>> Amber MacArthur: MAKE SOME SWEET MOOLAH FROM POSTING YOUR VIDEOS ONLINE, TODAY ON CALL FOR HELP. [Playing Theme Music]
>> Leo Laporte: HEY, HOW ARE YOU? WELCOME, IT'S TIME FOR CALL FOR HELP. I'M LEO LAPORTE. THIS IS THE SHOW WHERE WE HELP YOU UNDERSTAND, USE AND DISMISS UNRULY TECHNOLOGY, ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTERS, MP3 PLAYERS, EVEN CELL PHONES.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU KNOW, I THINK NOWADAYS, CELL PHONES MIGHT BE THE MOST COMMON FORM OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WE ALL USE. I MEAN THERE ARE FAR MORE CELL PHONES OUT THERE THAN THERE ARE PCs. I THINK THERE WERE SOMETHING LIKE 400 MILLION CELL PHONES SOLD LAST YEAR. LOTS OF CELL PHONES OUT THERE. SO WE TALK ABOUT THAT, WE TALK ABOUT HOME THEATRE, WE TALK ABOUT SECURITY, ALL OF THAT. THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU, IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND TECHNOLOGY, WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU IN YOUR LIFE, AND ALSO, AND I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, UNDERSTANDING IT SO THAT YOU CAN HELP GOVERNMENT MAKE GOOD CHOICES. YOU KNOW, WE CAN BE GOOD CITIZENS, AND REALLY INFLUENCE THE DIRECTION THAT TECHNOLOGY TAKES. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAY I INTRODUCE MY CO-HOST, BEFORE I GO ON ANY LONGER.
>> Leo Laporte: I'LL GET OFF THIS SOAP BOX AND SAY HELLO TO AMBER MacARTHUR.
>> Amber MacArthur: HELLO, LEO.
>> Leo Laporte: HOW ARE YOU?
>> Amber MacArthur: I'M REALLY GOOD, DOING REALLY WELL.
>> Leo Laporte: THINGS GOING WELL?
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, THINGS ARE GOING GREAT, NO COMPLAINTS.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW US A COOL WEBSITE, REVVER?
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, IT'S CALLED REVVER, AND IT'S ANOTHER SITE WHERE YOU CAN UPLOAD VIDEOS, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BECAUSE YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY BY PUTTING ADS IN YOUR VIDEO AUTOMATICALLY. SO IT'S KIND OF TAKING IT A STEP FURTHER FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE PRODUCING THEIR OWN VIDEOS AND WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE CASH ON THE SIDE.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS IS A TOTAL REVOLUTION HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT IS.
>> Leo Laporte: BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN HAVE -- BECAUSE OF INEXPENSIVE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, CAN MAKE THEIR OWN AUDIO AND VIDEO, AND THE INTERNET ALLOWS THEM TO DISTRIBUTE IT, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIND A TV OR RADIO STATION, YOU CAN FIND A PLACE LIKE REVVER, OR DO YOUR OWN PODCAST, AND IT'S, I THINK, AN EXPLOSION IN CREATIVITY, WHICH I'M THRILLED TO SEE.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT REALLY IS, BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN KIND OF THE WAVE OF, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE MAKING MONEY NOW OFF OF GOOGLE ADS, SO THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF IDEA, EXCEPT THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF WRAP YOUR VIDEO IN ADS.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH VIDEO, YOU KNOW, IT'S EXPENSIVE, NOT ONLY TO MAKE, IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IT IS TO MAKE AUDIO, ANYWAY, OR WRITING, AND IT'S BIG FILES, AND SO THE BANDWIDTH CAN ALWAYS BE AN ISSUE.
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT'S THE BIGGEST KILLER.
>> Leo Laporte: SO THIS WILL HELP WITH THAT. YOU KNOW THAT, I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU.
>> Amber MacArthur: BANDWIDTH IS A PROBLEM.
>> Leo Laporte: COMMAND, END. HOW BIG ARE YOUR-- AMBER, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, WITH MIKE, DOES A WEEKLY VIDEO PODCAST. HOW BIG ARE YOUR FILES?
>> Amber MacArthur: IT DEPENDS, BECAUSE WE OFFER THREE DIFFERENT FILE FORMATS, SO WE HAVE ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 80 MEGS TO 120 MEGS, BUT WE RECENTLY JUST RELEASED AN INTERVIEW IN H.D., WHICH IS 5 MINUTES LONG, AND IT'S ABOUT 180 MEGS.
>> Leo Laporte: WOW, ALTHOUGH PEOPLE DON'T COMPLAIN.
>> Amber MacArthur: THEY DON'T COMPLAIN, I MEAN YOU HAVE THE OPTION, WE ALSO ALLOW PEOPLE TO WATCH IT IN A LITTLE FLASH PLAYER, SO IT DOESN'T-- OBVIOUSLY IT DOESN'T SUCK ANY OF OUR BANDWIDTH.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT YOU CAN'T, YOU CANNOT BE A DIAL UP USER THESE DAYS, AND EXPECT TO USE THESE RICH FORMS OF MEDIA, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE STUCK WITH DIALUP, YOU KNOW, EITHER THEY CAN'T AFFORD BETTER, OR MORE LIKELY, THEY'RE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH SPEED INTERNET. I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT. I THINK THOSE PEOPLE ARE KIND OF RIGHT NOW, AT RISK OF MISSING ON A HUGE REVOLUTION.
>> Amber MacArthur: THEY REALLY ARE, THEY'RE REALLY KIND OF STUCK UNFORTUNATELY.
>> Leo Laporte: AND IT'S FUNNY, WE KIND OF THROW OFF 80 MEGABYTES, 120 MEGABYTES LIKE IT'S NOTHING. THAT'S A LOT.
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT'S A LOT.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS AGO, THAT'S A BIG, BIG FILE. 120 MEGABYTES WOULDN'T EVEN FIT ON A ZIP DISK. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING A LOT OF DATA HERE, AND YOU KNOW, OH, DOWNLOAD THAT, AND IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES ON BROADBAND. STEVE GIBSON IS HERE, HE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT WIRELESS NETWORKING, AND THE DANGERS INHERENT IN AN OPEN WIFI ACCESS POINT, THINGS YOU MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT AND THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF, AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WORK IN THE TECH INDUSTRY, DAVE PERRY IS BACK. HE'S GOING TO SHOW US GUERRILLA JOB HUNTING TECHNIQUES, GETTING THE JOB YOU WANT.
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT'S AWESOME.
>> Leo Laporte: AND IT'S NOT BY GOING IN THE FRONT DOOR WITH A RESUME, SAYING, "PLEASE, SIR, MAY I HAVE A JOB?" THERE ARE BETTER WAYS.
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT DOESN'T WORK.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT YOU GET HIRED BY -- MOST JOBS GO TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW, RIGHT? IT'S CONNECTIONS.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT DEFINITELY IS. ALL MY JOBS HAVE BEEN THROUGH MEETING PEOPLE.
>> Leo Laporte: I STOPPED LOOKING FOR WORK. I FIGURE IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO I AM, AND I HAVE TO SHOW THEM A TAPE OR A RESUME, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HIRE ME ANYWAY. I ONLY GO TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHO I AM AND WANT TO HIRE ME, RIGHT?
>> Amber MacArthur: YOU'RE LUCKY.
>> Leo Laporte: WELL I'M OLD. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TO THIS AGE. I FOUND OUT -- I JUST FOUND OUT, YOU KNOW, AFTER REALLY WORKING HARD GETTING WORK, IT JUST DOESN'T PAY OFF.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT DOESN'T. JUST LET PEOPLE-- THAT'S AN OLD SALES MAXIM, ONLY SELL TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BUYING.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, I MAKE SURE I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS WHO I'VE HELPED HOOK THEM UP WITH JOBS, THAT UH--
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S ANOTHER THING, DON'T BURN ANY BRIDGES.
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> Leo Laporte: HEY, DO WE HAVE A CALLER ON THE LINE?
>> Amber MacArthur: YES WE DO, WE HAVE DANIEL ON THE LINE FROM CORONA, CALIFORNIA.
>> Leo Laporte: WELL LET'S SAY HELLO TO HIM. A LITTLE TRAVELLING MUSIC, IF YOU PLEASE, THERE GREG.
>> Leo Laporte: HELLO, DANIEL.
>> Daniel: HEY.
>> Leo Laporte: HOW ARE YOU?
>> Daniel: PRETTY GOOD.
>> Leo Laporte: SAY HELLO TO BASIL COWARD, OUR CAMERA NUMBER 1.
>> Leo Laporte: WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, MY FRIEND?
>> Daniel: I HAVE A--
>> Leo Laporte: I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU WITH MY DANCING.
>> Daniel: I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY MODEM.
>> Leo Laporte: OKAY.
>> Daniel: WELL NOT SO MUCH A PROBLEM -- I KIND OF JUMPED. I HAVE 56.2K MODEM ON MY COMPUTER.
>> Leo Laporte: OKAY.
>> Daniel: AND WHENEVER I INSTALL SERVICE PACK 2, AND CONNECT THE COMPUTER, IT JUMPS UP TO 112.
>> Leo Laporte: OH! YOU'RE DOUBLING YOUR MODEM SPEED, JUST BY A SERVICE PACK UPGRADE. ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC!
>> Daniel: AND THEN AFTER A WHILE, AFTER I GET TO GET SOME DOWNLOADS, I GUESS FROM MICROSOFT, I HAVE TO RESTART THE COMPUTER...
>> Leo Laporte: IT GOES BACK TO--
>> Daniel: IT GOES BACK.
>> Leo Laporte: OH MAN. HEY, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, DID IT SEEM ANY FASTER WHEN IT WAS AT 112?
>> Daniel: YES, IT DID.
>> Leo Laporte: YES, IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, SO LET ME-- [Laughing] LET ME TELL YOU -- BUT I TELL YOU, THERE'S A PSYCHOLOGY THERE. MY CAR DRIVES BETTER RIGHT AFTER THE CAR WASH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT EVERYTHING JUST WORKS BETTER AFTER IT'S CLEAN. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. THERE'S TWO WAYS YOU CAN MEASURE THE MODEM SPEED. YOU CAN MEASURE THE SPEED WITH WHICH THE MODEM TALKS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, AND YOU CAN MEASURE THE SPEED WITH WHICH YOUR COMPUTER TALKS TO THE MODEM. THE MODEM IS A 56K MODEM, AND ACTUALLY, IF YOU'RE GETTING 50K, THAT'S REALLY GOOD, DANIEL, THAT'S AS GOOD AS--
>> Daniel: IT'S BEEN AROUND 52.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, THAT'S ACTUALLY THE THEORETICAL LIMIT OF THAT MODEM. A 56K MODEM NEVER GETS TO 56K, AND MOST OF THE TIME, IT'S MORE LIKE 40 TO 45. SO IF YOU'RE GETTING 50 TO 52, YOU'RE GETTING GREAT MODEM SPEED. YOU'LL NEVER GET BETTER. BUT WHEN YOU SEE 112, USUALLY IT'S 115, THAT IS THE-- THAT'S WHAT WE CALL THE DTE TO DCE SPEED, THAT'S THE SPEED WITH WHICH YOUR COMPUTER IS TALKING TO THE MODEM. WELL OF COURSE THAT'S FAST, BECAUSE THE MODEM IS IN THERE, RIGHT.
