No BS Podcast #77 The Going for the Gold Edition

Tom Edwards — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:43:26 -0500

The podcast gang supplies our listenership with gold-medal-worthy tech advice this week! We lead off with a discussion of what your email address says about you and then crown the winner of our Win a Dream Date with Norm competition. Unfortunately, the man of the hour was out of the office working on his high bar routine, but we sifted through the entries, judged each participant on a 10-point scale, and decided that one of the myriad contestants rose above all others!

The ol' No BS Podcast mailbox was overflowing with questions this week. We discuss the possibility of using an Nividia and ATI card in one rig, how to take care of your customer-service woes, and whether you should switch to 64-bit Vista. Gordon Mah Ung also takes the floor for a few minutes to supply us with another Rant of the Week!

How-To: Create Your Own Internet Video Show

David Murphy — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:02:16 -0500

Setting up a streaming TV show on the Internet is a pretty easy task. You grab a webcam, plug it into a PC, and use an Internet streaming site to host your amateur show. We’re stressing the amateur part because let’s face it, we’ve all seen enough YouTube stars to know the score.

But since this is Maximum PC, we’re kicking it up a notch and showing you how to become an online video producer. First off, we’re upping the number of cameras to two. Second, we’re going to show you how to stream your video live. By using Ustream’s (www.ustream.tv) online interface, you’ll be able to switch back and forth between your two cameras. Give your audience two different views of your head! Or more likely, use the second camera to feature a special guest or sidekick.

Find out how to be your own internet celebrity after the jump.
