TomTom is introducing two unique features. The one I really like is the 3-D lane helper. I just spent $600 on a TomTom 620 and now they’re making in obsolete this quickly? Wow. What a slap!

Hey guys! Love your show. One small thing, iTunes could not move this episode to my iPod (5G).

Is it you or is it me?

Thanks and best regards from Israel.

It’s not just you Israel – I had the same problem

Hi sweet cali, this time iTunes download me the (I think) is your computer format 40+Mb, so my iTunes didn’t transfer it to my iPod and I watched on my computer. by the way on 321 your Mac Air revew was a little short imo. Tell us more about it, I can imagine the micro engineering behind Mac Air will give us smaller laptops in the future, maybe some that a Mac Pro will be that small. One more thing, About SSD HD, how much faster (%) is a computer with a SSD HD? I know is quiet and cooler, but how much faster?

From Venezuela,
Ale.

So where’s the geekbrief radio? Audio only links to the wmv-video file.

Hmmm…I don’t remember learning about a larnyx in med school. I think you meant to say larynx ;)

I absolutely LOVE the new concept with Geek Brief Radio! The two of you working off each other is always wonderful fun. You’re “radio gold”! If you can manage the extra time involved in doing a unique audio version, I think a lot of people would enjoy it. I’ve always just subscribed to the HD video feed, but if you guys are going to continue this, I’ll be with you every episode, gleeful to be getting twice the Brief.

I used to watch the brief using Miro with the URL http://www.podshow.com/feeds/gbtv.xml but todays brief isn’t available. Has someone else that problem?

The Miro link above is working and I get the new brief, but HD just looks better ;)

Oh, I forgot to say the PodShow version even looks great at full screen!

PodShow is working on a player that looks this good (better actually). We got to see a sneak peak last week. Not a large enough percentage of Internet users have the most recent version of Flash to justify the cost of the upgrade just yet.

@R Pyle: It’s from this video I shot: http://www.bigtrip.tv/tales-from-the-big-trip-mozzarella-co-dallas-tx

@Javier: Looking into it!

@George: Yes, YouTube will work on the Mac. Have you checked to see if you have the latest Flash software updates installed?

I like this Vimeo app. It’s quick and the picture has a good quality.

But what was that first inset video? Cooking something? Boiling something? For some reason it brought cheese-making to mind but I couldn’t figure it out!

Also got a kick out of your pronunciation of larynx. Lar-a-nicks must be a localism like vee-hickle. :)

Plus I was moments away from ordering a copy of Camtasia. Now I’ll look at ScreenFlow!

That headset really does look goofy. Not sure I’d want to lug it around, even if just in the car.

There’s a headset that uses in-ear bone conduction to send sound to the phone. The Invisio Q7 looks like a standard bluetooth headset, but it’s not. The earbud presses against a bone in the ear to sense vibrations while talking.

A HowardForums member received a copy of the headset, and posted comparisons, using just his cellphone mic and the Invisio Q7.

I drive an older Jeep Wrangler, which, in my opinion, is the loudest car ever to travel at 65 MPH. I, for one, will be purchasing this bluetooth headset once it comes out. Plus, I won’t be looking as goofy.

People would never believe me when I told them that it snowed in Texas when I lived there as a kid in the early ’60s.

I love the embedded Vimeo videos. The best part is that they’re full screen and no buffering. I usually watch my Briefs on iTunes, but this is great because I can be impatient and watch the video now, now now!
