11:48 by nmoore6676?.

Leo: Even us who live in the local area listen on the net. Too much interference here in North Hollywood. What is happening with the KFI transmitter? Bill Handel started to talk about it and was told not to. As I understand they now have 25,000 watts into a 200′ auxiliary tower which greatly reduces the groundwave field strength. I am less than a mile from another 50KW station at 710KHz.

11:52 by waldo?.

FBI, Homeland Screwups , and NSA Must have pulled Kfi’s feed so it would die , they dont like anyone talkin about thier friends at the RIAA,,

Ok it’s a repetition, but I have to demonstrate my disappointment:

I receive no Leo in Hamburg/Germany too.
What a sad Sunday.

If a radio tower falls in the forrest, does no one hear?

Bill, no one hears, but everyone knows.

12:03 by nmoore6676?.

I am holding off buying any new media gadgets until it all falls out. I don’t want to spend money to buy something which may become non-functional in a year. Write your congressman now. Many of them especially here in SoCal, are in the pockets of the industry and are supporting legislation to make most types of recording illegal, especially HD broadcast and satellite programming.

12:04 by Louis in Georgia?.

No streaming here in Atlanta either. It was working yesterday with Bill Handel and Leo’s show. Clear Channel uses the same outsourced company (Akamai) to stream all of their radio stations. I have tested other Clear Channel stations, and so far I can not get any of them to work…only an ad at the beginning and then silence. Apparently, it’s a problem with the streaming company.

12:06 by Bill in Tucson?.

Yes Steve_NV

You can find the down tower by the Lawyers circling overhead.

Is this what happened -→> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vteH1TnYfnU&search=radio%20towers

12:12 by Arizona Steve?.

Yeah, that’s KFI going down. Leo should dump that worthess KFI and switch to some other service that works on a regular basis.

12:17 by Tm510a?.

Leo can you post a link on how to use Tmoble as a modem with a Mac Book …….. I have a MDA and have not had any luck ….

Aaaargh! Leo: the upgrade to Verizon’s current version of EVDO isn’t “UTMS” (or whatever you said); that’s the European euphemism for WCDMA, and it’s “UMTS” for “universal mobile telecom service.” Notice how they upgraded the previous TDMA-tech, GSM from “global mobile service,” to “universal.” The upgrade to EVDO for everybody is “Release A” or “Revision A,” which will boost current speeds of 400–700Kbps to >1–1.5Mbps. Also in the works is the upgrade to WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA (currently about same speed as EVDO but MUCH smaller footprint & Cingular-only) is coming later and will challenge EVDO RevA speeds. Please warn listeners to TOTALLY DISREGARD the speeds mentioned by the industry on these upgrades because those are lab-only speeds. We will all be happy to have >1Mbps with a mobile device. T-Mobile is still lagging on announcing a 3G upgrade from EDGE, which at avg speeds of about 100Kbps is hardly competitive with VZW, Sprint, CIngular.

Cheers,
Radiomyk

Censorship plain and simple

13:02 by Bob in Anaheim?.

Leo, I suggest that when you recommend that listeners use Linux, that you include “Linspire” which is, in my opinion, the easiest-to-use Linux OS and their CNR (Click aNd Run) applications. If you are not familiar with this Os and applications, please check out their data at www. linspire.com

ahhh the end is near. time to repent! on your knees , face west and pray to KFI to return streaming. looks like The Da Vinci Code has taken over. to late to pray.

Researchers Chart Leap in Mac Vulnerabilities

http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20060505/tc_zd/177496
Matt Hines - eWEEKFri May 5, 9:09 AM ET

The volume of security vulnerabilities discovered in Apple’s Macintosh platform has increased significantly over the last several years, according to a new report released by McAfee’s Avert Labs.

The security software maker contends that the number of flaws found in the Mac operating system has increased by 228 percent since 2003. While the researchers said the number of serious vulnerabilities isolated in the latest version of Apple’s operating system software, Mac OS X, is dwarfed by the quantity of problems unearthed in Microsoft’s rival Windows during the same period, McAfee maintains that as Apple’s products have become more popular, a larger number of glitches are being identified.

Perhaps even more disturbing, based on how closely Apple can tie its current wave of success to hot-selling consumer multimedia products, McAfee said that many of the reported issues have actually been related to the company’s iPod devices and iTunes download service.

Apple representatives didn’t immediately return phone calls seeking comment on the report.

With Boot Camp, is it possible for a Mac to catch a Windows disease? Click here to read more.

For its part, McAfee released the findings alongside the announcement of its new package of anti-virus applications for Apple’s Intel-based Macs. The vendor’s VirusScan for Mactel 8.0 release runs under Apple’s Rosetta emulator and promises protection from both Macintosh- and Windows-oriented viruses, as well as Trojans and other threats.

“The availability of Mac exploit code on the Internet makes it an open target for the same types of malware currently plaguing the Windows world,” Eric Winsborrow, vice president of product marketing at McAfee, said in a statement. “As more companies deploy Mac systems running on the Intel platform in mixed environments, the risks of infection will most likely increase.”

