Computer Ed Radio Show (Broadcast July 25, 2010)
Computer Ed this week begins the show hoping that Apple would let the iPhone mess die but forced to go back to it again as Apple goes on the offensive trying to shift the issue to other phones. Once we get past Apples latest PR mess, Computer Ed takes a look at the ATI 5500 series refresh and specifically the 5550 with GDDR5. Taking this card in the context it was marketed, Computer Ed shows that this was a lot more than a refresh and the 5550 is now a solid choice for an entry level gaming card.

Introduction
The 1950s and 1960s were a much different time in the United States. Obviously, it was a simpler era without computers or cell phones, and even television was still a pretty novel idea. A tremendous icon of the era was it's automobiles. America was car crazy, and there were no conservation thoughts when the"Big Three" (GM, Ford and Chrysler) pumped out larger and larger engines designed to get you from point A to point B quicker than you had ever gotten there before. Even today many of the production vehicles of the 1950s and 1960s remain the most desired in the world.

" ASUS is usually known for its motherboards and GPUs. However, they are becoming more and more known for the peripherals they are making, too. Their monitors are growing in popularity and in performance, as are their wireless routers and access points. Today we are taking a look at a brand new one coming off the shelf. This is the ASUS RT-N16 multi-function wireless router. It is multi-function because you can choose the mode you want it to operate and because it has the ability to wirelessly share printers and USB HDDs as well. With a price tag of $92.00 from NewEgg.com (with an $18 price cut), the RT-N16 could be a steal if it can produce what it promises. "

" Even with the price of SSD’s still out of range of some users we see an amazing variety of models giving the most hardcore and wealthy enthusiasts a great selection to pick from.

" Why is USB 3.0 a big deal? Well to some it might not be... yet. It is rather new, so not many machines out there have it. If your machine doesn't have it, providing you have the room in your case, you can get an adapter card. USB 2.0 has a peak speed of 480MB/sec while USB 3.0 has a peak speed of 5Gb/sec. Those numbers speak for themselves. In this case Vantec revised their SATA to USB 2.0 adapter that connects to the back of a drive. "

Introduction
As a society, we are constantly on the go. In constant motion, we require a multitude of devices from phones and media devices to portable game consoles. We've come to rely on these devices to keep us up to date on what our friends are up to and what is going on in the world. Over the years our cellphones have become more and more of a necessity in our lives over the other devices. Ten years ago if I had left the house without my cellphone, I'd have to be pretty close to turn back for it. Now, it almost comes down to a panic attack of what to do when it is not near me. When it works, I barely keep in mind how often I'm checking RSS, email, headlines or any other feed I am instantly connected to at the tap of my finger.

Introduction
The mythical fire breathing dragon is a force of overwhelming terror and destruction. It is an avatar of fear and despair; a symbolic flame that tempers those who are brave enough to face it and obliterates those that do not measure up. Time has made immortal, the legend of those who have stood triumphant on the carcass of this beast. Storied tales of dragon slayers recounted through the ages in literature and the arts; their act of victory inspiring paintings, sculptures, books, films and now a computer chassis!
