Tech myth – do hard drives get heavier?:

This post on TechEBlog exposes a misconception that our hosts waste no time in crushing. Adding data to your computer’s hard drive does NOT increase the weight of the computer.

Tech Review – Ustream.tv app for the iPhone:

Jake has been spending some time with the Ustream application for the iPhone. For a service that focuses on live stream over the web, the first major disappointment with this mobile iteration is that it does not stream video to the web from the camera, but rather only uploads pre-recorded videos. Listen in to hear the rest of Jake’s review.

Tech Review – Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24in Widescreen LCD Monitor:

Jordan has recently acquired a new monitor in his home studio. The 24in monitor from Dell comes in at a pricey $550 (vs cheaper units from Dell) but makes up for the high price with a plethora of inputs, and a super high quality display.
