Amy Winehouse - Do me good

lyrics:

Do me Good
Got Back Together With My Man Last Night
But I Think I Was Dreaming He Didnt Feel Quite Right
I Pressed His Chest Under My Fingertips
Beside Myself I Sighed And Reminded Of His Lips

Im Confused And Quizical
Funny Dontcha Know
I Just Wan Get Physical
Let Me Tell Ya How

Do Me Good Ill Tell You Anything You Want To Hear
Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good
Do Me Good And All This Craziness Will Disappear
Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good

Its Like He Was Designed With Me In Mind
Hes So Good From Behind
Hes Beautifully Defined
I Miss Him Most Of All When It Got Late
Attempt To Hear Him Breathing
Or Feel His Shifting Weight

Im Confused And Quizical
Funny Dontcha Know
I Just Wan Get Physical
Let Me Tell Ya How

Do Me Good Ill Tell You Anything You Want To Hear

Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good
Do Me Good And All This Craziness Will Disappear
Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good Do Me Good

Philips releases a prototype Lightup Shirt

Sometimes things aren't what they seem to be. This commercial was short lived on American Television due to it's implied graphic violent nature. It is humor at it's best.

Compilation of Headshots vol. 1

This is a compilation of Funny Crashes Vol. 1

Watch this Monocycle (thats a one wheeled bike) as it crashes everywhich way till tuesday!

Here's the deets:

• Pixel Corps claims to be a "martial arts dojo for the digital artist." Founder and Chief Architect Alex Lindsay gives us a tour of the site and demos the software app. that lets you do pro-level CG in your spare time.
  
  
• Firefox 2.0 is due by summer. The new version of 'Fox will totally update the look and even add an inline spell checker.
  
  
• The new ATI X1900 is now the fastest uber-expensive GPU available. But, is it really available?
  
  
• Tune-up an out-of-whack display for cheap: Cohost/HDTV Guru Robert Heron calibrates an HDTV with the Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD ($29.95).
  
• Viewer Question: Scott asks "Ubuntu has a program called 'Ship It' that will ship you 2 CDs...free. The install CD will even re-size your Windows XP partition and make room for the Linux install. Have you guys heard of it?"
  
• Answer: Yes! If you're looking for a free distro of Linux, definitely check out Ubuntu's Ship It as well as these old-school and Bittorrent solutions.
  
• Viewer Question: Jason wants to know "Is it possible to build a $500 gaming PC that will play just about every new game, or should I buy a Voodoo or Alienware system?"
  
• Answer: Patrick says yes, Robert says no. Fortunately, a petty argument proved to be unavoidable.
  
  
• And, as always, plenty of hot news and more viewer questions later in the show.
  

DL.TV Episode 28 streamed live at 4pm PST (midnight GMT) this Thursday, January 19th.

Here's the deets:

• The U.S. government wants Google to hand over their search results for use in finding pornography on the web. We know several ways to protect your family from explicit content--and they don't require government intervention.
  
  
• A 2006 version of 3DMark, the industry-standard gaming benchmark, is out. And, Robert's hefty new PC scored over 5000 points. Beat that gamers!
  
  
• Salvaging old monitors: a weird connector (like Apple ADC) doesn't mean you should trash a good display. Dr. Bott's SGI Saver and DVIator may be all you need to convert outdated signals into fresh signals.
  
  
• DOS games are not dead--but DOS compatible video cards may be. We'll help you set up a DOS box just for playing those classic titles.
  
  
• Full Auto (for XBox 360) is what happens when you combine fast cars, machine guns, and a bad pun. Matt Leone, Preview Editor of 1up.com, takes us through the visually stunning game.
  
  
• Backing-up DVDs is easy with the right tools. We found apps for Windows and OS X that can burn a disc faster than Patrick's oxy-acetylene torch!
  
  
• Getting the best mp3 encoding--DL.TV Audiophiles Patrick and Robert discuss the fact and fiction of joint-stereo and lossless compression.
  
  
• Our favorite cheap headphones pump out clear sound for around 50 bucks (or less). Grado's SR 60s made our list, along with some others.
  
  
• News, and plenty of conversation-starting viewer questions to come.

