Episode 1141

A new technology from Zyxio allows you to control your PC by breathing. Obviously this is good for accessibility, but it could also mean good and bad news for gamers. We'll discuss. We also rundown the latest news from CES, including the Intel keynote. And we talk with the winner of the Apps for Innovation contest about his Web site that makes it easy for you to find out what the government is about to do to you and gives you a chance to make a comment.

Hey Buzz Crew,
I was listening to Yesterday’s podcast (Thursday at CES) and Leo was
talking about how MS is a “Me Too” company. Then you all went on to
talk about Ford Sync and how awesome it was. None of you pointed out
who Ford Sync was by… It’s by the “Me Too” company Microsoft. Just
thought I’d point that out.
Rock on,
Josh from Indiana

Hey Buzzos
Is it just me or was Tom Merrit flipping me off at 0:08 in his First Look video at the Samsung E-Reader from CES? Is he sending us some sort of subliminal message about Samsung or E-Readers? Why can’t he just use his pointer finger to point at it? I mean, it is called a POINTER finger.

Hey gang,
There's a hidden message behind ESPN 3D that many people aren't getting when the channel was announced.
1 - ESPN
2 - ESPN 2
3 - ESPN U
4 - ESPNews
5 - ESPN Classic
6 - ESPN Deportes
7 - ESPN Plus
8 - ESPN 3D
ESPN 3D is the eighth channel, making ESPN 3D the unofficial ESPN the ocho.
