Well Bwana, it’s a tough decision given that Infinity Ward has crippled the PC version which you were so set on. Now the versions are pretty much the same across the board feature wise, but they differ in community and control scheme. Watch the video to hear more on this subject. It’s a tough decision.

I’ve done a few videos on some AppleTV functionality. Personally, I like the device since it fits my needs but I do believe it’s not a mass market device yet. Check out the video for more of my thoughts.

Recently a new service launched which allows for “sponsored” tweets. This service is actually called Sponsored Tweets. The website is http://sponsoredtweets.com/ I have opinions about the service that you may or may not agree with. Watch the video for more.

The Crunchpad is a tablet device that is currently in development. It is the brainchild of TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington. Details are still sketchy since the device has not been finalized yet. Search Google for “Crunchpad” and you’ll get a ton of results. Here is the link I referred to in the video: http://bit.ly/OUmRf Thanks for the question!

In this video, I answer a question from @pantz04 – http://twitter.com/pantz04 who asks: Will Blu-Ray make DVD obsolete like DVD did VHS?

This is a hard question to answer since there are so many factors. It’s not fair to compare it to VHS since the factors today are different. Today we have a wild card called digital downloads. This could hinder (or possibly help) Blu-Ray’s goal of owning the market. With HDTV still sitting in a niche market, it’s still a steep uphill battle. Hope that answers your question, @pantz04

In this video, I answer a question from sabres421 who wants to know how to tell if your PC has a SATA port or not? Thanks for the question sabres421.

Thankfully, Sonic840 of DeviantArt has created a great PC hardware reference chart which lists a ton of PC components: http://bit.ly/RL5Ez If you’re curious about any PC part (including SATA ports) you can most likely find it on this chart and compare it to what’s inside your computer. I recommend you use this chart to become familiar with your computer’s internals. Thanks again for the question, sabres421

In this video, I answer a question from Tucker who wants to know how I stream/broadcast my Team Fortress 2 gameplay online.

My setup is fairly unique ( to what I’ve seen on the web) Basically Tucker, I’m using a more hardware solution than what’s currently out there. My video card (Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX) supports output to a TV/secondary display. I’m utilizing that feature to output my monitor to S-Video. In the software, I set my desktop to mirror displays (so my gameplay will be on both). The S-Video then runs into my Dazzle which runs into my streaming machine. So my gaming machine only handles the game and the output is handled by hardware. It’s a fairly streamlined solution in that it’s pretty flexible and supports a good framerate. Hope this answers your question Tucker.

First off, there are several solutions available that I most likely won’t cover in this video (sadly, all the comments I get will disregard this statement), but here are just some you can use. Before we go on, you need to know is that there are three solution areas to consider: Hardware, software and audio. Hardware solutions are the Proview XLR http://bit.ly/10TU34 ($100), Pinnacle Dazzle http://bit.ly/pCaPB (~ $100) or a high quality HD Capture card like the Black Magic Intensity Pro http://bit.ly/NCijD ($200). Software solutions include Camtwist http://bit.ly/11yeZL (Free) and Wirecast http://bit.ly/aVQsi ($450). Finally, for audio, you can do software emulation with Audio HiJack Pro http://bit.ly/Gdp2U ($32) with a built in mic/headset or go the hardware route with a mixer such as the Behringer Xenyx 508 http://bit.ly/1n2Z3x ($30 – $60). On top of that you can buy a cheap lapel mic or go for a higher quality condenser mic. These are all solutions to get your Xbox 360 recorded and streamed. There’s more to the configuration details of all this, but this should be more than enough to get you started.

In this video, I answer a question from @WizzKid – http://twitter.com/WizzKid – who asks “Hey bwana, was wondering if you know how to get rid of duplicate images in iPhoto?” Thanks for the question, WizzKid.

I didn’t know how to do this offhand, so I researched a bit and found a lot of recommendations for a particular software package. It’s called Duplicate Annihilator and it does exactly what you asked for. Unfortunately, it’s not free and costs $7.95, but that seems like a small price to pay to do such a tiring task. It can be found here: http://u.nu/8yhb Thanks for the question WizzKid!

In this video, I answer a question from Promzy from youtube who asks “what is overclocking, what good does it do for your pc or laptop. And how do you do it?” Thanks for the question Promzy.

The wikipedia definition of Overclocking is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking . I’ll try to keep it as general as possible. “Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers.” You can think of Overclocking as a turbo charger for your computer. There’s a lot to this topic so watch the video for more on it.