>> Daniel: YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, AS LONG AS IT'S FASTER THAN THE MODEM IS TALKING TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD. THE ONLY SPEED THAT MATTERS IS THE DCE TO DTE, OR THE SPEED OF THE MODEM TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, THAT'S THE SPEED YOU CARE ABOUT, AND THAT'S THE 50, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE, TO ME, MICROSOFT, WHEN THEY DID SERVICE PACK 2, THEY CHANGED HOW THEY REPORTED THE SPEED. IT'S EASY TO DO, IT'S JUST A SETTING, AND THEN SOMEBODY IN THE LAB WENT, OOPS. [Chuckles] I MADE A MISTAKE.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THEY FIXED IT, AND NOW POOR DANIEL IS BACK TO 50. IT DIDN'T CHANGE YOUR SPEED AT ALL. THE ONLY OTHER TIME YOU MIGHT SEE HIGHER SPEEDS, IS IF COMPRESSION IS GETTING INVOLVED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THE TRUTH IS, THE RAW SPEED IS ABOUT 50K, THAT'S VERY GOOD. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET BETTER THAN THAT. SORRY ABOUT THAT, DANIEL, THEY GOT YOUR HOPES UP.
>> Daniel: WELL--
>> Leo Laporte: YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT-- THE MODEMS DO A LOT OF COMPRESSION, SO IF YOU'RE DOWNLOADING A LOT OF TEXT AND STUFF THAT'S HIGHLY COMPRESSABLE, NOT JPEGS, NOT MP3s, NOT PROGRAMS, BUT IF YOU'RE DOWNLOADING A LOT OF TEXT, YOU CAN GET FASTER SPEEDS BECAUSE OF THE COMPRESSION BUILT INTO THE MODEM, BUT GENERALLY THAT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. OKAY?
>> Daniel: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: SORRY, DANIEL.
>> Leo Laporte: WHEN WE RETURN FROM THE BREAK, STEVE GIBSON IS GOING TO BE HERE TO TELL YOU WHY YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE, MAYBE THREE TIMES BEFORE LEAVING YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK WIDE OPEN. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROTECTING WI-FI, AND WHAT THOSE BAD GUYS ARE DOING. COMING UP NEXT ON CALL FOR HELP. STAY RIGHT HERE.
>> Computer Voice: I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
>> Leo Laporte: MANY PEOPLE NEVER BOTHER SETTING UP PROPER ENCRYPTION FOR THEIR WI-FI NETWORK. YOU KNOW, THEY TAKE THEIR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT, THEIR BRAND NEW LYNKSYS, AND THEY PLUG IT IN, AND THEY TURN ON THEIR COMPUTER, AND IT WORKS, AND WELL THAT'S GOOD, I'M DONE, IT'S WORKING. WELL MAYBE YOUR ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN SHARING ACCESS WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT BEING SNOOPED ON, OR EVEN HACKED, BUT ACCORDING TO OUR SECURITY WHIZ, STEVE GIBSON, THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR HOME WIRELESS NETWORK WIDE OPEN. IT'S EASY TO DO, I MEAN IT WORKS OUT OF THE BOX.
>> Steve Gibson: WELL, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S WHY MOST PEOPLE JUST STOP AT THAT POINT. THEY PLUG THE STUFF IN--
>> Leo Laporte: THEY'RE SO RELIEVED.
>> Steve Gibson: WIRELESS IS A NEW IDEA -- IS IT GOING TO WORK, IS IT NOT, AND SO FORTH, AND IT'S UP AND GOING.
>> Steve Gibson: NOW MANY PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME REASONS, SOME VERY VALID REASONS FOR LEAVING YOUR NETWORK OPEN, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS WHO ARE BRINGING THEIR LAPTOPS OVER AND YOU JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO EASILY USE YOUR NETWORK WITHOUT LOTS OF RIGMAROLE.
>> Steve Gibson: IT'S LIKE, OKAY, THAT'S EASIER.
>> Leo Laporte: MM-HMM.
>> Steve Gibson: SO I DON'T WANT TO TELL PEOPLE, AND I DON'T MEAN FOR US TO SUGGEST, THAT LIKE, YOU HAVE TO LOCK DOWN YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK. WE'LL BE TALKING IN THE FUTURE ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT IF YOU WANT TO. I WANT TO DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT DOING SO.
>> Leo Laporte: OKAY.
>> Steve Gibson: NOW MANY PEOPLE ALSO LIKE THE IDEA OF SHARING THEIR OPEN BANDWIDTH.
>> Leo Laporte: I'M ONE OF THEM.
>> Steve Gibson: YEAH, IT'S--
>> Leo Laporte: I THINK, FINE, YOU KNOW, BORROW A CUP OF BANDWIDTH.
>> Steve Gibson: BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING CHARGED A FLAT RATE BY YOUR PROVIDER. YOU DON'T CARE, UNLESS SOMEBODY IS, LIKE, SUCKING DOWN SO MUCH THAT IT STARTS STARVING YOUR MACHINES.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT YOU'LL KNOW THAT, I MEAN, YOU'LL SEE THAT, OH, THAT'S REALLY SLOW.
>> Steve Gibson: EXACTLY, BUT PEOPLE SHOULD RECOGNISE, ALSO, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CASES WHERE PEOPLE HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD WHY THEIR CONNECTION SEEMS SO SLUGGISH.
>> Steve Gibson: IT TURNS OUT THEIR NEIGHBOURS ARE USING THEIR ACCESS POINT AND THEIR BANDWIDTH, AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN AWARE OF IT.
>> Leo Laporte: RIGHT.
>> Steve Gibson: THEY WEREN'T AWARE THAT WAS A CONSEQUENCE. BUT THE WAY WIRELESS WORKS, WHEN A COMPUTER GETS TURNED ON, THESE ACCESS POINTS SEND OUT A BEACON THAT SORT OF ANNOUNCES THEIR AVAILABILITY. SOME SYSTEMS ARE SMART ABOUT GRABBING THE STRONGEST SIGNAL, BUT DEPENDING UPON YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, I MEAN, THERE ARE REALLY SITUATIONS WHERE THERE ARE FIVE OR SIX ACCESS POINTS ALL AVAILABLE IN YOUR HOME, BECAUSE PEOPLE AROUND YOU--
>> Leo Laporte: RIGHT, BOTH NEIGHBOURS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE WIRELESS.
>> Steve Gibson: RIGHT.
>> Leo Laporte: AND I THINK IT'S VERY COMMON NOW. SO I SEE THREE DIFFERENT ACCESS POINTS, MINE, AND MY NEIGHBOURS', WHENEVER I BOOT UP.
>> Steve Gibson: RIGHT, NOW, THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU JUST TURN YOUR COMPUTER ON, IT'S SORT OF A GRAB BAG WHICH ONE IT'S GOING TO LOG ONTO.
>> Leo Laporte: IT TAKES THE STRONGEST ONE.
>> Steve Gibson: THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS IT'S GOING TO GET YOUR ACCESS POINT. NOW THE OTHER COMPLICATION IS, IF YOU'VE GOT COMPUTERS THAT ARE WIRED, THAT YOU WANT TO TALK TO, YOU MIGHT NOT BE-- WELL YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET TO THEM IF YOUR COMPUTER HOOKS INTO A NEIGHBOUR'S ACCESS POINT. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE GOING, YOU KNOW, THEY THINK SOMETHING IS BROKEN, THEY'RE PULLING THEIR HAIR OUT, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT--
>> Leo Laporte: YOU'RE NOT ON YOUR OWN NETWORK.
>> Steve Gibson: LIKE, YESTERDAY THEY WERE ABLE TO TALK TO A COMPUTER USING FILE SHARING, TODAY THEY CAN'T, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY.
>> Leo Laporte: OR THEY CAN'T PRINT, OR YEAH.
>> Steve Gibson: EXACTLY, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THEIR NEIGHBOUR'S ACCESS POINT. NOW THEN THERE'S ALSO THE LEGAL SIDE OF THIS, AND THAT'S SORT OF STILL UP IN THE AIR. THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE, AS YOU KNOW, WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND CONVICTED FOR FRAUDULENTLY, ILLEGALLY USING SOMEBODY'S OPEN WIRELESS ACCESS POINT. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO HACK IT, THEY JUST HAD TO SORT OF KNOW THAT THEY WERE USING IT.
>> Leo Laporte: THEY WERE JUST USING IT.
>> Steve Gibson: YEAH, BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO USE SOMEBODY ELSE'S--
>> Steve Gibson: ESSENTIALLY USE SOMEONE ELSE'S EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION.
>> Leo Laporte: SO YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT USING YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S. WHAT ABOUT SOMEBODY USING YOURS? YOU'RE NOT REALLY AT RISK FOR THINGS PEOPLE DO WITH YOUR NETWORK--
>> Steve Gibson: AH, YES, BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW THAT THE RIAA IS CLAMPING DOWN ON FILE SHARING AND NOW BIT TORRENT PEOPLE.
>> Steve Gibson: ANYONE WHO IS DOWNLOADING ANY CONTENT ON THE INTERNET, THEIR IP, THEIR UNIQUE INTERNET IP ADDRESS--
>> Leo Laporte: IS VISIBLE.
>> Steve Gibson: IS KNOWN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. THIS IS HOW THE RIAA COMES AND SERVES SUBPOENAS AND LAWSUITS, AND I MEAN IT'S CONVICTING PEOPLE NOW, BY THE HUNDREDS, WHO ARE, LIKE MAJOR FILE DOWNLOADERS.
>> Leo Laporte: WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF CONVICTING IS THE RIGHT WORD. THEY MIGHT BE WINNING THEIR CASES.
>> Steve Gibson: OKAY, THEY'RE WINNING THEIR CASES.
