Yeah it's kinda annoying to have a tech love fest while so blatantly eschewing the means to raise it to an acceptable level. I just can't get behind it .

Now if only I could do better. Let me go expense a studio

Think at the same time he could get a vga to composite adapter for the demo portion of his show. Might be better than hand held zoom in and zoom out to ceiling shots.

Good point I totally forgot about that.

I'm not really a Fm listener I came from the long wavelength end of the spectrum.
Thoughts on the radio.. It has two main modes, manual and preset and has an auto preset mode which quickly finds and orders the stations but you can't name them so in a busy market like Phoenix it's a real pain to recall who's where. Sensitivity, it seems a bit deaf but a secondary function it's pretty usable. It's a bit prone to RFI from the nearby computers and it appears taht none of the EQ controls are available in that mode which is a shame since graphically the radio is so well executed but the swapping of modes is a pain though thankfully it saves your position on the last track playing.

I'll update with another entry in a week that includes the radio and ( cough) photo features.

Indeed I am aware of it , it was a few posts down here , and didn't come out on the carrier's side. I expect as a user of AT and T to make and terminate calls wherever the hell I please I've not made the leap to treat all internet services they same though. Youtube and P2P services as opposed to sending MRI's to Austrailia for diagnosis can exist on different tiers. To be honest I dislike both sides of the argument. The carriers are full of it demanding a value that they don't deserve based on their failure to innovate, ie like the post office demanding you pay more for a letter just because the check inside is of a higher monetery value, clearly nuts. On the other side the free for all is completely unsupportable since anytime a business is required to support users to the point it would lose money the service goes bye bye.

The way out of a regulated mess is not more regulation :

Here’s an interesting example of how the principles of Net Neutrality can be linked back to the Internet’s older brother, the telecom network. A few weeks ago, AT&T began blocking calls to services like FreeConferenceCall.com. AT&T did this without filing a direct lawsuit, without petitioning the FCC and without even contacting Free Conferencing Corp, the parent company. These types of free services are completely legal and AT&T is using self-help and cowboy justice to financially bully competing services out of business. This is the world of Carrier Neutrality. You can learn more at blog.freeconferencecall.com.
