guy paid to sell their stuff. I do however, think your Windows listeners would be interested in this and if you’re comfortable you can pass it on.

Microsoft is currently running a promotion called Buy Local. We have spent a bunch of money promoting www.localpcbuilder.com . The goal here is to start to build some brand recognition around White Box PCs. The promo is really great, end users can claim bonus packs for their Windows purchases that includes among other things, a free D-link wireless router. It pretty simple, just buy (and activate) Windows purchased from a local PC builder and you can claim these bonus packs. The really neat thing is that this only offered on Windows purchased from the Systems Builder channel… no multi national OEMs. If an end user is having problems finding a local System Builder they can just use the partner locator tool at the top of the page to find someone near by. Our partners love this part because more than 60,000 people have clicked through to the partner sites to shop for PCs.

If you want more information please check out the site www.localpcbuilder.com for the details.

Yes, Leo, what “waldo” is saying does work, albeit his many puntuation and spelling mistakes. Perhaps Kyle in Nebraska was using a different version of Microsoft and something was going wrong. There’s always something wrong with windows…And as for what “mrledoux” said, I would just add that unless you have Opera, it is not a good idea to delete IE. I say Opera only because it is the only browser that will let you use websites that require IE, such as Sony Connect Music Store because when the website says to the browser, “Hi! What browser are you?” Opera will say, “Internet Explorer.” Of course, it is a good idea not to use IE de to its neverending “severe” vulnerabilites.

iMac Intel Core Duo: Unexpectedly restarting when waking from sleep. Several users have reported an issue where the iMac Core Duo restarts unexpectedly after being awakened from sleep.

- Continued wireless difficulties — dropped networks, speed issues In our iMac Core Duo special report, we covered an issue where AirPort-based connections are lost and cannot be re-established after the iMac Core Duo wakes up from sleep.

eMac logic board failures, freezes and jumbled displays (#4): Turning off ATI extensions can temporarily resolve; Pictures. We continue to report on failure of the logic boards in some eMacs. eMac models introduced in 2004 appear to be the most commonly afflicted.

- Security Update 2006–002 1.1 (#4): General fixes. If you are experiencing overall system slowness, or interface oddities after applying Security Update 2006–002 1.1, try the following procedures: (THROW THE PIECE OF SHIT IN THE GARBAGE!)

- MacBook Pro Special Report follow-up: More abnormal noises from “some” units. More nits have abnormal noises from some units In addition to the various, occasionally disrupting noises covered in this section of our MacBook Pro special report, users are now reporting a new sound affectionately referred to as the “cow-fan-noise.”

The new noise seems to be associated with a fan located under the right side of the MacBook Pro’s keyboard. Most users say the noise sounds like a fan is trying to startup then fails several times in a row. Some users have described the noise as akin to the “mooing of a distant cow.”

HEY Apple Kool Aid Drinkers!! Mooooooo!

Apple has released an update to QuickTime 7 that fixes a security hole.

Apple says the QuickTime 7.0.1 update fixes a security issue where a QuickTime Movie containing a maliciously crafted Quartz Composer object could leak data to an arbitrary web location.

- Friday, March 24 2006
Apple 30″ Cinema Display: Distortion, brightness issues. Users are reporting a variety of distortion and pixel misfire issues with the 30″ Apple Cinema Display.

THESE ARE ALL REAL HEADLINES FROM macfixit.com , A Mac Onwers “self help” site!! (Guess because they CAN’T TRUST APPLE!!)

Leo is always falling behind in getting the podcasts of these shows out to the hungry public it seems. I know, he’s working on it as fast as he can, etc… So if editing the show is perhaps one of the bottlenecks, and you have Premiere Elements, try it, you might like it. I make my own personal podcast from the stream so I can listen to it a couple more times during the week. I record .wav at the full 48 kHz sterio, which is overkill for a stream of course, but it makes for a much smaller conversion, or .pek file in Premiere so it loads faster. Then I might play with the zoom a little to get the best definition of the graphical representation of the audio in Premiere and then in less than eight, yes eight minutes, 1Hr. 38min. and some seconds of pure Tech Guy with perfect split-second transitions is ready for export as PCM wave audio. Run the resulting file through your favorite audio compression program and in less than 20 minutes total work time, you too can be riding down the street with today’s Leo-cast in your pocket!

Leo would have to add his preamble and postscript and maybe another sponsor or two so it might take him another 5 minutes or so. I should time the whole process from absolute beginning to end instead of just the editing process but, maybe next time. I’d be interested to know if there’s someone out there with a faster method for editing that’s still oh, under a $100 or so. I bought Premiere for video editing on Leo’s recommendation but he never said it was such a useful tool for just audio files.

Tha’r, I’ve said ma’ piece! If it helps someone else out great but if it facillitates the catch and release of the rich baritones (there’s only so much an equalizer can do to a squeaky internet stream) encapsulated in a Tech Guy podcast, then the world is an even better place!