Apple has traditionally avoided many of the security issues that have plagued other products such as Windows, but several high-profile issues reported since the beginning of 2006 have thrown the company’s Mac platform under additional scrutiny, including the arrival of two worm viruses affecting Mac OS X users.

In March, Apple was forced to release a security update that addressed five separate security vulnerabilities discovered in its Safari Web browser, including one issue for which exploit code was also identified. Another glitch, rated by researchers and the company as “extremely critical,” allowed for possible remote code execution attacks on Mac computers if a user simply viewed a maliciously rigged Web page on one of the machines.

In April, Apple released a security bulletin detailing a glitch related to the security content of a version of Sun Microsystems’ J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) Release 4 that it has been making available over its Software Update and Apple Downloads services.

Knows: It’s a dangerous world out there for any non-savvy computer user, be it Mac or Windows. Leo has agreed with the truths in your posts. You, yourself said that the security risks for Windows outnumber the risks for Apple at this time. Why are you so down on Apple, and anyone who recommends Apple to a novice, multimedia oriented person?

14:18 by Greg Randis?.

Leo, I believe the Drive backup utility you are looking for is SNAPSHOT.

If I knew KFI 640am Stream was going to be donw today. I would of have slept in this morning. There is a reason why CC is Called Cheap Channel!!!

16:54 by BogieWoz?.

LA IT Knows Better - I think you need to get your facts straight. Macs NEVER said it was perfectly safe. It states it is MORE safe/secure than windows. And the 228% (2.28 times more) of a small number is still a small number. You are sounding just like the people that maliciously attack the Mac in the pre OS-X days. In the 90s, windows had about 40k virus and the Mac had about 35. Then there was a big increase and they got over 90 virus. Then the kool-aid drinking windows/Mac bashers where taughting an 300% increase in Mac virus. Guess what. The 300% was still smaller than a 1% increase in Windows virus is more than the total of Mac virus. Sure, time has passed each plantform has more virus but Windows has virus has increased more than the Macs. Also, if you listen to Leo he says it is MORE secure, LESS vunerable, not COMPLETELY or TOTAL as you are implying. And even those sites you have referenced in the past do state the Mac is more secure than Windows (but you conveniently forget to mention that part). Do you go around the other sites that tought Windows and bash Macs with the negative aspects of Windows? Somehow I doubt it.

I work with both Macs and Windows and I can say from my experince and my coworkers, the Macs present less (not none but less) problems and complications then the Windows machines.

And as Steve_NV says, why are you so down on Apple? What kind of Kool-Aid were you drinking?

MacBook (#2): Irritating fan noises reminiscent of MacBook Pro (“mooing”); Fitting a 7200 RPM drive; more

Irritating fan noises reminiscent of MacBook Pro (“mooing”) Several users are reporting MacBook fan behavior similar to the lamented noise generated by the MacBook Pro (see the special report) where the fan kicks on then suddenly off, generating what many users have described as noise akin to the “mooing of a distant cow.”

With the use of the freeware utility CoreDuo temp, several users have noticed that the “mooing” fan noise only seems to occur when temperatures rise above 67 degrees celsius. In fact, one user (Yongwon Lee) has posted a video of a partially disassembled MacBook, demonstrating that the fan turns on at 67 degrees celsius, and back off as the temperature drops slightly.

High-pitched noise emanating from power adapter Some users have also noticed a high-pitched noise coming from the MacBook’s power adapter.

Windows Genuine Advantage:

Just FYI — I get the error that my Windows installation does not pass the test when installing Windows Defender on a Windows XP computer UNTIL I download the latest updates. Then it’s fine.

14:33 by Frankyvee?.

I had this exact problem and deleting the IDE controller the DVD is on in windows device manager will fix it. Once you delete the controller reboot and Windows will put your DVD back on DMA mode. I usually can tell when mine goes into PIO mode when video starts lagging while watching a movie. My expirience is that If I insert a scratched DVD my DVD reader spends minutes trying to read it windows will tend to revert to PIO mode.

To Jeff,

To visually see what is taking up space on your hard disk try SpaceMonger @ http://www.werkema.com/software/spacemonger.html it’s free.

I’ve tried other software and found some of them more “pretty” but nothing as practical and useful as this.

I use this all the time.

11:09 by Glitch SLK.

WSFTP-Pro - have been using it for years. It is a great program, but they make it SO DIFFICULT to reinstall and reregister. They use complicated scheme of having to install upgrade program onto an existing installation. So when you get a new computer or crash a drive, it becomes near-impossible to get up and running again.

I always have to resort to emailing tech support, and they will check registration and provide links to download working program. I have also had them email me a program to run.

But certainly, it is onerous. And it is also difficult to transfer all your settings from an old install to a new install (supposedly latest version has import/export function). I just have not found one I like better.
