Insider Secrets

Anonymous wrote us on the CNET forums asking how you can get OS X to run on a PC. That discussion isn's allowed in the forums because of the fact that running OS X on a non-Apple computer breaks the EULA. Don't worry anonymous, I went there for you. Here's how I got OS X to run on my ThinkPad and why it's a legal mess to do so, on today's Insider Secret.

I had the "pleasure" of being joined by Mr. iPhone today. We definitely ruined one man's career on this show and maybe two. But while dealing with the seriously delusional co-host, we also got some questions answered and gained a little mor einsight into the search for the iPhone.

Live Wires custom earphones

Spencer wrote "Hey I love your show, I'm from Nanaimo, BC, in Canada. Can i stream music from my laptop through ethernet to my xbox 360 or do I have to do it wirelessly." The short answer is you can do it either by Ethernet or Wirelessly. You just need your Xbox and your laptop hooked up to the same network. The rest of the details are covered in today's Insider Secret."

CNET Live: Put another shrimp on the barbie

Most weeks, callers get to grill Tom and Brian on their most difficult tech quandaries. This week, the tables get turned!

Tom's box of Star Wars goodies

Okay, so the boys won't be barbequing or grilling loyal callers with their issues (the legal department was not too happy with that pitch). However--they will be taking a look at the latest and greatest in outdoor-entertaining gadgetry. What's the difference between infrared cooking and traditional flame cooking? Cooley is determined to find out.

Also this week, Tom gets out his box of Star Wars toys to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars films. Tom's Crave of the week will be something that any Wookie, Ewok, or citizen of Naboo would desire.

In addition, CNET's own tech-Jedis will be fielding phone calls at 888-900-CNET. Make sure to call 20 minutes ahead--you could be the first caller in the seventh installment of CNET Live!

Tune in to CNET TV at 1 p.m. PT/ 4 p.m. ET today to get your fix. May the force be with you!

Here are the links to go along with the crazy episode five of CNET Live. Right before today's episode started the following things broke:

  • All the graphics
  • The screen capture machine (no shots of Brian or my laptop)
  • The audio
  • My brain (see call about graphics cards)

We got everything back together in time to do the show. Except my brain. In any case, here are the show notes for Ep. 5.

Things we Crave

Cooling glove

$150,000 turntable

First call - How do I take calls on a podcast?

Talkshow

-And what microphone should I use for a podcast?

Nice Heil microphones

Shure SM58

Hosts Tom Merritt and Brian Cooley have struck gold with their new Live streaming program on CNET TV. With a hot live guest every week and an opportunity for viewers to call in to get their personal tech queries answered, it's the best thing to do on a Thursday afternoon...since afternoon cartoons!

Past guests include Justin Kan of JustinTV and James Kao at Green Citizen, who shed some wisdom on earth-friendly tech. Last week, Biz Stone from Twitter.com joined CNET Live to talk about the future of mini-blogging. Tom and Brian also took a number of calls, many having to do with iTunes, Apple, and the best new version of Linux. Tom craved a mini-lightsaber, a perfect addition to his newly acquired box of Star Wars toys.

This week's show features CEO and President of Kyte TV, Daniel Graf (read CNET's Webware review). Not only is Brian going to chat with him about the burgeoning new instant video blog, but he's also going to get a live demo. Later in the show, Brian will reveal his pick for this week's Best of the Web, while Tom is going to talk to Zach Wilson, the winner of the Cellflix Festival Video Contest. And as always, Tom and Brian will be putting on their thinking caps to answer questions from CNET Live viewers. Want to talk to the Cooley-Merritt super duo directly? Call 1-888-900-CNET today during the show!

If that's not enough, there will also be a First Look at the new Xbox 360 Elite. Is it back in black and worth the cash or totally overrated? Find out on this week's edition of CNET Live today, at 1 p.m. Pacific/ 4 p.m. Eastern on CNET TV.
