Robert's back! He says "I had the vitrectomy/membranectomy/fluid-gas exchange/endolaser(w/side of fries) done on my left eye." Don't click on the link if you're squeamish. • Sorry, Chad, DVD playback on the Xbox 360 sucks... and, no, buying the HD DVD add on won't help. (Tho it does a find joby playing HD DVDs.) Extremetech's Jason Cross wrote an outstanding 360 DVD playback quality article that mad Xbox fanboy teeth gnash on at least six continents • X-Cannon wants to track his bandwidth usage so he doesn't go over a 10GB quote and run up an $8 per GB vig... You could try something like AnalogX's NetStat Live... or check your router to see if you can log the bits. Got any suggestions, a favorite app? Email us at dl.tv@ziffdavis.com with 'count my bits' in the subject line! • Oh... here's a link to the ExtremeTech podcast with the Vista Performance & reliability tool discussion If you've got ideas on how to use those tools, build up custom tools to monitor things like your total internet useage, let us know! • Emilio asked for help stopping P2P bandwidth abuse in the office. You've gave us some good answers! • DLTV on Twitter? Yup. We want you to help us test this strange little application that answers "one simple question: What are you doing? Answer on your phone, IM" or on the web. Perfect flash mob/Friday night party tool/sweet way to update the Spouse... or is it just, as Roger calls it, "a massive ego stroke." Help us test it out. • Can any four drives make a RAID? Sure, Brian, but you might not like what you end up with. And you can definately DIY a RAID out of an old PC case.
