Tekzilla Episode 1 – The Adventure Begins!
Just a heads up:
It’s the very first episode of Tekzilla: Jessica Corbin and Patrick Norton.
This is definitely something that will be added to my list of shows to watch. I haven’t seen the episode, but it’s a cross between dl.tv, and The Screensavers from the old TechTV days.

FCC commissioners: US in dire need of "national broadband strategy"
Looks like the FCC might be realizing that cable Internet, and DSL really aren’t competing..more like colluding. The broadband situation in the US is severely broken.
Two FCC commissioners showed up to a Senate hearing yesterday and argued that the US is in dire need of a "national broadband strategy" that would bring universal access and [...]

RCA’s EZ201 – Crazy Small Camcorder
The RCA EZ201 looks like a little ipod with an eye to me. I wonder if it works well for the low $100’s price tag?
As expected, this 5.25-ounce video recorder sports a ho hum enclosure, no optical zoom, 512MB of internal memory, a 1.5-inch LCD, MemoryManager software, and a SD expansion slot as well. The [...]
