We plan to do this weekly with a rotating cast of characters. Your input is welcome.

We discuss journalistic credibility, car stereo support for iPods, LAN Party addiction, and more. Also enter our contest to win a box of Patrick's crap - all you have to do is come up with a new name for the show. Runners-up receive web hosting from Vizaweb and Jinx Hackwear.

We come up with a new name and new URL, (I'll give you a hint; you're soaking in it.) Patrick reviews WinHEC. John C. Dvorak visits from beyond the grave. We answer listener questions about Tiger. And Kevin picks our site of the week: http://boxedthoughts.com.

I wanted to get this out before Steve Jobs WWDC speech on Monday, just in case we're all wrong. Please excuse the sound quality, but to expedite delivery I used the plain Skype track, not our high quality tracks (that takes a lot more editing and mixing). We discuss Apple moving to Intel, WiMax, .XXX, and more.

Windows Updates - should they be daily or monthly? Burning in Gaming Machines. To Update or Not to Update Drivers. OEM bloatware on Windows machines. Backing up to network drives.

The FCC advances the move to digital broadcast TV to 2006. The TWiTs debate digital TV. The best way to get HD. Kevin admits to watching women's tennis. Robert says NASCAR in HD is the way to go. Leo says life sucks. AMD Quadcore chips are on the way. The limitations of multi-processor systems. The end of the processor clock speed race. Robert admits to building a Prescott-based system, it's fast... and hot: 75° C. Processors will get faster, but we're in a transition period. Sony hard drive add-on for PS/3 will come with Linux. ATI Crossfire vs. SLI. The benefits of nVidia's SLI dual card gaming. The 1080p format. Patrick and Leo ask Robert for TV buying advice. Robert likes the Sharp 45-inch Aquos, but plasma is better for video. Wait until the end of the year to buy 37-inch LCDs with 1080p resolution for under $2000, should appear soon. Thanks to Textamerica for The TechTV-On This Date moblog. Patrick is sticking with CRT displays. Winbook's new HD LCD has some problems but it's very affordable.
