SATURDAY SHOW EDITION



GOOGLE MAPS rules.

USING YOUR CAMCORER AS A BACKUP DEVICE
Firestreamer DV will use your miniDV camcorder as a backup device for your PC is it has a firewire connection. The software makes your DV recorder appear as a regular tape drive so that you can use the Windows Backup Utility (NTBackup) to back up and restore your files and folders.

Depending on what recording format you use, SP or EP, Firestreamer DV promises storage capacity of up to 15 GB of files and folders to a Mini-DV cassette.


MPAA IS MAKING THE FILE-SHARING JIHAD REALLY NASTY
The MPAA has managed to not only shut down bittorrent sites like lokitorrent, but, in a "f-you" to those using BT, they are hijacking the domains to warn file sharers that the big bad is coming. At this point, the 800 lb. gorilla is going to win, gang. File Sharing simply isn't worth the world of hurt these guys are going to put on you. If they're willing to go after a child's lemonade money, a student's tuition, a seniors social security checks, and even suing the DEAD, how can we really protect ourselves?

In the end, even trying to download episodes of BattleStar Galactica from England or Enterprise from SuperNova before they premiere in the states can get you sued.

These guys have NO sense of fair play.