Ricky,

Read for yourself, remember that OS X claims to be based on UNIX (actually BSD), hence has the same vulnerabilities:
Aberdeen Group says Linux/UNIX is as vulnerable as Windows.

“Contrary to popular misperception, Microsoft does not have the worst track record when it comes to security vulnerabilities. Also contrary to popular wisdom, UNIX- and Linux-based systems are just as vulnerable to viruses, Trojan horses, and worms,” Aberdeen’s report states.”

Hi there. I enjoy listening to your show. I was listening yesterday when it occurred to me that Microsoft has a promotion your listeners would really love but may not know about.

I work for Microsoft’s Systems Builder team. Our job is to help White Box PC manufactures build and sell quality computers. Having listened for some time now I know that you do not have vendors on to promote their products and I truly think that’s one of the great things about your show. You give real opinions having used the products or service yourself, not some marketing guy paid to sell their stuff. I do however, think your Windows listeners would be interested in this and if you’re comfortable you can pass it on.

Microsoft is currently running a promotion called Buy Local. We have spent a bunch of money promoting www.localpcbuilder.com . The goal here is to start to build some brand recognition around White Box PCs. The promo is really great, end users can claim bonus packs for their Windows purchases that includes among other things, a free D-link wireless router. It pretty simple, just buy (and activate) Windows purchased from a local PC builder and you can claim these bonus packs. The really neat thing is that this only offered on Windows purchased from the Systems Builder channel… no multi national OEMs. If an end user is having problems finding a local System Builder they can just use the partner locator tool at the top of the page to find someone near by. Our partners love this part because more than 60,000 people have clicked through to the partner sites to shop for PCs.

If you want more information please check out the site www.localpcbuilder.com for the details.

Aberdeen Group says Linux/UNIX is as vulnerable as Windows

Takeaway:
Read how an Aberdeen report claims that Linux/UNIX is not more secure than Windows, despite common assumptions.

Turning up the heat up another notch on a long-simmering debate, the Aberdeen Group has published a study comparing the security of Linux/UNIX systems with that of the Microsoft Windows family of products.

“Contrary to popular misperception, Microsoft does not have the worst track record when it comes to security vulnerabilities. Also contrary to popular wisdom, UNIX- and Linux-based systems are just as vulnerable to viruses, Trojan horses, and worms,” Aberdeen’s report states.

Based on CERT advisories for 2001 and 2002, Aberdeen reached the following conclusions:

    * “Virus and Trojan horse advisories affecting Microsoft products peaked at six in 2001, which then bottomed out at zero for the first 10 months of 2002.
    * Virus and Trojan horse advisories affecting UNIX, Linux, and open source software products went from one in 2001 to two for the first 10 months of 2002.
    * Advisories affecting network equipment products jumped from two in 2001 to six for the first 10 months of 2002.
    * Firewalls and other security products were affected by just two advisories in 2001, but have been linked to seven advisories for the first 10 months of 2002.”

The report also points out that Apple is becoming vulnerable, “now that it is fielding an operating system [OS X] with embedded Internet protocols and UNIX utilities.”

Leo,

for the person who is having Costco color print problems on 5″ x 7″ prints, its very simple: make sure you images are 2100 pixels wide by 1500 pixels deep. That is 300 dpi at 7″ wide by 300 dpi at 5″ deep — or the equiv of 3.15 megapixel. I am a digital artist and graphic designer and deal w/this all the time.

If you go to Display Properties - Settings - Advanced - GeForce FX 5200 - Full Screen Video, there is a drop down menu where you can choose disable. This is just a function of the video driver and not related to being an MCE machine. Hope this helps…

Leo the Abportion/Adoption thing many Adoption books mention abortion while verry little abortion literature mentions adoption.

The authors of the materials know that saying adoption when the people already chose abortion would be annoying and tend to leave it that way.

Leo the Abportion/Adoption thing many Adoption books mention abortion while verry little abortion literature mentions adoption.

The authors of the materials know that saying adoption when the people already chose abortion would be annoying and tend to leave it that way.
So blame the content of the materials that are being made instead of the software finding them.

QOwen in Fountain Town, NC - using a laptop drive as an external drive

You need to get an external case specifically for laptop drives - the connectors are different - and laptop drives are slow, usually 4500RPM, so they’re not ideal for running programs from, but they make an excellent backup drive or storage for media.

My computer has the dreaded “blue screen” and I was wondering if you could give me a list of possible causes for this problem. I was moving and the CPU fell on our stone kitchen floor, so I am assuming that something went really wrong with the mother board. Thanks in advance for your input.

Recorded a voicemail via Odeo, but I don’t know if it went OK. Had to record 6 times for it to not get an error while trying to save the audio. I put all the pertinent info in the text box, but I couldn’t get the audio to play back even when it *did* save. Has anyone else had trouble with this or am I the lucky one?

Thanks! =-)

Hey Leo,

I’m thinking of installing a few IP Security Cameras around my house so that I can access the serveilance while I’m away from a remote location (i.e. work).. the question is, how do you assign an IP address to them and is there software out there that is user friendly to help me set it up and manage it?

thanks
best