>> Leo Laporte: THEY'RE NOT GOING TO JAIL YET. [Chuckles]
>> Steve Gibson: SO IF YOUR NEIGHBOUR WAS DOING FILE SHARING, USING YOUR ACCESS POINT, MAYBE INADVERTENTLY, MAYBE DELIBERATELY, THEN YOUR IP ADDRESS--
>> Leo Laporte: YOU'RE LIABLE.
>> Steve Gibson: EXACTLY, YOU'RE LIABLE FOR THE CONTENT AND THE BEHAVIOUR THAT IS COMING DOWN THROUGH THERE, SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF ALSO. AND FINALLY, SNIFFING, YOU KNOW, SNIFFING--
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, LET'S TALK ABOUT PRIVACY AND HACKING.
>> Steve Gibson: YES, THAT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO BE AWARE OF, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY FEEL, OKAY, THERE'S REALLY-- I DON'T NEED SUPER SECURITY ON MY SYSTEM BECAUSE I'M NOT REALLY DOING ANYTHING. BUT IT TURNS OUT, THIS WHOLE WIRELESS THING, I MEAN, LITERALLY, THE DATA IS IN THE AIR, AND IF YOUR ACCESS POINT AND SYSTEM ARE OPEN, THEN ANYBODY CAN SEE EVERYTHING YOU DO. THEY KNOW WHAT URLs YOU CLICK ON, WHEN YOU LOG INTO YOUR E- MAIL OVER POP, WHICH IS STILL THE MOST POPULAR PROTOCOL, YOUR NAME AND PASSWORD ARE IN THE CLEAR.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT. IF ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS CATCH THAT ONCE, THEN THEY CAN GET OFF YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK, AND JUST LOG ONTO YOUR E-MAIL AND JUST READ IT FOR THE REST-- UNTIL YOU CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.
>> Steve Gibson: OR USE IT FOR SPAMMING.
>> Leo Laporte: EW... EW...
>> Steve Gibson: AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING, SPAMMING IS A BIG PROBLEM, PEOPLE ARE LOCKING THAT DOWN. SOMEBODY COULD BE USING YOUR BANDWIDTH AND YOUR OPEN WIRELESS TO BE SENDING OUT TONS OF BULK E-MAIL, AND AGAIN, YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
>> Leo Laporte: RIGHT.
>> Steve Gibson: AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS, YOU'D FIND OUT SUDDENLY, YOU CAN'T SEND MAIL.
>> Leo Laporte: BECAUSE YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER SAYS, THAT'S IT.
>> Steve Gibson: BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN BLACKLISTED.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S IT, NO MORE.
>> Steve Gibson: AND YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY ELSE WHO HAD ACCESS.
>> Leo Laporte: SO THEY CAN SNOOP ON YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE LIABILITY ISSUES.
>> Steve Gibson: REAL PRIVACY ISSUES.
>> Leo Laporte: WHAT ABOUT GETTING HACKED? DOES THAT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO YOUR NETWORK IN A WAY THAT THEY COULD GET INTO YOUR SYSTEM?
>> Steve Gibson: YES, IF YOU'VE GOT FILE SHARING, WE NOW KNOW THAT ONE OF THE TYPICAL WAYS VIRUSES SPREAD, IS ACROSS SHARED FILES. SO IF THEY'RE ON YOUR ACCESS POINT, THEY'RE LITERALLY, THEY'RE ON YOUR NETWORK.
>> Steve Gibson: IT'S LIKE YOU PLUG A WIRE INTO YOUR HUB, RUN IT OUT TO THE FRONT YARD WITH A SIGN THAT SAYS, "PLUG IN". I MEAN IT'S THE SAME.
>> Leo Laporte: VERY GENEROUS.
>> Steve Gibson: YES, EXACTLY, IT'S VERY GENEROUS, BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND, THAT CONVENIENT AS IT IS TO HAVE NO ENCRYPTION AND NO PROTECTION OF ANY KIND, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES.
>> Leo Laporte: THERE ARE WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS DOWN THE ROAD, BUT I JUST WANT PEOPLE, IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE FUTURE EPISODE, TO KNOW THAT TURNING ON WPA ENCRYPTION IN YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT--
>> Steve Gibson: THAT'S THE BEST THING.
>> Leo Laporte: IS THE SINGLE BEST THING YOU CAN DO.
>> Steve Gibson: THERE ARE OTHER THINGS, MAC FILTERING...
>> Leo Laporte: THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> Steve Gibson: YES.
>> Leo Laporte: AND ALSO IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO SHARE YOUR WI- FI, WOULD IT WORK TO PUT YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT OUTSIDE ANOTHER ROUTER THAT THEN GOES TO YOUR NETWORK?
>> Steve Gibson: AH... EXACTLY.
>> Leo Laporte: SO THERE ARE WAYS YOU COULD DO THAT AS WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO BE ALTRUISTIC.
>> Steve Gibson: YES.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF, AND THAT'S THE POINT OF THIS SEGMENT, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO BEING SO ALTRUISTIC.
>> Steve Gibson: JUST THINK-- AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING TO EVERYONE, YOU MUST USE ENCRYPTION AND LOCK YOURSELF DOWN. IT'S LIKE, NO, BUT YOU JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT ANYBODY IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD CAN SEE YOU LOGGING INTO THINGS, SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
>> Leo Laporte: WITH VERY SIMPLE FREE SOFTWARE...
>> Steve Gibson: SSL GIVES YOU A SECURE TUNNEL.
>> Leo Laporte: RIGHT.
>> Steve Gibson: SO IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING--
>> Leo Laporte: WHEN YOU'RE BANKING.
>> Steve Gibson: E-COMMERCE, FOR EXAMPLE, EXACTLY. THEN YOU'RE SAFE, AND YOU'RE NOT SNIFFABLE. BUT OTHERWISE...
>> Leo Laporte: AND E-MAIL I THINK IS I THINK, THE BIGGEST HOLE, FRANKLY.
>> Steve Gibson: YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: BECAUSE YOU DO, YOU SEND YOUR E-MAIL PASSWORD OUT ALL THE TIME. OUR THANKS TO STEVE GIBSON. THE WEB WOULD BE A LOT SCARIER-- WELL MAYBE NOT A LOT SCARIER, BUT WE'D HAVE TO WORRY A LITTLE BIT MORE, BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE ALL THESE GREAT PROTECTIONS AND TOOLS AND INFORMATION THAT HE'S GIVEN US.
>> Steve Gibson: AND KNOWLEDGE.
>> Leo Laporte: AND KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU CAN GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HIM AT HIS WEBSITE, grc.com, THAT'S THE HOME OF HIS FABULOUS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FILE SAVING SOFTWARE, CALLED SPIN-RIGHT, THE BEST DISK SOFTWARE OUT THERE, AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE DANGERS OF OPEN WI-FI -- AHH... VISIT callforhelptv.com. THANK YOU, STEVEN.
>> Steve Gibson: ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
>> Leo Laporte: NOW A CHANCE TO GIVE YOU UNLIMITED GUESSES TO OUR NEXT TECH TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE DAY...
>> Leo Laporte: I LOVE ALOTTA FREEZEN, GET TO THE WEBSITE. SHE'S A FABULOUS SINGER. I DON'T THINK SHE INVENTED THE CONTROL-ALT-DELETE. GET TO THE WEBSITE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT, WHEN CALL FOR HELP CONTINUES.
>> Amber MacArthur: WELCOME BACK TO CALL FOR HELP. TIME FOR OUR MAC TIP OF THE DAY. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR QUOTED TEXT COLOUR IN APPLE MAIL. GO TO MAIL, CLICK ON PREFERENCES, AND THEN YOU HAVE AN OPTION TO CHANGE ALL THE DIFFERENT TEXT COLOURS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE COLOURS WHEN PEOPLE ARE REPLYING ALL, TO MESSAGES. AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER CALLER.
>> Amber MacArthur: WE HAVE TYLER ON THE WEBCAM FROM CALGARY, ALBERTA.
>> Leo Laporte: HELLO, TYLER.
>> Tyler: HEY, LEO, HOW'S IT GOING?
>> Leo Laporte: I'M VERY WELL, HOW ARE YOU?
>> Tyler: I'M REALLY GOOD, LIKE THE SHOW.
>> Leo Laporte: GOOD, SO GLAD TO HEAR.
>> Tyler: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT iPODS AND iTUNES LIBRARY AND STUFF. I LISTEN TO YOUR UH, LIKE A LOT OF PODCASTS, BUT I ALSO LISTEN TO A LOT OF MUSIC. AND IT JUST KIND OF BUGS ME WHEN ALL MY PODCASTS ARE MIXED AROUND WITH ALL THE ARTISTS AND STUFF, AND WITHIN iTUNES, IT'S LIKE, YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: THEY'RE ALL MUSHED TOGETHER.
>> Tyler: YEAH, IT'S LIKE THREE LEO LAPORTES FOR ALL YOUR DIFFERENT PODCASTS.
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing] YOU GOT TO STOP LISTENING TO SO MANY OF MY PODCASTS.
>> Tyler: YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: LET ME SHOW YOU, TYLER. ACTUALLY, I'LL SWITCH OVER TO THE MACINTOSH HERE, SO I CAN SHOW YOU THIS, BECAUSE I HAVE iTUNES ON THE MAC. BUT THIS IS THE SAME FOR MAC OR WINDOWS.
>> Tyler: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: THE THING ABOUT iTUNES IS THAT THIS LIBRARY SHOWS EVERYTHING. NOW THEY'VE KIND OF CONFUSED THE ISSUE BY CREATING THIS NEW PODCAST BUTTON, AND YOU SEE YOUR PODCASTS, AND YOU WOULD KIND OF THINK, WELL THE PODCASTS ARE THERE, AND THEN THE LIBRARY HAS EVERYTHING BUT PODCASTS. THAT'S NOT SO. THE WAY THE LIBRARY IS, IT'S EVERYTHING, INCLUDING PODCASTS. BUT IT'S VERY EASY TO CREATE WHAT THEY CALL SMART PLAY LISTS THAT SHOW OR DON'T SHOW THE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE. SO I THINK THE SOLUTION FOR YOU IS GOING TO BE TO CREATE A SMART PLAY LIST.
>> Leo Laporte: WHAT YOU DO YOU HOLD DOWN THE ALT KEY ON WINDOWS OR THE OPTION KEY ON THE PC, AND CLICK THE LITTLE GEAR ICON ON THE LOWER LEFT.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S THE PLAY LIST ICON. IT'S A PLUS UNTIL YOU HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT-- OR THE ALT KEY, AND THEN IT BECOMES A SMART PLAY LIST BUTTON.
