In this episode, Ryan Yee of NerdBoyTV introduces Guy Kawasaki's new Alltop news site, a comparison of AppleTV to Vudu, spring cleaning your laptops and computers, Microsoft's waiting game with Yahoo!, Peer-To-Peer going legit, and eight great gadget deals at a budget-minded price.
How to Change the World: "Today we are opening Alltop, a news aggregation site that provides “all the top” stories for forty of the most popular topics on the Web. The headlines and first paragraph of the five most recent stories from forty to eighty sources for each topic are displayed. Alltop stories are refreshed approximately every ten minutes."
TV set-top battle: Apple TV vs. Vudu : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech: "Apple breathed new life into its once-floundering Apple TV thanks to a recent software update, but it's got a major competitor to deal with: Vudu, a set-top device with more than eight times as many movies to rent. Which box deserves a place next to your TV?"
Spring cleaning for gadgets : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech: "In addition to doing those other things you ought to take care of twice a year (like changing your toothbrush and replacing your furnace air filter), spring is a good time to clean your gadgets and computers to ensure they keep running well and looking good. It doesn't have to take hours and hours. Here are some tips for cleaning your gear efficiently."
Microsoft’s waiting game may get it Yahoo - U.S. business- msnbc.com: "Microsoft’s unfriendly, slow-motion effort to take over Yahoo may ironically be riskiest for the pioneering Internet company."
Peer-to-peer networks go legit - Yahoo! News: "The technology best known for pirating movies, music and software online is increasingly being adopted by businesses as a cheap way to get video content to customers. A number of startups are embracing so-called peer-to-peer technology and have convinced some big-name media companies to use them to deliver legal content."
Eight Great Gadget Deals - Reviews by PC Magazine: "Seems like two hundred bucks doesn't get you much these days: Dinner for two in a swanky restaurant, a tank or two of gas for your Range Rover, a Hannah Montana concert ticket (maybe not, actually). There are better ways to spend your hard-earned cash. Why not pick up a fun new tech toy? We've reviewed some pretty impressive, budget-friendly gadgets lately--everything you see here has earned a rating of at least 3 stars (out of 5). So check out our favorite cheapskate gadgets of late."

SHOW #023 - NerdBoyTV Broadcast: March 8, 2008
In this episode of NerdBoyTV, Ryan Yee shares articles on user-generated content on the outs, MySpace's foray into iTune's turf, tech-wearing gear you can buy, tech products we couldn't live without, and what to do if you find your computer is starting to slow down.
Is User-Generated Content Out? Newsweek Technology Newsweek.com: "The individual user has been king on the Internet, but the pendulum seems to be swinging back toward edited information vetted by professionals."
Expected MySpace service to compete with iTunes - Yahoo! News: "Amid ongoing competitive pressure from Facebook, MySpace is taking its latest shot at entering the music business as other social networking peers, such as Last.fm and imeem, are making big audience gains with ad-supported music offerings."
Wear your tech gear, don't schelp it - DigiGirl- msnbc.com: "One of the first companies to design apparel to accommodate tech gadgets was the SCOTTeVEST/SeV gear management clothing company (http://www.scottevest.com). Scott Jordan, a former attorney who used to commute weekly to and from Chicago and New Jersey, came up with the idea to create clothing to hold all the different devices needed by travelers, commuters and active people who want their technology close by all the time."
Tech Products We'd Be Lost Without - Reviews by PC Magazine: "A survey of PC Magazine editors to determine the products they'd least like to be parted from revealed some obvious—and several unusual—choices."
Computer Slowing Down What to Do About It: "Is your computer getting bogged down? Does it often hang on the hour glass for several minutes at a time? If so, your computer is likely experiencing problems with its registry database, the operating system component that stores information about the system, application settings and hardware."
