Leo Laporte Gets a New Tricycle
Play
Does it fold up or anything funky like that? - Andrew Leahey
Wow you were moving pretty good. How does it turn? - Harvey Johnson
.................. That.............. Is............... AWESOME!!! - Johnny
Is this what they call re-inventing the wheel? Apart from the 'front' (steer) wheel being at the back, this design/concept has been a round for a very long time. - Kevin J Hatton
Kevin, the Terratrike, a tadpole-type (the other one is "delta") tricycle steers in the front (Ackerman steering), not in the back, only Leo hasn't figured out yet how to adjust it properly and screw down the handlebars. This model is too small for him, as he'll soon be bound to discover, but there are other brands on the market, of bigger size and far better quality. - ianf ⌘
Thanks for the info ianf⌘, it is good to know that this wasn't truly representative of this new design. - Kevin J Hatton
Well, Leo's mouth-agape reaction was typical, representative of the initial awe one feels while riding a recumbent trike. It's like being in the fairground "radio cars" of the fifties. But he's quite mistaken that he is "very low to the ground." This is average height for such trikes, with eyes on the same level as in fast convertibles; there are competition trikes with 20 degree seat... more... - ianf ⌘
It is NOT too small for him and in fact was custom sized for him from the factory. He rides it daily and loves it. - Jeff Yonker
G Dub of the Carolinas
Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me...
:) - Josh Haley
Watching Jaynestown - G Dub of the Carolinas
The man they call jaaaaaaaayne - Josh Haley
No, no THIS is what going mad feels like. - G Dub of the Carolinas
Good bye Mr. Higgins. This and Our Mrs. Reynolds are my favorite episodes. - G Dub of the Carolinas
River, honey, he's putting the hair away now. - G Dub of the Carolinas
I miss that show so much. - Capn' One Eye - adrift
Joss should just forget Fox exists. I'm shocked that Dollhouse was renewed. - G Dub of the Carolinas
Probably one of the best things they ever put on TV - David C Ravell Jr
I miss this show so much. - Michael Ellis
If you're going to stab me in the back, at least do it to my face. - Bruce Webster
If I ever decide you need killing you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed. (Edit: I think I got that quote wrong. I fail.) - DGentry
Man I wish this show hadn't been canceled. So many good memories. - Eric Geller
Inara's in my bunk. I'll be in my bunk. - Josh Haley

Not really sure what to make of Mc Donalds new OAP discount ads..

Hahahaha, Amazing. Milk was a bad choice.... - Alan (Giraffes)
OAP = Old Age Pensioners - Leo Laporte
I know what it means Leo, just think its a bit weird for them to use a pair of saggy boobs to get that across :) - Simon Wicks
Yeah, surely something isnt right there eh? - Alan (Giraffes)
It could be your interpretation of the ad, that might not be correct. *EDIT* Either way, it is a marketing failure - Wizetux
Boobies! - BEX
Here's where i found it - http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/2009... Clearly a Photoshop jobby anyway :) Something to do with the Chip Shop awards, never heard of them before: http://www.chipshopawards.com/ - Simon Wicks
on the one hand, boobies...on the other hand, creepy Burger King style FAIL. - Joe The Sausage
Sad old tits - Lisa zahara Hopkins
Milk is healthy contrary to popular belief against drinking the stuff - guess where it comes from? - Geer
Fake. http://www.chipshopawards.com/nominat... "The Chip Shop Awards is there to recognise that the best ideas don't always fall within the rules. This is a worldwide advertising and design competition that has no rules.... The CSA is all about ideas. Your work does not have to have been broadcast, printed or mailed. You do not even have to have the client. You just have to have a great idea. " - Joel Bennett
I believed it for a moment. After all, MacDonalds and bad taste just go together. - Ben Aldhouse
I beleived it for a moment too, posted it, then realised it was fake.. Shame on me. - Simon Wicks
Don't get me wrong, it's still funny. In fact, a lot of those on the Nominations page are... - Joel Bennett
McDonalds cold be assuming old people have a sense of humour about themselves. I doubt it though. - David Buglass

Apple is sued after pressuring open-source iTunes project - Mac - Macworld UK - http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac...
The lawsuit, filed on Monday, could test the limits of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). It centres around an open-source effort to help iPods and iPhones work with software other than Apple's iTunes. Last November Apple's lawyers demanded that the Bluwiki.com Web site remove a project called iPodhash, saying that it violated the DMCA's anti-circumvention provision - Leo Laporte
I know nothing about the legal system, but this seems like Apple is being a cry baby about sharing their toy with everyone else. - Connor "The Lazy Geek"
There are other ways around Apple's ironhanded DRM. - tojfs7931

