* The U.S. government wants Google to hand over their search results for use in finding pornography on the web. We know several ways to protect your family from explicit content--and they don't require government intervention. * A 2006 version of 3DMark, the industry-standard gaming benchmark, is out. And, Robert's hefty new PC scored over 5000 points. Beat that gamers! * Salvaging old monitors: a weird connector (like Apple ADC) doesn't mean you should trash a good display. Dr. Bott's SGI Saver and DVIator may be all you need to convert outdated signals into fresh signals. * DOS games are not dead--but DOS compatible video cards may be. We'll help you set up a DOS box just for playing those classic titles. * Full Auto (for XBox 360) is what happens when you combine fast cars, machine guns, and a bad pun. Matt Leone, Preview Editor of 1up.com, takes us through the visually stunning game. * Backing-up DVDs is easy with the right tools. We found apps for Windows and OS X that can burn a disc faster than Patrick's oxy-acetylene torch! * Getting the best mp3 encoding--DL.TV Audiophiles Patrick and Robert discuss the fact and fiction of joint-stereo and lossless compression. * Our favorite cheap headphones pump out clear sound for around 50 bucks (or less).
