Posted 04/25/08 at 01:39:26 AM by The Maximum PC Staff
Dave, Will, Gordon, and Andy tackle all the huge tech news of the week on the 65th go-around of this awesome podcast, featuring stories like:
- Why AMD (and not Intel) Wants a Tri-Core Processor
- Why the Velociraptor is the fastest consumer-level hard drive around
- Why Nvidia thinks GPUs are the future (go figure!)
- Why we think this GUI for websites is awesome. (this one is ok too)
As always, we chat about our crazy goings-on in the Maximum PC lab, and answer each-and-every one of your reader questions... that's under 60 seconds in length.

P.S. The drive-by was awesome ... I'm still laughing a week later with the mental image of it.

Maybe they thought the satanic podcast (#66) wasn't worth producing this time...or else Gordon wasn't pissed off enough for the weekly rant :D

Image Resizer

A bit late, but you can also use Picasa to resize images. Just select the images you want to resize and export them. You will get a few options to change resolution, quality, etc. It is pretty simple, but I easily take my 2mb each pictures down to 100kb each. I use that, since Picasa also imports from my camera and organizes my pictures for me.
woot

glad you're back will! the podcast is always good, but it's even better when it's full of smithy-goodness.
there was a question on the podcast about a program that will batch-process photos. i know several suggestions were given, but here's one more: irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm). love this program, and it's free!!

Irfanview is great for batch processing in resizing/renaming/change format photos, and its free!

Sure, I want a guy who doesn't know what a Caesar salad is watching my back during the zombie apocalypse.
Cooliris has to be good

Cooliris has to be good right? Look how many gradients it has. Fuckin looks like an apple app.
Gordon is right, the web was better when it was all text based and before every 14 year old was filling up my tubes with their myspace and facebook page. They don't even know what IRC is.
If you started using the web after 1997, please uninstall your browser and gtfo my information superhighway.
Thanks for reading.

They fixed the youtube problem via the search bar, the developers must listen to Max PC's pod cast lol
ESDF >WASD
Submitted by Ristar on Fri, 04/25/2008 - 5:41am
I totally agree with you on the ESDF instead of WASD. I know it wasn't much of a topic, but using ESDF makes it much easier when playing FPS's. \ and z can be used to lean left and right, aqwrftg12345 can be used to bind weapons too. Even on games like WoW it frees up another 3-4 keys which can be bound to (which is important in a game with so many buttons).
-Great podcast.
