I decided to record half of the video using one of these little devices, and half using the other one! They can take still shots, and record in full 1080p format! They support a media stick, or SD media, which is impressive to see. Both cameras are capable of creating very nice YouTube videos! http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo ...

I have to thank Seagate for sending this to me to review! I think this is the NAS I've been looking for. If you're in the market for a solution in your home / home office, you might consider Seagate's options. http://twitter.com/chrispirillo Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Super Bowl Sunday Snacks http://www.facebook.com/chrispirillo ~ http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - What food are you eating during this year's Super Bowl, and which team should I be rooting for? Seriously, if you're going to leave a comment for this video (even if you don't like the video), at least tell me which team I should support.

When it comes to connecting to a computer remotely, security should be your first concern!

I walked into the Apple Store today, just to see what's new. They just happened to have a few of the new iPads lying around doing nothing... and they let me buy one! I whipped out my credit card and rushed this gorgeous thing home to unbox for all of you!

Unfortunately, the Lynx browser is no longer cutting it. If you don't remember it, then you are not old like I am. PC PitStop community member James asks if Internet Explorer is safe yet. He's been waiting to use the newest version, because he's heard that it has a lot of problems. What are your thoughts on this?
