Digital Life Episode - 29 Saturday, January 28th, 2006

 

Is a downloadable tech tv show. Its hosted by Patrick Norton who was a TV host of G4TechTV.

 

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!
