This week we enjoy a story about how an alleged child porn offender was tricked into turning himself in. Also Google closes a one billion dollar deal with AOL, Brad gives us the lowdown on a new Vista preview, and lookout! The switch to digital TV is on the horizon. We also get the inside scoop on how Stardock is fighting back against software piracy, and the cops take a lesson from an anti-game violence advocate. Tom gives us a rocking game pick of the Week and a new segment: questions from the listeners. Want to be on the air? Just download Skype (it’s free) and give us a call. We’ve even set up a handy button on the right side of this screen for you to use.

Topics at a glance:

  • Alleged child porn offender turns himself in.
  • Google makes deal with AOL.
  • New Vista preview.
  • Digital TV switch looms.
  • WindowBlinds 5 activation.
  • Lt. Col. Dave Grossman educates the police.
  • Tom’s Pick of the Week.
  • PowerUser voice mail.



Note: Skype voicemail is not active this week as Episodes 21 and 22 were pre-recorded for the holiday season. Skype call-ins will resume the first week of January, 2006. Thank you.

I listened to Ep. 21 lastnight and it was the best one in ages....the voicemail, the guy who asked about the fruit [i think] now that's one hell of a question!

When, if ever, is this going to become a vidcast? The .TV suffix dose seem to indicate some sort of visual experiance.