Live now: The Tech Guy Radio show #556. Discuss here...
techguy144.jpg
Hello Leo - Nolan Alston
The audio stream on http://twit.am/listen.m3u has been really quiet over the past few days (especially during the pre-recorded shows) compared to how loud it normally is. Makes it really hard to hear through my phone when I'm on the road... - James
leo leo leo - Eduardo
I just woke up at 4am to listen. I WAS going to call up, but I won't be able to fix my problem for a week or so :( Maybe next weekend. - MλTT
Leo: you really should mention that the security of Windows has improved greatly with Vista and Win 7. I have yet to find malware or virus on my Vista machines or Win 7. The UAC which many people complain about is just like sudo on Mac and Linux. - archaictree
Whats your issue Matt, maybe we can help. - Kevin
US gov makes us install anti virus on macs even if no proof - J.R. Quilantan
I was reading that the new build of Win 7 will have an option to run in Win Xp mode. Which is just a virtual machine with windows xp. Hopefully, they can break away from compatibility issues by using virtual machines. - archaictree
It allows you to run legacy Win XP software side-by-side with Win 7 software, as far as I know. Very useful. - Angelo Stavrow
what is the question? - Chris
Mark Dekruyter: for corporate IT people like me. It allows me to make a case to upgrade to windows. We are dealing with atleast two machine infections in a week by sicking with windows xp. - archaictree
I need help with SEO, but my problem's kind of obscure and I changed the directory of my website, so it's not appearing on google at the moment. - MλTT
Just wished MS would release the pricing for Win7 - Greg
Thanks, Leo for cleaning up my poorly written comment. :) - archaictree
I agree with Greg. RC1's about to come out and they still haven't released the pricing. If they'd give a definite release date and a definite price, I'd be happy. - MλTT
Tivo HD works great too. Netflix is right on the menu. You can share all your media as well. - David Ginsburg
I used to use Sage TV on a purpose-built HTPC. Very customizable, and a great community behind it -- although I haven't looked into it in a while, so I don't know where it's at now. - Angelo Stavrow
I can't get my Xbox working with Media Centre on my main PC or my HP Touchsmart. I've tried it on 32 and 64bit Vista, but both fail half way through. It's not the Xbox, because I tried it a few months back, when I first installed Windows 7. Anyone else have a similar problem? - MλTT
Matt: Same problem here -- I just couldn't get my 360 to see my Vista 64 desktop or notebook. No idea why. - Angelo Stavrow
It sees it just fine, but when I go to set it up, it fails after the firewall setup section - MλTT
I just answered my own question. Windows 7 had no AV software when I got it connected :\ - MλTT
Matt: I had no problem connecting the 360 to Win 7 even with Avira installed, so I probably have a different problem than you. - Angelo Stavrow
music piracy dates back to 1897 http://www.boingboing.net/2009... - zephyrlily
Has microsoft announced pricing in win 7 - Bob
Tricia: Pfft, n00bs. Sea piracy dates back to at least 75 BC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Angelo Stavrow
parade yesterday, antiques today... and im sitting on my couch playing xbox and listening to leo.... man i need to move - Michael King
Bob no they have not - Greg
anyone still here? - Phil Essing
Well, Phil, I'm sorry to say that I'm leaving. It's far too early to be awake. Bye, people :) - MλTT
I'm thinking to conversion to digital will send a lot of people to cable or satellite that previously had no use for it. - Michael King
Anyone able to get Twit Conversations to show up in the separate orange colored Groups area in beta friendfeed? - Greg
Are all-in-one pcs like the imac good for main daily use? They seem like they would be prone to overheating. - zephyrlily
hey from a spring day in georgia - daveccorey
Trica i have a hp touchsmart that we use it sits on the bar between the kitchen and living room and it stays on all the time. Never have heat issues with it. - Michael King
Hey Leo, watching TWiT Live from Buffalo, NY. Wish the stations here would carry The Tech Guy. - Mol, FF Music Lover
Thanks MK, I saw the touchsmart @ Costco, I actually like the Sony Vaio model, debating between that or the imac. - zephyrlily
Tricia don't get me wrong I use my MacBook way more than the touchsmart, its just there for quick look up of things, my roommates use it also for quick look ups. if it was going to be a main machine for me though i would get the mac because the touch screen would have no use at a desk. - Michael King
we cant listen to yr guests - Johni Fisher
Johni the caller audio is muted becue of the radio station he broadcasts on request. - Michael King
thx ...the last one that was over the phone was muted - Johni Fisher
Man, I wish I was fed bacon all day too. :-\ - Angelo Stavrow
is Catherine old enough to drink? - Michael King
leo she put up the wrong pic - Kyle Stay
yeah no dead bird... only a screen shot.... - Michael King
IS there any shot or vacsaine avalebel 4 the flue yet - daveccorey
