Show notes
We kick off this episode with news of the upcoming TR BBQ and a movie recommendation from Jordan (who really, really liked Toy Story 3). Our panel quickly moves on to the iPhone 4; not even a week after launch, a particularly annoying signal retention issue has come to light. Gaming is next on the agenda as we discuss Cyril’s latest blog post, in which he expressed dissatisfaction with the evolution of first-person shooters. Also on the gaming docket, we discuss the prospect of motion-controlled gaming on the PC via Microsoft’s Kinect technology.

The second half of the episode is all about PC hardware. Scott has done the writeup on AMD’s latest server-class processors and graphics cards, while Geoff has tested two new solid-state drives, one of which turns out to be his current Editor’s Choice.
