Clint joins Tom and Dina this week. What’s up with the speaker shootout? Tom gives you the skinny. Tom tells a sad, sad story. A love story gone wrong. Lots of discussion of the facts and not a whole lot of sympathy. Tom learns something new about the Internet. Dating via email. What is the deal with the 6500k setting for displays? What does it mean? Is it important? Ports in bookshelf speakers? What’s the deal with that? Elemental Designs, Rocket, and Emotiva are discussed. New Xbox Experience and mini Netflix streaming discussion. Dina’s version of Xbox Live. What versions of 5th Element do you own? Tom’s got Superbit and letterboxed VHS.
