CNet TV

I don't know if you've seen this, but CNet TV is pretty cool. A lot of news, reviews, and video clips showcasing new hardware and software can be found there. It is of course ad-supported (by Geek Squad), but makes catching up on the new stuff quick, painless, and actually fun. If only Engadget could do something like this, it would be off the hook. CNet TV is still in beta, but hey it isn't cool NOT to be in beta these days. I like the format and the coverage which I use to catch up on current news quickly (almost daily). It is a refreshing change from reading text-based news all the live long day.

I don't understand why this video is so popular... Software isn't that branch where video is popular

They do seem to be ahead of the game as I can remeber when I used to listen to the old Cnet radio ( streamed broadcast), which was superb and I used to listen to it everyday, despite being based in the UK and the Bay area traffic reports were a real hoot to listen to. Good to see that they have come back with something thats quite good.

Totally agree. I love the format and speed catch-up on gadgets, etc. One thing I would like to see would be a mini version so I could have it playing in the corner of my screen whilst getting on with other things.

There is a mini version were it could be playing in the corner of your screen and you could go on with other work just use LePlayer. It's a program were im pretty sure it has CNET video.

I like the format very cool, would like to see an additional feature "Embed this video into your blog or web page" like they have on www.ifilm.com

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
