• Leo Laporte o' TWiT and The Screen Savers fame stops by to show off Parallels Desktop for Mac... running Windows inside of OS X. He also left us a list of his fave OS X applications... keep scrolling for it!
• Dump Winamp to avoid the AOL crud? No way, say Jake, Darren and Ryan! They've got ideas to keep Joey on his (formerly) favorite MP3 player: try Winamp Lite, download older versions from OlderVersion.com (This site rules!). Or go bandit, Reynolds' style, and try Portable Winamp 5.1 with iPod Support... not an approved distro, but designed to run from a USB key.
• Next week we'll cover the laundry list of non-Winamp audio players. It's a good list you sent in!
• Airport luggage hack: Nathaniel, Mark and Paul say pack a gun (actually, a starters pistol) to protect your expensive equipment if you have to check it on a flight! Why? The TSA rquires firearms be transported in a locked container... and they keep a close eye on it.
• You register a domain and get a bill from listingcorp.com? for, uh, listing services and domain submissions? Yup, JP, this is a scam. Well, it's actually a really sleazy piece of junk mail, er, 'solicitation' designed to look like a bill. All to get $65 out of you. In any case, it stinks. Any time you get a weird bill related to a domain name you've registered, google the name of the company, plus the word scam, and chances are you'll find if other folks were hit before you. BTW, scams like this are one of the reasons Robert keeps his personal information out of Domain Name listings... so scammers can't find it.
• Thanks to everybody that forwarded links on how to revive a Linksys WRT54G that's had a bad flash! Here's one, and here's another.
• Viewer tech pic of the week? Props to Paul's PC mod from 2004, he built a fridge into his gaming PC.
