New new Google Voice Widget won’t fit in the sidebar (yet) so I wanted to give you a way of using it. Basically, click on it, enter your phone number, and Google will call whatever phone number you enter and the new AV Rant line. It’s easy and kind of cool in a big brother sort of way. Of course, I have no idea what Google does with your number but I’m sure they are “doing no harm” right? If you want to call directly, just use 479-OFF-RANT (633-7268).
This week we have the honor of having the HT guys, Ara and Braden, on AV Rant. Tom talks with the guys about them, their gear, and their show. If you’re not already listening, you should. You know what is cool about Internet Direct gear? It doesn’t get stolen. Thoughts on DLP, a HT Guys meetup, and a how their podcast came about. A bit about cable resolution, listener questions, and why they think the DVR is the best thing since sliced bread. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley. Read more…
Dina’s back, and then back again. You’ll get it once you hear the podcast. Leif’s second question is answered. $1000 system is recommended (sort of). As a follow up, not including the display, you should spend 50% on speakers, 25% on receiver, and 25% on everything else. At least that’s what Tom thinks. Will commercials get quieter? Eventually. Spenser got screwed. GameStop may be in for a rocky road. Nerdcore Rising is… well, what it is. Finally, a free MMO. If you haven’t already, nominate us over at the Podcast Awards.

Dina’s having a girls only week so apparently that doesn’t include AV. Yes, the logic escapes us too. Mark is this weeks guest host and he has a lot to say about Def Tech (let the hate mail begin). Leif has a question about diffusion which leads into a question from Rob about affordable absorption. Tom has a few choice words for Sony, Gelato, and Comcast. He also has a theory on why Toshiba doesn’t seem to care that their displays are so thick. Tom was on the HT Guys this week – check it out. If you are looking for a link to the Podcast Awards, we suggest us for Tech and either one of the two on the top. Make sure you support all your other favorite podcasts as well.

This week Tom and Dina talk about Starbucks, Natal, and the Beatles. UPS really did one on John. Akamai HD looks to be pretty interesting – check it out if you haven’t already. Tom is going to be on the HT Guys – next week (not this one like he thought). A receiver you want but shouldn’t have. A bit about Tom’s upcoming Axiom M0 review.