>> Tyler: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THEN YOU'LL SEE, THE THING ABOUT SMART PLAY LISTS IS PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST USEFUL THING IN iTUNES, AND FRANKLY I THINK THAT THIS IS WHY EVEN ON WINDOWS, iTUNES IS BECOMING THE PREFERRED CHOICE FOR ORGANISING YOUR MP3s AND YOUR DIGITAL AUDIO, BECAUSE THE SMART PLAY LISTS MAKE IT SO EASY. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS, WE'RE GOING TO SAY, I WANT-- AND WE'LL GO DOWN HERE TO THE PODCAST... THIS IS THE RULE WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT PODCAST IS FALSE. SO WE'RE CREATING A SMART PLAY LIST WHICH CONTAINS EVERYTHING BUT PODCASTS.
>> Tyler: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: I'M GOING TO SAY OKAY, AND THEN I'M GOING TO SAY, MY STUFF-- OOPS, I'M ON THE WRONG KEYBOARD. ... MY STUFF, AND NOW, IF I LOOK IN THIS, MY STUFF, IT'S EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE PODCASTS. THE PODCASTS ARE GONE.
>> Tyler: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED, RIGHT?
>> Tyler: YEAH, TOTALLY.
>> Leo Laporte: GET RID OF LEO LAPORTE, GET HIM OUT OF THERE. BUT YOU CAN ALSO CREATE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SEE HOW POWERFUL THIS IS, IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU EDIT THIS PLAY LIST, WE'LL GO BACK AND WE'LL SEE. YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE CRITERIA, SO YOU COULD SAY, IT'S NOT A PODCAST, BUT ALSO I ONLY WANT TO HAVE IT IF IT'S FROM THE YEAR 1965, OR I ONLY WANT TO HAVE IT-- THIS IS ONE THERE-- LET'S SAY THAT YOU ONLY WANT TO LOOK AT THIS IN THIS FOLDER, PODCASTS, SO I'LL SAY PODCASTS IS TRUE, THAT I'VE NEVER LISTENED TO, SO THE PLAY COUNT IS 0.
>> Tyler: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS FOLDER WILL NOW CONTAIN PODCASTS THAT I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO YET. AND THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD ONE FOR SYNCING UP TO YOUR MP3 PLAYER. ANYWAY, IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON. THIS IS ACTUALLY -- THE SMART PLAY LIST IS WONDERFUL. I'VE GOT-- THE BAD NEWS I HAVE FOR YOU IS THAT THE LIBRARY WILL ALWAYS CONTAIN EVERYTHING, INCLUDING PODCASTS...
>> Tyler: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: ... I'M SORRY TO SAY -- EVEN VIDEO IS IN THERE. AS YOU CAN SEE, I'VE GOT ALL THESE COMMAND END EPISODES.
>> Tyler: YEAH, TOTALLY.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S WHAT LIBRARY MEANS, IT MEANS EVERYTHING.
>> Tyler: SO START USING PLAY LISTS RATHER THAN THE LIBRARY?
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, AND NOT JUST PLAY LISTS, BUT THE SMART PLAY LISTS. THE SMART PLAY LISTS ARE THE KEY. THEY GIVE YOU THE CAPABILITY OF DOING SO MUCH TO ORGANISE YOUR LISTS. AND WHAT'S NICE ABOUT SMART PLAY LISTS, IS THEY ALSO COPY TO YOUR MP3 PLAYER. SO FOR INSTANCE, I USE MY iPOD AS AN ALARM WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD, SO I HAVE A LITTLE-- YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE LITTLE IN MOTION SPEAKER SYSTEMS, AND I SET IT IN THERE, AND I SAY, AT 7:30, WAKE ME UP. AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS WEEK IN TECH, WHEN I WAKE UP.
>> Tyler: [Laughing]
>> Leo Laporte: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO STEVE GIBSON, SECURITY NOW IS NOT THE FIRST THING I WANT TO HEAR WHEN I WAKE UP. I LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE CLASSICAL MUSIC. SO I JUST SAY, THE GENRE IS CLASSICAL, AND I WILL ONLY-- AND THAT PLAY LIST IS THE ONE I HAVE THE ALARM PLAY WHEN I WAKE UP, SO THAT WAY I ONLY HEAR CLASSICAL MUSIC.
>> Tyler: ALL RIGHT.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THEN AGAIN, YOU COULD SAY, I ONLY WANT TO HEAR CLASSICAL IF THE ARTIST DOES NOT CONTAIN BACH, BECAUSE FRANKLY I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING BAROQUE TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING EITHER. I MEAN, YOU GET THE IDEA. THAT'S A SILLY EXAMPLE, BUT THIS IS VERY, VERY POWERFUL. IT REALLY MAKES iTUNES, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST TOOL FOR MANAGING YOUR PLAY LISTS, YOUR MUSIC. OKAY, TYLER?
>> Tyler: OKAY, COOL. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT OPTION WAS THERE, SO--
>> Leo Laporte: OH, IT'S SO COOL. SMART PLAY-- ONCE YOU-- ONCE YOU START PLAYING WITH THIS, YOU AREN'T GOING TO STOP. WE'LL DO SOME MORE TIPS, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN DO WITH THIS.
>> Leo Laporte: I MEAN IT'S JUST VERY, VERY POWERFUL.
>> Tyler: YEAH, TOTALLY COOL.
>> Leo Laporte: ALL RIGHT? HEY, THANKS FOR CALLING, I APPRECIATE IT.
>> Tyler: YEAH, FOR SURE, THANKS A LOT.
>> Leo Laporte: THANKS FOR LISTENING TO THE PODCASTS, TOO.
>> Tyler: YEAH, HAVE A GOOD DAY.
>> Leo Laporte: APPRECIATE IT, TAKE CARE.
>> Leo Laporte: THESE PODCASTS ARE TAKING OVER, YOU KNOW? SOMEBODY ASKED ME, HOW DO YOU HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PODCAST? I SAID, WELL IT HELPS TO HAVE A TELEVISION SHOW WHERE YOU PLUG THE PODCAST INCESSANTLY, thisweekintech.com. ARE YOU SPENDING TOO MANY HOURS AND DOLLARS ON YOUR COMPUTER? MASTERING YOUR VIDEO BLOG OR YOUR HOME MOVIES...
>> Leo Laporte: ARE THEY DRIVING YOU CRAZY? WE'LL SHOW YOU WHERE YOU CAN UPLOAD THE FILES AND MAKE A LITTLE CASHOLA ON THE SIDE. YES, THE HOLY GRAIL OF THE PODCAST AND VIDEO CREATOR, COMING UP WITH AMBER MacARTHUR, WHEN CALL FOR HELP CONTINUES, AFTER THIS WORD, WITH YOU. [Playing Classical Music]
>> Computer Voice: I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
>> Computer Voice: WHAT IF THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS?
>> Leo Laporte: OH HI. [Laughing] I'M ONE OF THOSE KIDS THAT CAN'T SIT STILL, YOU KNOW? A LITTLE ADHD. A LITTLE WHILE AGO -- YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO ROCK THE CHAIR, AND SPIN AND STUFF. A LITTLE WHILE AGO, WE SHOWED YOU HOW TO PUT YOUR VIDEOS ONLINE FOR FREE. TODAY WE'RE GOING TO GO A LITTLE BIT FARTHER. IT'S NICE TO HAVE FREE, IT DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING BUT WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF SOMEBODY WOULD ACTUALLY PAY YOU TO PUT YOUR VIDEOS UP, HMM? IF PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING YOUR MATERIAL, AND IF THEY AREN'T WATCHING, AT LEAST YOU COULD SEND THE LINKS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND GET THEM TO WATCH, AND YOU CAN EVEN UPLOAD THE VIDEOS TO YOUR WEBSITE FOR FREE. AMBER'S HERE TO TELL US HOW TO MAKE A LITTLE MONEY, A LITTLE MOOLAH ON YOUR MOVIES.
>> Amber MacArthur: A LITTLE MOOLAH ON THE SIDE.
>> Leo Laporte: ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS WITH COMMAND END?
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, I DID UPLOAD COMMAND END. I HAVEN'T MADE ANY MONEY YET, SO NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.
>> Leo Laporte: SO UH, SO SHOW US, I'M CURIOUS HOW THEY DO THIS.
>> Amber MacArthur: OKAY, SO THE SITE IS CALLED revver.com. AND IT'S SIMILAR TO A FEW SITES I'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.
>> Leo Laporte: LIKE GOOGLE VIDEO...
>> Amber MacArthur: GOOGLE VIDEO, U-TUBE.COM IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'VE REVIEWED, BUT AGAIN, HOW IT'S DIFFERENT IS THEY ACTUALLY PLACE ADS AT THE END OF THE VIDEOS THAT YOU UPLOAD.
>> Leo Laporte: AH, SEE THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING. YOU DON'T HAVE ADS IN YOUR VIDEO, THEY PUT THEM ON THE END.
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, AND THEY'RE CALLED REV-TAGS, HENCE REVVER. SO YOU SIGN UP, IT'S REALLY, REALLY EASY TO USE, YOU CAN UPLOAD A VIDEO UP TO 100 MEGS, IT TAKES A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT FILE FORMATS, AND WE'LL JUST SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS, AND HOW SOME OF THE ADVERTISING WORKS AS WELL.
>> Amber MacArthur: SO FIRST OF ALL, HERE'S THE HOME PAGE TO REVVER.COM. WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ONE OF THE TOP RATED VIDEOS.
>> Leo Laporte: I THINK A SHORT VIDEO WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY. BECAUSE YOU GET TO THE COMMERCIAL FASTER.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, AND IF YOU GET INTO THE SECTION CALLED, THE BIGGEST MOVERS, OR THE TOP RATED VIDEOS, THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CLICK ON YOUR VIDEO.
>> Amber MacArthur: SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE A LOOK, AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A QUICK, QUICK VIDEO SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE VIDEO ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE, WHAT YOUR VIDEO WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S UPLOADED. SO THIS IS JUST A MARTIAL ARTS LITTLE BLOOPER.
>> Leo Laporte: OH, OW!
>> Amber MacArthur: OUCH, HUH?
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing] OKAY, THAT WAS FUNNY.
>> Amber MacArthur: I KNOW.
>> Leo Laporte: I HOPE HE'S OKAY.
>> Amber MacArthur: PEOPLE-- HE'S OKAY, HE STANDS UP AGAIN.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU KNOW, NAMCHUCKS CAN REALLY HURT, AND THEN THERE'S THE COMMERCIAL.
>> Amber MacArthur: SO THERE'S THE COMMERCIAL AT THE END. YOU SEE, IT'S A LITTLE ADVERTISEMENT. SO THAT COMES AT THE VERY END OF YOUR VIDEO.
