CNET Tech News has been available for almost two months on broadband-connected Series 2 units. I regularly watch the weekly 15-minute shows, though I find myself fast forwarding through about 50% of each installment (some of these editors are not meant for TV; I don’t care about Best Buy or Sony commercials).
In the latest episode, Bonnie Cha gives us the low-down on Motorola’s Q. I know most of you come here for hard-hitting, investigative reporting ;) so when I saw what looked to be a real phone number on my TiVo… I called it. This happens to be Bonnie’s CNET line — they’re using ShoreTel IP phone tech. While I was hoping for Molly Wood’s cell, I did leave a message thanking Bonnie for a nice review.
You’d think they’d know better – I notice they’re always careful to show the BACK of credit cards when doing a size comparison – but even that is risky. It can expose the CVV/CVC2 and the card number may be made out from the impressions in the back if someone cared to try. Using some other plastic card would be better.
I noticed they used a Starbucks card for size comparison rather than a credit card in one bit this time. We also noticed Molly Wood signed off twice and had no idea what that was about.
I haven’t been able to find where I subscribe to these. My ‘Movies, Photo’s and more’ doesn’t list CNet. Could that be because I’m in Canada? Still, I’d love to get them.
I don’t know if this is being offered in Canada. If you do have access, you would see CNET on your Showcases screen… along with the currently-between-hosts Rocketboom.
I live here in the USA and “warrenpeace” is correct. I too am on a wireless network with my TIVO, as of this past month, and while Rocketboom is offered on the Showcases screen, CNET is not listed for me either. And I’ve been looking.
