At first this looked like another IPTV box. But as Todd Cochrane started talking to Chris Zagg, we found out the ZAGGbox was a lot more than that. It is a media box with a 1TB hard drive. However, it’s also a component controller. If you have a satellite, you connect it through the box and let the ZAGGbox control your DirectTV or Dish signal. If you want to record a show, you use the ZAGGbox to take care of that.

The remote control pretty much replaces all your other controls. The on-screen controls help you with what you want to watch.

It is also a streaming device, so you can watch media on your internet devices including iPhone. You can also connect more hard drives for more storage.

When we got to CES, Todd handed us some USB sticks. They were small and we thought they were going to be lost by the end of the day. Little did we know that these small drives from Verbatim actually made a big difference in our transfer and storage of files.

Todd Cochrane talks with Becky about these new devices, and other new items such as the wireless USB mouse and the Insight portable hard drive.

Andy McCaskey from Slashdot Review talks with Geoff Barrall about the Drobo Storage Robot. The best part of this system is it’s hot swappable capability. When you store everything on 4 disks, if one of those disks fail, then the other 3 can rebuild the fourth.

This is a great item for those that need protected storage. Plus, Geoff makes a special announcement about the device.

Pitfalls of Social Web
 ComputerWorld put out an interesting article marked “The Pitfalls of Social Networking”. In the article it lists a lot of downfalls of the Web 2.0. In this new version of the web, we are able to voice our opinions and share information in many ways. Vocalo.org and Geekazine.com are both part of this – otherwise, this show would not be possible. Is Social Networking causing problems?
