This week’s second DL.TV episode gives us the scoop from the Tokyo Gaming Show 2006 and recaps the news of eDonkey shutting down and Morpheus losing in court-a federal judge claimed that Morpheus encourages users to pirate music. Morpheus is planning an appeal. Also, holographic drives coming soon to a notebook computer near you, cheap web hosting reccomendations come to the show (We here at TechTV Forever love-and use, and enthusiastically endorse Dreamhost!), HP buys Voodoo and Voodoo loves it, Lenovo announces its own battery recall while Dell and Toshiba expand theirs, and much much more, including viewer questions and comments.

This week’s CrankyGeeks brings back John C. Dvorak, Sebastian Rupley, West Coast Editor, PC Magazine; Jim Louderback, Editor in Chief, PC Magazine; and William Harris, Editor in Chief, bit-tech.net to the table to get cranky! Among the topics this week is the big “80 cores in 5 years” announcement at the Intel Developer’s forum and more, Apple making a grab on the term “podcast-” or are they? And more, including news from the Tokyo Game Show 2006, whether or not PS3 games are going to be around $75 USD and whether they can sell at that price, and the Commerce Department “loses” over 1000 computers.