>> Leo Laporte: OH, AND IT'S NOT MOVING, IT'S JUST LIKE A BILLBOARD.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT'S JUST LIKE A BILLBOARD SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE IT. SO THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. AND THEN YOU HAVE AN OPTION HERE, WHEN PEOPLE ARE VIEWING IT, PEOPLE CAN SEND IT TO A FRIEND, YOU CAN GET MORE INFORMATION ON IT, OR ADD IT TO ONE OF YOUR PLAY LISTS, SO THAT'S WHAT THE AD LOOKS LIKE AT THE END OF THE PROCESS.
>> Leo Laporte: THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO DO THE BEST, THOUGH, IS THE SHORT LITTLE ONES THAT EVERYBODY SENDS AROUND, THE BLOOPERS.
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, THE LITTLE SILLY, SIMPLE BLOOPERS. THOSE WILL DO REALLY WELL. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO UPLOAD A VIDEO, AND THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS, YOU DOWNLOAD WHAT'S CALLED THE REVVER UPLOAD TOOL, SO THIS IS THEIR UPLOADING CLIENT.
>> Leo Laporte: DOWNLOAD THE UPLOADER.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, DOWNLOAD THE UPLOADER, IT WORKS FOR MACS AND PCs, AND THEN YOU LOG IN WITH YOUR INFORMATION, AND CLICK OKAY. AND ONE THING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS SITE IS HOW EASY IT IS TO USE.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S A BIG BUTTON.
>> Amber MacArthur: I KNOW, IT'S A BIG FAT BUTTON, SO--
>> Leo Laporte: ONE HELL OF A BIG BUTTON THEY'VE GOT THERE.
>> Amber MacArthur: YOU CAN'T REALLY MISS IT, IT'S A GOOD TARGET, SO YOU TAKE YOUR VIDEO.
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing]
>> Amber MacArthur: I'M GOING TO--
>> Leo Laporte: CAN'T YOU MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIGGER, GUYS?
>> Amber MacArthur: I'M GOING TO TAKE AN AVI, A LITTLE SHORT VIDEO THAT I TOOK AT MY COTTAGE OF MY BROTHER PLAYING WITH HIS DOG. AND THEN YOU JUST DROP IT IN THERE, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU KNOW, IT'S ACCEPTING THE VIDEO.
>> Leo Laporte: WOW, THAT WAS FAST.
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: IT'S JUST DOING IT.
>> Amber MacArthur: AND THEN IT WILL JUST UPLOAD IT RIGHT THERE. SO WE HAVE THE LICENSE AGREEMENT, WE'LL GET RID OF THAT. SO I'VE ALREADY UPLOADED THIS VIDEO, SO WE'RE CHEATING A LITTLE BIT HERE. BUT THEN I GO IN, AND WITHIN MY ACCOUNT, I HAVE VIDEOS THAT I'VE ALREADY UPLOADED. ONE IS PUBLIC, SO I'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SAYING, YOU CAN ADD ADS TO THIS, AND THAT TYPE OF THING. THE OTHER IS STILL OFFLINE, AND THAT'S THE VIDEO THAT WE JUST UPLOADED USING THE REVVER UPLOADING CLIENT. SO IF I DECIDE I WANT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO PUBLIC, WHICH MEANS THAT I WANT IT TO APPEAR ON revver.com, I CAN CLICK HERE, AND THEN I HAVE TO PUT IN ALL THE DIFFERENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO, SO I WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, DOG CATCH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THEN I CAN HAVE A SUMMARY, CREDITS, KEY-WORDS, AGE RATING, SO YOU CAN PICK WHAT KIND OF AUDIENCE. THIS IS KIND OF A GOOD THING AS WELL, THAT THEY ALLOW YOU TO DO. AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY THE KEY. YOU DON'T WANT YOU KNOW, CERTAIN KINDS OF ADVERTISEMENTS, AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEOS. SO REVVER GIVES THE OPTION OF NO TOBACCO ADVERTISING, NO ALCOHOL, NO FAST FOOD, NO GOVERNMENT ADVERTISEMENTS, AND ONLY NON-PROFIT ADVERTISEMENTS ONLY. SO I'VE TENDED TO-- THAT'S WHAT I'VE PICKED BEFORE WHEN I'VE UPLOADED VIDEOS HERE. SO THEN YOU JUST MAKE THE VIDEO PUBLIC.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT WILL YOU MAKE ANY MONEY?
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, I KNOW, I KNOW.
>> Leo Laporte: FROM NON- PROFITS?
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT'S THE THING, MOST OF THE ADS, YOU WANT TO-- WELL IT'S UP TO YOU.
>> Leo Laporte: IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY, GET TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL ON THERE, YOU KNOW.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD POINT. I WASN'T GOING TO SAY THAT, BUT I THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SAYING THAT. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY, YOU WANT TO NOT CLICK ANY OF THOSE THINGS, AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN PUT WHATEVER ADS THEY WANT ON THERE. AND SO THEN YOU'VE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS, YOU'VE UPLOADED IT. THE THING TO PAY ATTENTION TO IS THAT IT TAKES 60 DAYS FOR YOU TO MAKE ANY MONEY OFF YOUR VIDEO, AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE MADE ANY MONEY YET OFF OF ANY VIDEOS I'VE UPLOADED. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY NEED LONG ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY VERIFY THAT THE VIDEO IS COMING FROM YOU AND THAT IT'S NOT ANY COPYRIGHT MATERIEL. SO IT MAKES SENSE, YOU COULD DOWNLOAD--
>> Leo Laporte: BUT THEY SERVE IT RIGHT, THEY HAVE A COPY OF IT, SO IT'S NOT--
>> Amber MacArthur: RIGHT, THEY SERVE IT.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS, IT'S NOT COSTING YOU ANY BANDWIDTH.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT'S NOT COSTING YOU ANYTHING. AND ANOTHER THING I WANTED TO ADD IS, A NEAT THING THAT THEY DO IS THEY AUTOMATICALLY ADD YOUR VIDEOS TO THE iTUNES LIBRARY SO I REALLY LIKE THAT IDEA, BECAUSE ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE WITH BANDWIDTH, WITH VIDEOS ONLINE, IS THAT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR VIDEOS INTO THE iTUNES LIBRARY, IT REALLY SUCKS AWAY YOUR BANDWIDTH, BECAUSE THOSE ARE DIRECT DOWNLOADS. EVERY TIME, SOMEONE IS PULLING THAT NEW VIDEO DOWN INTO THE iTUNES PLAYER.
>> Leo Laporte: AND IF IT'S SUCCESSFUL, IT COULD BE THOUSANDS.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, IT COULD COST YOU THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. SO WHAT'S NEAT ABOUT REVVER, IS THAT YOU UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS HERE, YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. IT'S AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO iTUNES, ALSO YOU CAN GRAB CODE TO ADD A LITTLE FLASH PLAYER TO YOUR WEBSITE, WHICH IS REALLY NEAT, AND THEY ALSO SUPPLY YOU WITH A SEPARATE LINK THAT YOU CAN PUT ONTO YOUR WEBSITE, WHICH IS JUST A STRAIGHT HTML LINK THAT YOU CAN ALSO ADD.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS IS GREAT.
>> Amber MacArthur: AND AGAIN, IT ADDS THE REV TAGS TO THE END OF THE VIDEO, SO IT GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO POTENTIALLY MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY.
>> Leo Laporte: AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY, YOU'RE GOING TO-- YOU GET ALL THIS STUFF THAT WOULD COST YOU MONEY.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES.
>> Leo Laporte: SO IN A WAY, EVEN IF-- I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IF YOU MAKE MONEY, YOU GET FREE BANDWIDTH, YOU GET IT ON iTUNES, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
>> Amber MacArthur: AND IT DEPENDS OBVIOUSLY ON HOW MANY PEOPLE CLICK ON YOUR ADS, AND I READ AN ARTICLE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE, BUT I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE "WASHINGTON POST", ABOUT REVVER, AND THEY THREW OUT A NUMBER OF $8 PER 1,000 DOWNLOADS. SO THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU A ROUGH IDEA.
>> Leo Laporte: SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RICH. I MEAN A VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL, VERY SUCCESSFUL VIDEO MIGHT HAVE 100,000 DOWNLOADS, THAT'S $800. I MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RICH DOING THIS.
>> Amber MacArthur: NO, YOU'LL HAVE A LITTLE STARBUCKS MONEY, MAYBE.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH. MIKEY, HOW ARE YOU WITH NAMCHUCKS, BAD, I HOPE.
>> Amber MacArthur: I HOPE.
>> Leo Laporte: WE COULD DO A LITTLE THING OF YOU FALLING OVER KNOCKING YOURSELF IN THE HEAD, THAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT.
>> Amber MacArthur: WE NEED TO DO SOME MIKEY BLOOPERS, THAT WOULD GET A LOT.
>> Leo Laporte: MIKE, I'M TELLING YOU, "SUGAR PIE, HONEY BUNCH"...
>> Amber MacArthur: THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT WOULD BE BIG!
>> Amber MacArthur: THE LAST THING I WANTED TO MENTION ALSO IS WE'LL PUT A LINK IN THE SHOW NOTES ON callforhelptv.com, BUT ON THE SITE techcrunch, THEY'VE DONE A REVIEW OF THE SIX TOP VIDEO UPLOADING SITES, AND THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL FOR--
>> Leo Laporte: THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM, AND WE'VE REVIEWED A FEW, SO I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GO AND THEY CAN REVIEW WHAT EACH DOES. UM, SO THIS IS A REALLY, REALLY HANDY CHART WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE STORAGE CAPACITY, THE PRIVACY, TAGS, CREATION TOOLS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
>> Leo Laporte: BOY, THIS IS EXPLODING.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT REALLY IS.
>> Leo Laporte: I MEAN THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
>> Amber MacArthur: I KNOW.
>> Leo Laporte: IT'S AMAZING.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT'S EXCITING.
>> Leo Laporte: I THINK, WELL YOU KNOW, I WONDER WHAT THE FUTURE IS FOR, AND I HATE TO SAY IT BECAUSE WE'RE ON CABLE TELEVISION, BUT FOR CABLE TELEVISION AND FOR BROADCAST TELEVISION. UH--
>> Amber MacArthur: UH-OH, STOP TALKING.
>> Leo Laporte: FOR MORE ABOUT--
>> Leo Laporte: LET'S PLAY SOME COMMERCIALS, QUICK. FOR MORE ABOUT REVVING UP YOUR VIDEO PRODUCTION WITH REVVER, VISIT callforhelptv.com, AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND AMBER'S SHOW NOTES. AND MORE OF YOUR TROUBLING TECH QUESTIONS COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THESE VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGES. WATCH THESE VERY CLOSELY. I THINK OF THEM AS LITTLE MOVIES ALMOST, REALLY, I DO -- PLEASE.
