Item 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Let's be serious, this is the only thing happening this week Never has a game so thoroughly lived up to the hype However: There is some controversy around the single player campaign Related: Microsoft bans up to 1 million players from Xbox Live for cheating - Leo Laporte
Item 2: Windows 7 on a netbook It's fine. But it's still a netbook - Leo Laporte
Item 3: Windows Mobile 6.5 It does not suck as much as you've been led to believe In fact, it's better than the iPhone in a few areas It's not nearly as good most of the time. Let's not get crazy - Leo Laporte

Audible pick of the week: Under the Dome by Stephen King "On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when--or if--it will go away." This thing is over 1000 pages longs, BTW! http://www.audible.com/adbl... - Leo Laporte
Tip of the week: Get the latest Zune HD games First, download a minor Zune HD firmware update (v4.3) Then get access to 5 new games and one other app Some of the games are 3D Nothing major, but a nice bonus for Zune HD users - Leo Laporte
