* It's official: analog TV will be put to death in 2009. And it's good news for geeks--reusing the analog spectrum will ultimately lead to faster wireless internet! * France makes P2P file sharing legal, and may add an ISP royalty tax to compensate artists. We don't expect the US to follow their lead, so trial lawyers here can all relax. * The Japanese case mod: art meets GHz. Creator Nicholas Falzone comes on the show to explain the design, and philosphy behind 'Sangaku', the hand-built wooden PC case. * The year in games, with John Davison of 1up.com. We reminisce over the great titles of this year, including Guitar Hero, Civilization 4, and World of Warcraft. So, what's coming up for 2006? * Is HBO producing 'true' high definition programming? Robert picks out the full-HD shows, and exposes the upconverted fakes. * Viewer Question: Shayne asks "Can you please point me in the right direction for the best sub-$200 camera?" * Answer: The HP photosmart M517 isn't super sleek or sexy, but you'll get good pictures for around $200. And while you're at it, take a picture and upload it to our Frappr map! * Plenty of your entertaining viewer questions, plus more fun news stories on the show. * Happy holidays!