>> Man: 9- 8, GO TO COMMERCIALS... 7-6--
>> Man: HEY, I'M SLEEPING HERE.
>> Man: HEY, WAKE UP! GO TO COMMERCIALS, 2-1--
>> Amber MacArthur: WELCOME BACK TO CALL FOR HELP. TIME FOR OUR THUNDERBIRD TIP OF THE DAY. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN EASILY ADD A CONTACT TO THE ADDRESS BOOK IN THUNDERBIRD. CLICK ON ADDRESS BOOK, CLICK ON NEW CARD, AND THEN YOU CAN ADD YOUR CONTACT'S NAME. WE'LL TYPE IN ALLY DIXON, THIS IS ONE OF MIKEY'S IDOLS FROM CBC, HE JUST CALLS HER ALLY. AND THEN YOU TYPE IN THE E-MAIL ADDRESS, OTHER INFORMATION AND ANY OTHER PHONE NUMBERS, WHICH MIKEY IS WAITING TO GET.
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing]
>> Amber MacArthur: AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER CALLER, WE HAVE DAVID ON THE LINE FROM ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND.
>> Leo Laporte: IS HE STILL AN ALLY DIXON FAN?
>> Amber MacArthur: YES HE IS.
>> Leo Laporte: HE HASN'T OUTGROWN THAT.
>> Amber MacArthur: BUT I GUESS SHE HASN'T BEEN ON THE SHOW SHE DOES FOR CBC FOR A WHILE, SO HE'S MISSING HER A LITTLE BIT.
>> Leo Laporte: OH, POOR MIKE. HEY, DAVID, HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
>> David: LEO, HOW YOU DOING?
>> Leo Laporte: I'M GREAT.
>> David: I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AN OLD FRIEND, I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU EVER SINCE Z-D NET DAYS.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE BEST ABOUT THIS JOB, IS THAT I HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FRIENDS. I HAVEN'T MET MOST OF THEM, BUT IT'S REALLY GREAT. I FEEL THE SAME WAY, THOUGH, BECAUSE WE SHARE A COMMON INTEREST, DON'T WE?
>> David: MM-HMM.
>> Leo Laporte: AND THAT DOES MAKE US KIND OF A COMMUNITY. SO I'M VERY FORTUNATE TO-- I FEEL THE SAME WAY. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
>> David: WELL I'M APPRECIATIVE, YOU HAVE ME ON THE SHOW, BECAUSE I HAVE A DEFINITE QUESTION.
>> Leo Laporte: YES, SIR.
>> David: OKAY, I TRADE STOCKS, AND WITH ONE SCREEN, IT'S KIND OF TOUGH TO MAKE REAL QUICK TRADES.
>> Leo Laporte: YES.
>> David: IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN HOOK UP TWO MONITORS--
>> Leo Laporte: OH SURE.
>> David: ... ON MY NEW COMPUTER.
>> Leo Laporte: A LOT OF STOCK TRADERS, IN FACT, DO MULTI- MONITOR SETTINGS. IN FACT IF YOU GO DOWN TO NEW YORK, WALL STREET, YOU'LL SEE SOMETIMES THEY'LL HAVE A WALL OF MONITORS.
>> David: CORRECT.
>> Leo Laporte: ... IN FRONT OF THEM. SOME COMPUTER, SOME TV, SOME BOTH. AND YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HAVING MULTIPLE MONITORS FOR THAT KIND OF TASK. YOU CAN KEEP YOUR TRADING TOOL UP ALL THE TIME AND OPEN AND VISIBLE, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR STOCK TICKERS AND EVERYTHING. THAT SECOND MONITOR, IN FACT, IS ALWAYS RUNNING AND YOU COULD DO OTHER STUFF LIKE ANSWER YOUR E-MAIL ON THE PRIMARY MONITOR. SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS TO DO IT. WINDOWS AND MAC BOTH SUPPORT MULTIPLE MONITORS.
>> David: I HAVE WINDOWS.
>> Leo Laporte: OKAY.
>> David: DO YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT GRAPHIC CARD I HAVE?
>> Leo Laporte: I DON'T, BUT I'LL TELL YOU, THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF GRAPHIC CARDS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. THERE ARE MULTIPLE, DUAL HEAD GRAPHIC CARDS, NOW DUAL HEAD GRAPHIC CARDS WILL ESSENTIALLY BE TWO GRAPHIC CARDS IN ONE.
>> David: OKAY.
>> Leo Laporte: AND MATROX AND A NUMBER OF COMPANIES MAKE THESE, WHERE -- NOW THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A DUAL HEAD, AND IT'S NOT.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS CAN BE DECEPTIVE, BECAUSE IT HAS TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF CONNECTORS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A DVI CONNECTOR, AND A VGA CONNECTOR, YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S DUAL HEAD. IT'S NOT. YOU'LL SEE TWO CONNECTORS OF THE SAME TYPE ON A SINGLE CARD. WHEN YOU SEE THAT, THAT MEANS YOU CAN HOOK UP TWO MONITORS, AND YOU'LL JUST GO INTO YOUR DISPLAY SETTINGS AND YOU'LL SAY YOU WANT TO HAVE IT-- THERE'S TWO SETTINGS, YOU CAN HAVE MIRROR, WHICH MEANS BOTH MONITORS ARE THE SAME, YOU DON'T WANT THAT. WHAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF MIRRORING? IS THERE A-- IT'S NOT MIRRORED.
>> David: ADJACENT, MAYBE?
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, I CAN'T THINK OF WHAT IT WOULD BE, BUT YOU COULD HAVE THE MONITORS DO UH, INDEPENDENT, IT'S ESSENTIALLY STRETCHING YOUR DESKTOP ACROSS TWO MONITORS. AND I DO THIS, BY THE WAY AT HOME, AND IT'S REALLY GREAT. NOW I HAVE A MACINTOSH, MOST OF THE MAC G-5s HAVE DUAL DVI OUTPUT, SO I JUST HOOKED UP A SEPARATE DVI MONITOR, AND BOOM THERE IT IS, I HAVE TWO MONITORS. NOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DUAL HEAD CARD, AND BY THE WAY, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW DUAL HEAD CARDS ON THE MARKET NOWADAYS, I MEAN, EVEN ATI AND INVIDIA ARE MAKING DUAL HEAD CARDS, RIGHT, SEAN?
>> David: I LIKE INVIDIA, BUT I'M HAVING A HARD TIME PICKING ONE OUT.
>> Leo Laporte: WELL THE OTHER ISSUE IS, YOU COULD TAKE A SINGLE HEAD CARD AND PUT TWO CARDS IN A COMPUTER.
>> David: OH YOU CAN?
>> Leo Laporte: THERE'S A COUPLE OF DRAWBACKS, FIRST OF ALL, YOU PROBABLY ONLY HAVE ONE AGP SLOT. SO ONE CARD WILL HAVE TO BE PCI, ONE AGP, AND THERE ARE SOME CONFIGURATION ISSUES. THERE'S A GREAT WEB PAGE, I WISH I COULD REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT, MAYBE YOU CAN, SEAN, THAT TALKS ABOUT GETTING DUAL CARDS WORKING.
>> Sean Carruthers: YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE OFF HAND.
>> Leo Laporte: IT'S MUCH EASIER TO GET A DUAL HEAD CARD.
>> Sean Carruthers: I DO WANT TO SAY ONE THING.
>> David: I PREFER A DUAL HEAD CARD, LIKE YOU'RE SUGGESTING.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S MUCH EASIER.
>> Sean Carruthers: YEAH, ACTUALLY, THE ONES WITH VGA AND DVI ON THE BACK, YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE SOME OF THOSE INTO TWO MONITORS.
>> Leo Laporte: SOME, SOME.
>> Sean Carruthers: YEAH, THE OLDER ONES, YOU COULDN'T, THEY WOULD JUST BE ONE OR THE OTHER, BUT A LOT OF THE NEWER ONES--
>> Leo Laporte: SO THE REAL QUESTION IS, WHY DO THEY HAVE TWO CONNECTIONS ON HERE?
>> Leo Laporte: IS IT TO MAKE FOR COMPATIBILITY, OR IS IT BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY SUPPORT.
>> Sean Carruthers: MOST OF THE NEW ONES--
>> Leo Laporte: AND THAT'S WHAT'S BUILT INTO THE CARD.
>> Sean Carruthers: MOST OF THE NEW ONES WILL ACTUALLY DO IT.
>> Leo Laporte: SO IS THIS A DUAL HEAD?
>> Sean Carruthers: THAT IS A DUAL HEAD.
>> Leo Laporte: OH, ALL RIGHT. SO--
>> Sean Carruthers: YOU WOULD JUST NEED AN ADAPTOR TYPICALLY [Inaudible]
>> Leo Laporte: SO YOU WOULD NEED ONE VGA AND ONE DVI, AND THAT WOULD GIVE YOU TWO. SO CAN YOU MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR DAVID FOR AN INVIDIA CARD THAT YOU LIKE?
>> Sean Carruthers: ANY OF THE NEW INVIDIA CARDS WOULD BE FINE. I MEAN IF YOU GO FOR A 6600, IT SHOULD BE PERFECTLY FINE.
>> Leo Laporte: YOU'RE NOT A GAMER, ARE YOU, DAVID?
>> David: PARDON ME, SIR?
>> Leo Laporte: ARE YOU A GAMER?
>> David: NO.
>> Leo Laporte: NO, SO YOU DON'T NEED THE HIGH END SUPER- DUPER 3-D VIDEO CARDS, JUST ALMOST ANY CARD WOULD DO IN THAT CASE. I WOULD LOOK FOR A DUAL HEAD INVIDIA CARD.
>> David: OKAY.
>> Sean Carruthers: EXACTLY.
>> Leo Laporte: THEY'RE NOT EXPENSIVE. WE'RE TALKING 150, 200 BUCKS AT MOST.
>> David: OH THAT'S GREAT.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, MOST OF THE CARDS NOW ARE DUAL HEAD. FOR SOME REASON, THIS IS-- NOW THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT MAKE-- FOR TRADERS, IN FACT, 8- HEAD CARDS AND MORE, AND YOU CAN HAVE THESE BIG SETUPS, BUT I THINK, LET'S STOP--
>> David: ALL I NEED IS TWO.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, LET'S DO TWO. I DO TWO, AND I TELL YOU, ONCE I STARTED DOING TWO, IT'S PRETTY HARD TO GO BACK.
