Watch DLTV online: Episode 186 episode 186

STUFF • Robert Heron's down in SoCal doing THX Training (ooooh, should be some Home Theater Audio Tips coming soon to DL.TV) • Roger Chang's at Comic-Con San Diego, taking pictures and hanging out with the sci fi glitterati. • So we asked really really nicely and 1Up's Managing Mavin Garnett Lee came by to co-host the show... • Kind of generous of him, given that 1Up was one of the sites that got knocked out this week when 365 Main lost power... It's all about having multiple colos... and, uh, generators.) • The article Garnett mentioned that details what happened is from Data Center Knowledge: Generator Failures Cause 365 Main Outage • Viewer Pic o' the Week? DL.TV in a firetruck... Curt, a firefighter from Asheville, NC says "I have to get my DL.TV on even when I have to watch it in the fire truck! I might be the first guy with an "iFire engine." Thanks for the pix, Curt, and thanks for sending a Gigasize link instead of a 27MB email attachment! • CCleaner is definitely a great way to clear your tracks from your browsers, OS and other applications (not to mention clear out tons of wasted space on your hard drive)... thanks for a great addition to ep 185's how to on clearing the recent items list in Vista, Eliminat! • Garnett demoed some nifty online applications: first, RememberTheMilk.com is the "ONLINE TODO LIST AND TASK MANAGEMENT" site he says has the whole Franklin-Covey lifestyle beat... • ... but remember, he wants you to take advantage of the nifty RememberTheMilk interface built into his Netvibes.com, which you'll just have to watch the video to see... Garnett says it's heaps better than iGoogle, the Google custom home page, or Live.com's personalized home page. Check out the video: he's got Netvibes pretty tricked out. • Pownce Deux: speaking of tricked out, we forgot to show sharing files on Pownce, so we showed that off today. • Game reviews? How about the scoop on 3 games in less than four minutes... Our very own Scott Asnault sat down with Darren Gladstone to talk about Vapire Rain, Overlord for the PC and on the 360 along with Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. (Hint: at least one of those titles is awful.) • HowardForums.com is that cell phone web forum that is always mentioned on the show, Adam... it's an amazing resource for just about any cell phone or wireless carrier, whether you're looking for advice on dealing with AT&T or Verizon... help with DUN over your cell phone, or some nifty tools to make your phone your own. It's awesome... and follow Garnett's advice if you don't want to get flamed when you start posting. • Should you buy Vista on your new machine, Philip? Sure. We wouldn't upgrade to it, tho, and we're not taking any bets on its efficiency compared to XP, tho there are some great features built in for parents and folks that love the shiny. • Jim's read for the September release of Halo 3... and he's gonna buy a plasma TV so he can really get into it... should he go with a plasma or LCD screen? Garnett is all about the plasma when you're talking about serious HD gaming. • Got a Question? A tip? A product you're curious about Email us at dl.tv@ziffdavis.com
