Yeah seems like others are better but I didn't have one before so I should get some use from it. Wife and I both have iPhones though. May get some use out of it..hopefully.

Since you guys have the expertise, could recommend a video/audio capture device to be able to either create video or take screen shots from my 360 to my computer for posting afterwards?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hauppauge HD-PVR, end of story. That plus Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 (or 11) to edit the video/audio and it's a really easy proposition. The price might be on the high side for some people but it really is the easiest way to go about doing what you're asking for.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have as I've had one for nearly four years.

Agree with G on the Hauppauge. However if you don't want to pay the price for it, this one isn't bad http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/ga...k=m_pro_gaming. It's $99.99 now but they often run specials and it comes with editing software, I got mine for $30 last year. It does the job. Unfortunately I can't comment on the editing software that comes with it as my Netbook doesn't have the requirements to run it so I have to use Windows Movie Maker(which sucks)

Like G said the Hauppauge unit is nice.

I went with this one though because I got a pretty good deal on it and it does the same thing http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815100052

Shame it is getting bad reviews due to people being complete numbskulls like "it doesn't record HDMI".

Check my YouTube channel as I've uploaded a few videos using it, haven't done much though as I just haven't had the time really. I'm using the software that came with it, still need to get the Sony Vegas software G mentioned.

Thanks guys for the recommendations.

Definitely interesting. Not sure I'd want something so obtrusive in my view all the time, but it's definitely an interesting idea.

I want the google car though. Being able to not have to worry about driving the car myself would give me a bunch of time, while commuting to do other shit.

Yeah the car is bad ass.

**morsdraconis** · 04-05-2012, 03:51 PM

Yeah man. It's driven like 600,000 miles or something without one incident. I can't fuckin' wait.

**baseballplyrmvp** · 04-05-2012, 05:40 PM

Looks like Google Glasses are actually going to be on the market soon.

One more thing you can do with Google Glasses. Give them to a bunch of skydivers and have a Google + hangout for those afraid to go

**JBHuskers** · 07-24-2012, 11:42 AM

I'm looking to get caught on To Catch A Predator. Which of these do you suggest?

I was leaning towards this one.

Speaking of technology, I always think of this video from the Onion. It's a pretty accurate description of kids and their brain dead devotion towards cell phones.
