Mailbag gets a suspicious package Video Transcript

Hey, everyone, I'm Molly Wood, and welcome to the CNET Mailbag, the show where we take your feedback about the stuff we do here at CNET. Let's start with your letters. Lap, my number 3 fan from Houston (that's what he calls himself, I swear), noticed that I have been remiss in rewarding my producer Sarah and graphics god Shaun for their work on Mailbag. They were promised Nutella, and they never received it. So, Lap sent some. Thanks, Lap! I'll uh ... make sure they get this ... yeah ... Oh, and also? 6 feet. Well, five-foot-11 and three-quarters, if you really want to get specific. Thanks for all the love. Speaking of, uh, me, thanks to Michael for being, I swear, the only person to actually Photoshop the Hollywood sign into the Mollywood monument. Michael, many have made the joke, but YOU went the extra mile. Awesome work, man. Ok, one more about me. Allen said: This is Allen from Taiwan and I just want to say Love Mail Bag and Love You for being one of the greatest Internet personality on the web. :) Also, I was listening to the July 10 This week in Tech History today and when you ended the show with "more electrifying info tomorrow" the sky started flashing and crackling. Its shocking. Molly, you must have secret powers that your not revealing. Awesome!! Dane wrote in with a stumper. Why is it called Prizefight when the winner doesn't get a prize? Umm .... *cricket noise* I ... don't know. Maybe we ... should get one. Nutella? Rory wrote in with something we can answer. With: Oops. He said. You stated in a recent top 5 countdown you stated that the "roadrunner" supercomputer was in California but I check and found that it is at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Yes, Rory, we also checked, and you are right. Too bad we didn't check sooner. But we're fixing that now. Also, wow! No one else caught that! Nice work! Next up, Caleb said: Dear Molly and Co: Thank you all for the wonderful work you do at CNET. You guys strike a unique and respectable balance between serious business and product reporting and the more light- hearted "lifestyle" side of technology. Secondly, I especially want to commend Kara Tsuboi for her outstanding discipline in sticking to her story about the Wii's use in physical therapy rather than pointing out the impressive set of muttonchops on that nurse in the background, although if she had done that it would have been quite hilarious. Caleb, that's why we need viewers like you. You notice so that we don't have to. And finally, Nick wrote in to say: I am not a freaky fish man!! Me neither! Whaddya know! And that's it for this week, everyone. Keep that feedback coming, and tell your friends to watch! Mailbag@cnet.com, or send me a postcard. 235 2nd St., San Francisco, CA, 94105. See you next time.
