This week’s second episode of DL.TV isn’t quite as groundbreaking as episode 100, but it’s still a doozy. Patrick and Robert pick up on some of the week’s tech news and announcements, like AT&T DSL dropping its contracts, so you don’t have to sign up for a year or so just to get a competitive price, more sources of DRM-free music, and ways to boost your wifi range and power for pennies. Additionally, they chat about the horrific lack of HDMI for the XBox360, what to do with the old battery when Dell sends you a replacement, tons of viewer questions, and much much more.

Perhaps the best CrankyGeeks I’ve seen yet! On this week’s CrankyGeeks, a very very special guest! And no, it’s not John C Dvorak, although he’s definitely on the panel, as usual! This week, he’s joined by Sebastian Rupley, West Coast Editor, PC Magazine; Dan Farmer, CTO, Elemental Security; and Neil Gaiman, Best Selling Author, that you should all know, and if not, you desperately need to pick up his work!

Among the topics this week are the writing process, blogging in general, debunking myths with Snopes, and Neil Gaiman’s upcoming book, Fragile Things! Definitely check this one out.

Security Now! this week is episode 60, which means it’s a mod-four episode, which means another listener question-and-answer session. Steve and Leo sit down again to tie up loose ends from previous podcasts, touch on a little tech news for the week, and then launch into the myriad of viewer questions they’ve recieved since their last Q&A episode, including touching back on virtual machines and support for them, more about ActiveX’s security problems, hosts files, and more.