Episode 27 of DL.TV streamed live at 4pm PST (12am GMT), this Tuesday, January 17th.

Here's the deets:

• In the news: 'DVD Jon' declares intent to crack next-gen DVDs. Given his track record, the question isn't "Can he do it?" but "How long will it take?"
  
  
• Microsoft shipped its first Vista security patch, for beta testers of the new Windows OS; the first of many, we expect.
  
  
• And, Windows XP Service Pack 3 gets packed into a 2007 release. Hey, we're just happy to get a vague release date.
  
  
• The Fatal1ty 1010: gamer mouse extraordinaire, or one too many Fatal1ty branded products? Jason Cross reviews the smallish, $49, offering from Creative.
  
  
• Viewer question: Jason asks "Should I go with a Mac or PC for 'prosumer' video editing? I've only got $1200-$1400 to spend."
  
• Answer: It depends on what video editing software you'll use--which, FYI, could cost as much as the hardware! In either case, make sure you've got a fast CPU, and plenty of RAM.
  
  
• Robert reveals the hidden secrets of his new gaming PC--for the first time on non-network television!
  
  
• A brief history of Linux (oops, we mean GNU/Linux), along with our reccos for Linux bundles and where to grab open source software.
  
  
• Plus, more viewer questions, commentary and escalating drama to come. Stay connected.
  

Patrick says: "Welcome to another fine, blended edition of DL.TV!" The show streamed live at 4pm PST (7pm EST) this Thursday, January 12th.

Here's the deets:

• Google's video store is live. The pay-per-show ($0.99 and up) service isn't quite finished, but it'll get there (this is Google, remember). Be sure to check out their episodes of Charlie Rose!
• Nikon UK drops film cameras from their product lineup. Does this signal the end for film? Patrick knows...
• Macworld hits San Franciso--and it's literally four blocks from our studio! We explored the show floor and found the very cool MacControl iPod connector/remote, which brings iPod controls to regular Macs.
  
• We eye a few more Macworld products: XtremMac's Tango iPod dock ($199), Elgato Systems EyeTV 2 ($49), and the Intego VirusBarrier X4 ($69.95).
  
• David Pogue knows something about Macs. Patrick caught up with him at Macworld to get his opinion on Mac antivirus software.
• Nintendo's Electroplankton is more of a musical instrument than a Nintendo DS game. 10 'breeds' of plankton respond to the DS touch screen and microphone by generating sounds. 1up guys Garnett Lee and Andrew Pfister get us in the groove.
  
• You asked us about free CD/DVD burners on Tuesday's Show, and we answered...eventually. Check out DeepBurner and CDBurnerXP Pro.
• Viewer question: Brady asks "I noticed you keep changing the set TV on your show. Why?"
  
• Answer: We change TVs for a couple of reasons: we can't afford our own so we have to borrow Robert's review sets, and because the confusion keeps our interns on their toes.
  
• Plenty of fresh viewer questions to entertain and inform you, and more cool stuff. 

Episode 25 of DL.TV streamed live in the new 4pm PST (7pm EST) time slot, on Tuesday, January 10th.

Here's the deets:

• You asked for an all-questions show, and we're giving it to ya (plus a little Macworld news.)
  
• Apple's new MacBook Pro and iMac systems feature Intel's Core Duo processor. The Intel chips should bring a much-needed performance boost to the Mac platform--Apple fans rejoyce!
• Also announced at Macworld: the iPod Radio Remote. Listen to FM radio on your iPod, just like the name says.
  
• Viewer Question: Dan asks "I use iTunes to download Podcasts, but I want a Bittorrent downloader to save bandwith for the guys who make the podcasts. Got any 'podcatcher' reccos?"
  
• Answer: We'd like to see some podcatchers that use P2P, but for now try Juice or iPodder if you're looking for a capable downloader.
  
• Viewer Question: Joel asks "I've got a Athlon 64 3500+ (Clawhammer) with a Zalman heatsink and it runs hot (48C at idle, 65C load). How do I get the temps down?"
• Answer: Those temps are normal for a Clawhammer core, but make sure your thermal compound is evenly spread on the heatsink. Otherwise, think about getting a newer 90mm core Athlon--they run a lot cooler.
• Viewer Question: Kyle asks "What do you guys think of Toshiba's prototype 42" SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display)? Is this the display of the future?"
  
