How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
Have you seen Mythbusters on the Discovery channel? Well, it's a tough job separating truth from urban legend, but the MythBusters are here to serve. Each week special-effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman take on three myths and use modern-day science to show you what's real and what's fiction. I ran into them at Maker Faire for this behind the scenes interview.

Never heard that one. You and Tina should test it out...do your own Mythbusters episode.
Oh, and nice shirt, Laura.

Here's a myth for you that's VERY easy to bust: "Macintosh computers are better suited for graphics and are more powerful tools for video-editing, 2D image manipulation and 3D animation/rendering."
Care to stop that one into the ground for us?

Mythbusters is be pimp, as they say in the hood.

Bust or Confirm
1. Liquid Cooling cools your processor well enough to provide a noticable difference in processing power over convention heatsink/fan
2. That people somehow need 3+Ghz 2GB RAM to browse the net and play solitare
3. CD-ROMs last a gajillion years if stored away
4. Placing a cracked but still intact CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive will cause the CD-ROM to explode upon wind-up
5. Placing a magnet on a hard drive will wipe the all info
6. fully submerging a motherboard, or any component for that matter, under fresh water then letting it fully dry will not harm the components.
7. You can make money off the precious metals found in computer components
8. You actually get use the full downloading potential of your internet connection
9.Staring at the light emmited by a optical mouse can blind you.
10. LCD screens give off no more radiation than a piece of paper reflecting sunlight

That's all I have to say about that.

How about an entire show on the drastically dreaded and much maligned Starforce so-called "copy protection" and just how badly it affects PC systems? I've never had the displeasure but there sure is an awful lotta talk about it.
Also, Laura, would there be any chance of a 10 version of "Host Challenges"? You once played for me on G4 when I was Cheeky Monkey there.
Great shirt, too!

That would be a hard to bust objectively. How about: Macintosh computers are more reliable and less likely to crash or fall victim to viruses than Windows based PCs. Bear in mind, I use both platforms so I could give you a reasonable answer.
btw...Laura's shirt is the bomb! I need one of those to wear under my Air Force BD uniform! LOL!

I think I've seen every episode of this show 3 or 4 times but it's still awesome stuff. Great to watch while grinding Furbolg faction
Just giving you a hard time.
