Tom answers questions from Jason, Jonathan, and Andrew this week. Did you know AOL is still alive (though their site looks more like a blog) and, apparently, they are providing content to Sony? Who knew? We skipped the thing about batteries but here it is. Tom is getting a new phone and can’t wait to talk about it. SOPA is dead. You’re welcome. Tom wants a new printer, Liz will take one too (check out this Thingiverse for plans). They are split on this new ebook lighting solution from Flex.

Second podcast of 2012 and we’re already innuendo-ing. Is that a word? Anyway, in today’s podcast, Rob H. is back on the air and as prolific as ever with a soup-to-nuts on soundproofing your room so your neighbors still like you when you up the bass. Also on the topics list:
Holiday sales of Consumer Electronics devices fall, but that’s only if you don’t count all the consumer electronics most of us use on a daily basis. Plus some positive news if you are the maker of a very large TV. Speaking of TVs, it’s CES and everyone is showing us their new prototype. Check out
Today’s the first podcast of the new year, Tom is still on vacation and Rob is here filling in. We’re talking about some sad news to start off the new year. Kodak might be filing for bankruptcy, Berkline went out of business in May, and Gibson and Onkyo announced a new business deal. Rob’s soup to nuts this week is on Calibration, both for video and audio: see links below the cut. Liz found a USB adapter for vintage video games, Retrode, which you should all check out. (And send us your old game cartridges if you don’t want em!) Liz and Rob go way off topic about TV content via the internet and cable television providers.
