Gadget Pr0n

Posted by Eugene Morton - Monday, March 03, 2008 4:54 PM

Technology moves and it moves fast. One day you’re feeling like hot stuff because you’re the only guy strutting around with a beige cell phone that’s the size of a brick and the next day all of your friends are laughing at you because you’ve got no idea what a Bluetooth headset is.

Nobody wants to get left behind, but with new technological marvels hitting store shelves every day, how are you supposed to figure out what smart phone is right for you or which personal media player won’t make you look like a total dork? There’s only one way, watching Gadget Pr0n with the only people who can keep you from being left in the digital dust.

Today, they'll review the HELIO Mysto.

Also, are you a friend to the Earth? Then check out GCycle... it's G4's new initiative to try and get you to be a better person and recycle tech stuff!

AOTS Goes Into The Wild

Posted by Eugene Morton - Monday, March 03, 2008 2:27 PM

We don’t know about you, but we’re not fans of the wilderness. Don’t get us wrong, the great outdoors are amazing, but spending a lot of time in nature is rough. You have to become one with your surroundings, lug gear, catch and cook your own food and even go without internet access.

Still, inspired by the movie, Into the Wild (on DVD tomorrow) and our innate curiosity, we sent correspondent, Alison Haislip out to learn about what it took to make the film and to get insight into what true wilderness survival along the Colorado River entails. Hint: lots of kayaking.

Tune in and be blown away by the grandiosity of nature while safely snuggled on your couch, in your downtown apartment.

The Loop: A Digital Music Future

Posted by Eugene Morton - Monday, March 03, 2008 11:54 AM

Formats pass away and thank goodness they do, because 8-tracks sucked and vinyl record players are hard to carry while you’re jogging, grocery shopping and pumping iron. Digital downloads, together with CDs are where it’s at. However, a growing trend in music retail may change that.

The band, Nine Inch Nails has (like Radiohead before them) just released its latest album directly to the web. Furthermore, CD sales are way down and, as we reported in Friday’s The Loop, iTunes has become the number two retailer of music, taking the place of Best Buy. All of this spells bad news for traditional music distribution and the CD format. Will online music downloads be the death of CDs?

To answer that question, we’ll welcome Columnist and Blogger at Wired, Eliot Van Buskirk and Phil Kay, Vocalist, Keyboardist and Producer from the band, Working For a Nuclear Free City.

Who's Who On YouTube?

Posted by Eugene Morton - Monday, March 03, 2008 11:06 AM

There are any number of colorful characters floating around on YouTube. Most of them are talentless hacks just looking for attention or young rapscallions who enjoy humiliating their friends in front of a web audience of millions, but some are a little more unique.

Today's web celeb is Athene.