>> David: OH YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: IN FACT, WHAT I'VE DONE, WHICH IS KIND OF NEAT, IS I'VE GOT TWO MONITORS ON MY DESK, SIDE BY SIDE, WHEN I'M USING MY MAIN COMPUTER, I SEE THIS STRETCHED OUT DISPLAY, BUT I ALSO HAVE A SWITCHER, A KVM SWITCHER.
>> Leo Laporte: SO THE SECONDARY MONITOR CAN ALSO BE SWITCHED TO OTHER COMPUTERS. SO I COULD HAVE MULTIPLE COMPUTERS, OR A SINGLE COMPUTER STRETCHED OUT ACROSS THE TWO, WHICH GIVES YOU SOME REAL FLEXIBILITY. I'M RUNNING THREE DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEMS, COMMONLY, MACINTOSH, LINUX AND WINDOWS, SO I HAVE THEM SWITCHED BETWEEN THE THREE. IF I'M RUNNING MY MAIN COMPUTER, WHICH IS A MAC, I'LL HAVE THE MAC STRETCHED TO THE TWO DISPLAYS, BUT IF I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON ON MY LINUX MACHINE, I JUST PRESS A BUTTON, THAT SECOND DISPLAY GOES TO LINUX, PRESS ANOTHER BUTTON, IT GOES TO THE WINDOWS. SO THAT'S REALLY A NICE CONFIGURATION.
>> David: YES, BUT YOU'RE A MASTER.
>> Leo Laporte: WELL...
>> David: AND I AM JUST AN OLD TRADER.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT I THINK YOU COULD DO THIS, DAVID. I THINK YOU CAN. SO DO YOU DO WELL IN TRADING? ARE YOU A DAY TRADER?
>> David: YEAH, I DO DAY TRADING, AND I'M TRYING TO--
>> Leo Laporte: WOW.
>> David: ... GET BACK UP AND RUNNING NOW. AND OH, I WAS LOOKING AT MY VIDEO CARD HERE, IT DOES HAVE A PCI EXPRESS SLOT AVAILABLE.
>> Leo Laporte: OH, THAT'S GOOD.
>> David: IS THAT UH...
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S THE WAY TO GO. IF YOU HAVE A COMPUTER WITH PCI EXPRESS, ABSOLUTELY.
>> David: OH REALLY?
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, IT'S THE FUTURE OF VIDEO CARDS, AND YOU'LL JUST GET MORE LIFE OUT OF THAT VIDEO CARD. PCI EXPRESS IS A BETTER SOLUTION.
>> David: OH, OKAY.
>> Sean Carruthers: [Inaudible]
>> Leo Laporte: NO, I'LL FIND IT. WE'VE MENTIONED IT BEFORE. PATRICK NORTON WAS A BIG FAN OF THIS SITE. IT WAS A SITE WHERE THE GUY HAD ACTUALLY GONE THROUGH ALL THE POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS. IT'S NOT EASY TO DO TWO CARDS, BUT DAVID'S NOT GOING TO DO THAT, HE'S GOING TO BUY A DUAL HEAD CARD. THAT WAS THE OLD DAYS WHEN WE REALLY HAD TO HACK THIS STUFF OUT.
>> David: RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY.
>> Leo Laporte: ALL RIGHT, DAVID, ENJOY.
>> David: WELL I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING MY CALL, LEO.
>> Leo Laporte: I BLESS YOU FOR WATCHING.
>> David: YOU ARE THE GREATEST.
>> Leo Laporte: THANK YOU, YOU TOO, TAKE CARE.
>> David: BYE-BYE.
>> Leo Laporte: SEE, OLD FRIENDS, YEAH. BUT DAY TRADING, HE'S A BRAVE MAN. THAT'S A SCARY THING TO DO. HAVING TABS ON YOUR BROWSER. THEY CAN BE A LIFESAVER, ACTUALLY MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR ME TO SURF. YOU CAN CALL UP A BUNCH OF PAGES AT ONCE, AND CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, BOUNCE AROUND THE INTERNET WITH EASE. BUT YOU CAN DO A LOT MORE WITH TABS THAN JUST LOAD THEM UP AND HAVE THEM SIT THERE WAITING FOR YOUR MOUSE TO POUNCE. AMBER IS HERE TO TELL US MORE.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES I AM.
>> Leo Laporte: A LITTLE TAB MAGIC.
>> Amber MacArthur: YES, A LITTLE TAB MAGIC. SO THIS IS A FIREFOX EXTENSION, SO IT'S A DOWNLOAD THAT WORKS WITH THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX, WHICH, RIGHT NOW, IS 1.5.
>> Leo Laporte: BY THE WAY, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT'S GUARANTEED TO GET PEOPLE GOING, OOH, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
>> Amber MacArthur: YES. AND IT'S A REALLY, REALLY SIMPLE THING. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST SIMPLE FREE FILES I'VE DONE, BUT IT'S PRETTY HANDY.
>> Leo Laporte: I LOVE IT.
>> Amber MacArthur: SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK. IT'S CALLED TAB PREVIEW, AND AS I MENTIONED IT ONLY WORKS WITH FIREFOX 1.5. ALL IT DOES, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BROWSER, IN FIREFOX, AND YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF TABS LOADED, SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE ON CBC.CA, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ROLL OVER THE TAB. SO THERE'S THE PROGRAM, THERE'S A PICTURE OF MIKEY'S FRIEND ALLY DIXON.
>> Leo Laporte: SO IT SHOWS YOU WHAT'S UNDER THAT TAB.
>> Amber MacArthur: IT SHOWS YOU WHAT'S UNDER THAT TAB, SO YOU CAN SEE THERE, YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE THUMBNAIL SO YOU CAN HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT TAB YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO THE NEXT TIME. SO IT'S A LITTLE TAB PREVIEW, SO YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO TO THE NEXT TAB THAT YOU HAVE OPEN IN FIREFOX.
>> Leo Laporte: SO COOL.
>> Amber MacArthur: AGAIN, JUST A SIMPLE LITTLE FREE FILE, A LITTLE EXTENSION. THERE'S TONS OF FIREFOX EXTENSIONS, BUT THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE BEST ONES THAT WORKS.
>> Leo Laporte: NOW THE CURRENT STABLE VERSION, AS WE TALK, IS FIREFOX 1.07, I THINK, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOVING TO FIREFOX 1.5 SOON. IT'S CURRENTLY IN BETA. I BET BY THE TIME PEOPLE SEE THIS, IT WILL BE...
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE OUT ANY DAY NOW.
>> Leo Laporte: ARE YOU USING 1.5 NOW?
>> Amber MacArthur: I'M USING 1.5, BUT I'M USING THE OLD VERSION AS WELL, JUST BECAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT EXTENSIONS THAT WORK WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, 1.5 SEEMS VERY STABLE, I'VE BEEN USING IT FOR A WHILE, AND IT'S VERY RELIABLE, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK WITH ALL THE THEMES AND EXTENSIONS, THEY ALL HAVE TO BE UPDATED.
>> Amber MacArthur: THEY ALL HAVE TO BE UPDATED, SO EVENTUALLY, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE MOVE OVER WHEN ANYTHING IS IN BETA, LIKE A BROWSER, BUT IT'S FUN TO TEST, BUT KEEP THE OLD VERSION OF FIREFOX ON YOUR COMPUTER AS WELL, JUST IN CASE.
>> Leo Laporte: ON THE MAC, DO YOU USE FIREFOX OR SAFARI?
>> Amber MacArthur: I USE FIREFOX. I CAN'T GET INTO SAFARI. I'VE TRIED SO HARD, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO GET ME HOOKED ON SAFARI, BUT I CAN'T, I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL.
>> Leo Laporte: IF YOU LIKE FIREFOX, NO REASON NOT TO, AND YOU USE A LOT OF EXTENSIONS.
>> Amber MacArthur: YEAH, I DO, I USE QUITE A FEW EXTENSIONS.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S PROBABLY WHY. YOU GET USED TO ALL THOSE CAPABILITIES.
>> Amber MacArthur: I KNOW, I GET SPOILED. [Laughing]
>> Leo Laporte: AFTER THE BREAK, JUST WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOUR JOB SEARCH WILL NEVER END, THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY RESUMES YOU SEND OUT, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET A RESPONSE, WELL YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS, YOU CAN GIVE UP, OR YOU CAN STAY TUNED FOR GUERRILLA JOB HUNTING TIPS FROM DAVID PERRY. THAT'S COMING UP, BUT FIRST IT'S TIME TO TEST YOUR TECH KNOWLEDGE, WITH TODAY'S NEXT TECH TRIVIA CHALLENGE. ONE MORE CHANCE TO ANSWER THIS ONE...
>> Leo Laporte: WELCOME BACK TO CALL FOR HELP. BEFORE THE BREAK, WE ASKED YOU...
>> David PErry: YEAH, JAY IS INCREDIBLE.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, YEAH, AND GUERRILLA MARKETING IS BRILLIANT. SO YOU CAN USE THOSE SKILLS, THE SAME TECHNIQUES TO GET A JOB? ABSOLUTELY, YOU CAN TRANSFER EVERYTHING OVER FROM THE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY RIGHT INTO LOOKING FOR A JOB.
>> David Perry: AND I'VE GOT TO ASK YOU, WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU WATCHED A BLACK AND WHITE TV?
>> Leo Laporte: OH, IT'S BEEN YEARS, RIGHT?
>> David Perry: WHY DO I GET 1,000 OF THESE--
>> Leo Laporte: A BLACK AND WHITE RESUME.
>> David Perry: ... EVERY WEEK?
>> Leo Laporte: GOOD POINT, SHOULD YOU DO YOUR RESUME IN COLOUR?
>> David Perry: YES, DO A ONE PAGER.
>> Leo Laporte: HERE, LET ME HOLD IT UP SO WE CAN GET A SHOT OF IT.
>> David Perry: DON'T GIVE ME THREE PAGES OF BLACK AND WHITE TEXT. THE OBJECTIVE OF A RESUME--
>> Leo Laporte: IT SHOULD BE ONE PAGE, RIGHT?
>> David Perry: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, BUT WE SAY IT SHOULD BE, AND THE REASON IS, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE, THAT'S NOT THE RATIONALE FOR A RESUME. AS A JOB HUNTER, I WANT YOU TO CALL ME AND INVITE ME IN FOR AN INTERVIEW.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS IS JUST AN AD, REMEMBER THAT.
>> David Perry: IT'S LINGERIE. IT'S LINGERIE FOR JOB HUNTERS.
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing] SO WHAT REALLY-- WHAT WAS THE PUSH UP BRA OF THE RESUME, THEN, WOULD IT BE THESE COLOUR ICONS DOWN THE SIDE?
