Two week extravaganza!

Topics in this Podcast:

Today we catch up on the week lag we've had since the reintroduction of the Podcast.

I discuss the missing keyboards and mice from last week's show including the Microsoft Laser keyboards and mice, the Logitech DiNovo Laser, and the Logitech S510. I discuss the relative range differences between the Logitech FastRF Technology and Bluetooth.

The major focus of the show is on lifestyle devices, such as the Roomba, Scooba, Littermaid, and Toyota Prius. Which products are right for you? Listen to find out! Are 5.1 headphones all they're cracked up to be? Guess what? Ya gotta listen!

I received my Sony VAIO S480 and give a hands on account, and my first impressions. (Hint: Happiness!) With all this talk about mice, I review the Anycom Bluetooth BTM-100 mouse, a unique device in the sea of offerings from larger companies.

We got some listener feedback on my guide to choosing a flash based MP3 player. Hear what others are saying, and what we think about the death of Rio. Current owners might want to check out Riovolution for help with their players.  

And then we address the elephant in the middle of the room - Mac OS X on Intel leaked to the interweb. We have an exclusive 15th hand account! (hey, we're covering our butts. Whaddayawant?) Hear about all the performance, patches and resources, like OSX86Project, on the show!