• Answer: SED displays have a couple of big advantages: they're ultra-thin (less than 1cm), and have super high contrast ratios (up to 100,000:1), for great black levels. They'll sell if the price is at all reasonable...
• Viewer Question: Rick asks "I've got a 42" HD Sony that I connect to my cable box with an S-Video cable. Will I see an improvement in image quality if I replace it with an HDMI connector? Is it worth the $40?"
  
• Answer: Yes, Rick, yes you will. That old S-Vid connector can't support HDTV signals, which means the precious 'HD-ness' of your TV is going to waste! Get a HDMI, DVI or component connector immediately, and sin no more!
• Plenty more of your viewer questions!
  

DL.TV Episode 23 aired live this Tuesday at 6pm PST (2am Wednesday, UTC).

Here's the deets:

• Hybrids: they're not just cars, but the future of hard disk drives. We explain why magnetic disks and flash memory chips are a winning combination, and what technologies are most likely to make it to your local Fry's or CompUSA.
• Addictive games: these free time-wasters are so hard to quit they should be illegal.
• December is wrapping up, and the 2005 Google Zeitgeist is finally here. The top gainers of 2005 inlcude (not suprisingly) Myspace and Wikipedia, with 'Janet Jackson' as the top Google News search--clearly the public is focused on the hard news.
  
• No free antivirus program is perfect, but we like AVG, Avast 4 , and AntiVir better than some more expensive programs. We recommend you only install one antivirus program, so choose wisely. 
• Do you really need Hi-Def DVDs for Hi-Def playback? Robert checks out the NeuNeo HVD2085 DVD player, to see if the upconverting player lives up to the hype.
  
• Plus, everything on Hi-Def DVD players: upsampling vs. upscaling vs. upconverting, 3:2 pulldown, resolutions, low cost solutions, and more from our expert/co-host Robert Heron.
• Viewer Question: Travis asks What's your take on the 'HDTV' torrent downloads of TV shows?  Not the legality issue, of course, but the quality issue.
• Answer: HD is always compressed to get the file size down, and resolution reduction is usually part of that process--but they can still look pretty good. As far as the legality issue...
  
• We analyze the latest technology news, from our tech-centric San Francisco studio.
  
• And, as always, we take a swing at more of your viewer questions.

Here's the deets:   

• The Warner Bros. HD-DVD launch slipped The hardware launch is still on track for late March.
• Sony PS3 shipdate: November. Unless it slips too.
• Is anybody shipping on time? still Bilu-ray is still on track for late May.
• Cingular, T-Mobile have suspended RAZR sales until a glitch is fixed, says Infoworld.
• WinXP runing on Intel Macs... maybe. Check out the story ArsTechnica.
• Read the review of the Sirius S50. A great way to record Sirius/an OK MP3 player.
• Live.com Part Three: we like Live.com . Really.
  Especially Windows Live Local (beta), aka, the maps. And the customization.
  The search on Live.com? Not so great. Yet. It is in beta. The macros and toolbar have some serious potential. To Live.com's credit, our cruddy IP connection made for the on air demo rougher than it shoulda been.
• It's not in beta, and Google's personalized home page ran a bit better.
• Scotchbrite mods... part one: Adam Podnar's website shows how to get that brushed aluminum look on your iPod. (We shoulda given Adam props on air!) What's even cooler is what Nathan Otis did with his iPod: a flame design! Check Wired's summary of how Nathan made iRule. (And check the original thread on iLounge.)
• Viewer questions:
• Holographic storage: Will it be shipping this year? We're learning a lot about this. We thought "no" but we might be dead wrong. More on Thursday.
  How good is VWB's MediaReady 500 Home Theater PC? Not so good: Robert reviewed it for PCMag, and suffered.
  What's the best place in San Francisco to get a beer on St. Patrick's Day? Um... ask us where to get the best price on processors.
• Connecting an MP3 player to your car stereo was in Episode 41.

Episode 24 of DL.TV aired live at 1pm PST(9pm UTC) this Thursday, December 22nd.