>> David Perry: ABSOLUTELY.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT GETS MY EYE.
>> David Perry: AND THIS STARTED BECAUSE, LIKE, I HAD THIS GUY PHONE ME, AND HE WAS GIVING ME A HARD TIME BECAUSE I WASN'T RETURNING HIS CALLS. AND I SAID TO HIM, ONE DAY, I SAID, "LISTEN, YOU'RE NOT THE KIND OF GUY I REPRESENT", AND HE SAID, "SURE I AM, I WON THE NORTEL PRESIDENT'S AWARD THREE TIMES." AND I SAID, "IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO PUT IT ON YOUR RESUME, DON'T YOU THINK?"
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing]
>> David Perry: AND HE SAID, "I DID." I SAID, "WHERE?" HE SAID, "IT'S ON THE THIRD PAGE LAST PARAGRAPH."
>> Leo Laporte: IT'S ON THE THIRD PAGE, OF COURSE. AND I SAID, "COME ON, GIVE ME A BREAK."
>> Leo Laporte: PUT IT IN THE FRONT.
>> David Perry: SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID, I DID A ONE PAGER FOR HIM, JUST STRENGTHS, JUST ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND WE ACTUALLY TOOK PICTURES OF THE THREE AWARDS AND STUCK THEM ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
>> Leo Laporte: SO I WON AN EMMY AWARD ONCE, A LONG TIME AGO. I SHOULD PUT THAT RIGHT THERE ON THE RESUME.
>> David Perry: IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A JOB, YES.
>> Leo Laporte: FORTUNATELY, I'M NOT, BECAUSE I HAVE AN EMMY AWARD, I DON'T NEED A JOB. SO THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. SO PUT THOSE RIGHT THERE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM. SO THIS IS A COME-ON. WHAT OTHER TIPS DO YOU HAVE? I LOVE THAT.
>> David Perry: YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT MY E-MAIL INBOX LOOKS LIKE EVERY DAY.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH.
>> David Perry: AND I DON'T CARE.
>> Leo Laporte: PEOPLE LOOKING FOR WORK.
>> David Perry: AND I DON'T READ IT UNTIL I GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS IS GREAT, I LOVE THESE. SO THIS BAD -- THIS GOOD.
>> David Perry: THIS GOOD. AND THAT WAS, TOM WEISHER, WHO JUST LANDED A JOB AS A VP BIS- DEV HERE IN TORONTO, HE ACTUALLY LIVES IN PHILADELPHIA, BY THE WAY. YOU CLICK ON THAT AND IT TAKES YOU TO HIS WEBSITE.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT HOW DO YOU GET-- OH, I GET IT.
>> David Perry: IT TAKES YOU TO HIS WEBSITE AND THEN YOU STEP THROUGH THE WEBSITE, OR TOM WILL SEND YOU THAT, CALL YOU AND SAY, ARE YOU IN FRONT OF A BROWSER? IF YOU ARE, LET ME STEP YOU THROUGH IT.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A RESUME, BUT REALLY IT'S MORE LIKE A MARKETING BROCHURE.
>> David Perry: IT'S GOT MARKETING, IT'S E-MAIL TECHNOLOGY. IT'S FREE, YOU CAN USE IT FOR NOTHING.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, RIGHT, RIGHT.
>> David Perry: SO YOU CAN EITHER FIND A JOB, OR YOU CAN DO WHAT THIS GENTLEMAN DID, AND PUT UP A WEBSITE --
>> Leo Laporte: HE CREATED HIS OWN JOB.
>> David Perry: WELL HE CREATED HIS OWN BUZZ, HE PUT UP SOME OF HIS OWN PROJECTS, AND I'M LOOKING ONE NIGHT FOR A WEB DEVELOPER TO DO SOME WORK FOR ME, AND I GOOGLED HIM, AND BANG. AND HE WASN'T SETTING THIS UP TO FIND A JOB, IT WAS JUST HIS PROJECTS, BUT WHAT A WAY TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT YOU'RE OPEN.
>> Leo Laporte: THE WEB GIVES YOU SO MUCH MORE YOU CAN DO NOW.
>> David Perry: OH, IT'S INCREDIBLE.
>> Leo Laporte: SO YOU SHOULD REALLY SEE THE WEB AS A MARKETING TOOL FOR YOU.
>> David Perry: AND THEN WE GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS THREE DAYS AGO FROM ONE OF OUR CLIENTS.
>> Leo Laporte: THIS ISN'T GOING TO HELP AT ALL. WHAT IS THAT?
>> David Perry: THIS IS A BOX. I GOT THIS IN A BROWN PAPER BAG, A BROWN PAPER BAG, AND OF COURSE, CURIOUS, I OPEN IT UP, AND WHAT DO I FIND? I GET THIS CARD. THIS IS WHAT THE CARD SAYS.
>> Leo Laporte: "NEED EXPERIENCE, CREATIVITY, ON YOUR MANAGEMENT TEAM?" AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, I LOVE THIS, AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE IT SAYS...
>> David Perry: "THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX".
>> Leo Laporte: I LOVE THAT.
>> David Perry: SEE LOOK AT THE LITTLE LOGOS...
>> Leo Laporte: THESE ARE ALL THE AWARDS.
>> David Perry: IT LAUNCHES TO HIS WEBSITE, JEFFDODGE.COM, SO I DO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX--
>> Leo Laporte: THERE'S NOTHING ELSE IN THE BOX?
>> David Perry: SO I TURN THE BOX UPSIDE DOWN...
>> Leo Laporte: [Laughing]
>> David Perry: AND HERE'S ANOTHER PITCH. NOW I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU--
>> Leo Laporte: THIS IS GOOD THINKING.
>> David Perry: I GET 1,000 E- MAILS A DAY, AND A COUPLE OF HUNDRED PIECES OF MAIL.
>> Leo Laporte: BUT YOU NOTICED THIS ONE.
>> David Perry: THIS STICKS OUT. NOW I HAPPEN TO KNOW JEFF, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS JEFF UNTIL I ACTUALLY OPENED IT UP.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT'S VERY CLEVER.
>> David Perry: NOW DID I CALL HIM BACK? ABSOLUTELY, I CALLED HIM BACK RIGHT AFTER I WENT TO THE WEBSITE.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> David Perry: AND THIS IS JUST-- THIS IS COMMON SENSE MARKETING STUFF THAT'S AVAILABLE IN ANY-- IN THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT OR SECTION OF ANY BOOKSTORE. IT'S JUST--
>> Leo Laporte: GET CREATIVE.
>> David Perry: PEOPLE DON'T BRING IT INTO THEIR JOB, AND THEY HAVE TO.
>> Leo Laporte: I ONCE SENT OUT A RESUME WITH A PACKET OF INSTANT COFFEE STAPLED TO IT, SAYING, "HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE AND LISTEN TO MY TAPE."
>> David Perry: YEAH.
>> Leo Laporte: THAT WORKED, THAT WORKED.
>> David Perry: WE HAVE TO BE CREATIVE. EVERYBODY SAYS, WELL I'M CREATIVE, I'M ENTREPRENEURIAL, I'M OUTGOING.
>> Leo Laporte: SHOW ME.
>> David Perry: PROVE IT TO ME, SHOW ME!
>> Leo Laporte: PARTICULARLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A JOB IN MARKETING, BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A JOB IN ACCOUNTING OR SOMETHING SERIOUS, DON'T YOU THINK THAT THESE KINDS OF THINGS MIGHT MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS?
>> David Perry: NO, BECAUSE YOU-- YOU DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO USE THAT. LIKE WE HAVE 400--
>> Leo Laporte: IT COULD BE KOOKY.
>> David Perry: WE HAVE 400 OF THEM IN THE BOOK, BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A JOB AS AN ACCOUNTANT, MAYBE THIS ISN'T THE BEST WAY TO GO. WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS PHONE UP THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT OF THE COMPANY YOU WANT TO WORK FOR.
>> Leo Laporte: YEAH.
>> David Perry: AND YOU WANT TO ASK THEM, WHO DO YOU USE TO HIRE YOUR ACCOUNTANTS?
>> Leo Laporte: RIGHT.
>> David Perry: AND THEY'LL GO WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THAT? AND YOU'LL GO, BECAUSE I WANT TO WORK THERE, BUT I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OPENINGS, SO I WANT TO KNOW WHO YOUR SEARCH FIRM IS, OR WHO YOUR AGENCY IS, SO I CAN PHONE THEM, SO THEY CAN PLACE ME THERE.
>> Leo Laporte: OH, INTERESTING.
>> David Perry: AND THE GUY'S GOING TO THINK FOR A MILLISECOND, AND GO, WELL WHAT KIND OF JOB ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
>> Leo Laporte: MAYBE I SHOULD TALK TO THIS GUY.
>> David Perry: MAYBE I SHOULD TALK TO YOU, AND BOOM, AWAY YOU GO.
>> Leo Laporte: AGAIN, THINKING OUT OF THE BOX, DOING SOMETHING CREATIVE, THE KEY IS TO MAKE YOURSELF STAND OUT, ISN'T IT?
>> David Perry: CORRECT.
>> Leo Laporte: BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING FOR THE SAME JOB.
>> David Perry: AND IT'S GOING TO GET TOUGHER, AND AS THE ECONOMY CHANGES AND WE BECOME, YOU KNOW, MORE GLOBALISED, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO BE LOOKING FOR A JOB, OR AT LEAST JOB AWARE, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
>> Leo Laporte: USED TO BE YOU'D HAVE A JOB YOUR WHOLE LIFE, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
>> David Perry: IF YOU MOVED AROUND, YOU WERE A BAD BOY.
>> Leo Laporte: YES.
>> David Perry: NOW, IF YOU DON'T MOVE AROUND EVERY TWO YEARS, IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.
>> Leo Laporte: IS THAT TRUE?
>> David Perry: YES IT IS.
>> Leo Laporte: ... ON MY RESUME, IF IT SAYS, FOUR DIFFERENT, FIVE DIFFERENT JOBS IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, THAT'S NOT A BAD THING?
>> David Perry: NO, THAT'S NOT A BAD THING, IT'S A GREAT THING. IT MEANS YOU'RE PLACEABLE. YOU KNOW, ALL THEY DO IS REFERENCES ON YOU, GREAT GUY, GREAT, SO LET'S EMPLOY HIM.
>> Leo Laporte: INTERESTING, INTERESTING. DAVID IS THE MANAGING DIRECTOR AT ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S TOP TECHNOLOGY RECRUITMENT AND PLACING FIRMS, AND THE AUTHOR OF THIS.