Here's the deets:

• It's official: analog TV will be put to death in 2009. And it's good news for geeks--reusing the analog spectrum will ultimately lead to faster wireless internet!
• France makes P2P file sharing legal, and may add an ISP royalty tax to compensate artists. We don't expect the US to follow their lead, so trial lawyers here can all relax.
• The Japanese case mod: art meets GHz.  Creator Nicholas Falzone comes on the show to explain the design, and philosphy behind 'Sangaku', the hand-built wooden PC case.
• The year in games, with John Davison of 1up.com. We reminisce over the great titles of this year, including Guitar Hero, Civilization 4, and World of Warcraft. So, what's coming up for 2006?
• Is HBO producing 'true' high definition programming? Robert picks out the full-HD shows, and exposes the upconverted fakes.
• Viewer Question: Shayne asks Can you please point me in the right direction for the best sub-$200 camera?"
• Answer: The HP photosmart M517 isn't super sleek or sexy, but you'll get good pictures for around $200. And while you're at it, take a picture and upload it to our Frappr map!
  
• Plenty of your entertaining viewer questions, plus more fun news stories on the show.
• Happy holidays!

DL.TV Episode 30 streamed live at 4:00pm PST (well, about a 1/2 hr. later, this time) on Thursday, January 26th.

Here's the deets:

• Don't be evil--unless there's a whole lot of money to be made. Apparently, that's the logic behind Google's decision to self-censor its Chinese search system.
  
  
• We play with the new video-capable, 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M ($330). Does it deserve the title of "iPod killer?"
  
  
• Andrew Pfister of 1up.com hates 25 to Life ($40, PS2). Is it really the worst game of the year, or do "gansta" themes salvage this tactical 3d shooter?
  
  
• A whole bunch of you guys wrote-in about nLite,
  the free tool for slipstreaming Windows XP. We love it 'cause it lets
  us create an XP Install disk with all our Windows updates pre-loaded.
  
  
• Viewer Question: Patrick asks
  "Hello from Jakarta, Indonesia, guys! Why do US cellphone providers
  have such limited phones to choose from when there are cool and better phones available in Europe and Asia?!"
  
• Answer: We agree, and we're all
  for bringing back phones from overseas. Just make sure ya know what
  you're doing, or you might end up with an expensive paperweight.
  
• Viewer Question: Brendon asks "Is it possible to take iPod videos and make them viewable in a standard DVD player?
  
  
• Answer: Sure it is. But you're gonna to have to work for them, son.
  
  
• We can only squeeze-in so many viewer questions, but we had time for a couple more on the show. Keep 'em coming!
  

Episode 31 streamed live on Tuesday, January 31st 2006.

Here's the deets:

         ATI beats Nvidia on Video accelleration, tho you might never notice.

         We asked if you want video game coverage... and boy, did you answer. 
         Microsoft releases IE 7.0 Beta 2: read PCMag's review. 
         The short version? Lots of interface mods, some new security features, and it brings IE up to par with Firefox. 
         It's really for developers and folks that love testing beta software, but you can download the beta.. 
         Thanks to everyone that emailed us with information on the Maxthon browser. (Underneat, it's IE 6!) 
         What is 'Fair Use' anyway? Danny O'Brien, Activism Co-ordinator, drops by from the EFF to discuss. 
         Want some help influencing your local representative on tech policy? Go to the EFF Action Center. 
         What were those camcorders we talked about?

         Looking to spend under $500? Hitachi's DZMV780A records to a DVD-R or DVD-RAM

         Just about any Sony or Canon is workable in that price range.

         Thinking sub $1000? We showed off Canon's Elura 90 and Panasonic's PV-GS250

         We also mentioned Canon's Optura 400. (It picked up PCMag's Editor's Choice award.)

         Sony's changing over their camcorder models. You might score a deal on a, Sony DCR-HC90. 
         Heads up: chances are that company offering a video camera camera for hundreds less than everybody else.... 
         ...wants you to pay top dollar for an 'accessories package' or isn't going to ship you the camera at that price.. 
         Ask us how we know.
         StarForce Technologies threatens BoingBoing's Cory Doctorow. 

         The company seems rather upset that he called it "anti-copying malware." 
         We had time for a few viewer questions, too. Keep 'em coming!

Unlocking phones....
