Geekanoids New Year Message 2009... I take a look at my year on YouTube during 2009 and the channels that caught my attention. Plus a big thank you to everyone and some exciting news that is likely to come from Apple early 2010.
Geekanoids - A Tech Christmas Message 2009... It is 3pm on Christmas Day and in the UK we all sit down to listen to the Queen's Speech. Well, I just wanted to give my viewers a tech alternative. It is also my chance to say thank you to everyone for their support and kind comments throughout 2009.
It has been a whole year since we started producing video reviews on a regular basis. Last June we managed to purchase a MacBook Pro which we had sponsored and laser etched with various company logos. This was a great success, not only did it get great exposure, but it also performed admirably with the video crunching we threw at it.
This year we needed some extra processing power, which came in the shape of a new 24-inch 3.06GHz iMac. This time around we had the sponsors logos thermally printed and applied to the back of the iMac. We also created a desktop wallpaper displaying the logos too. The new iMac is superb, really fast, quiet and stable. We have upgraded our software to Final Cut Express, so we can edit together some more attention grabbing video reviews for you this year. As well as the iMac, a new Audio Technica AT2020 mic, an Alesis Multimix 8 USB2 mixer, and some new studio lighting. I hope you start to see an improvement in quality and keep coming back to the Geekanoids website to check out our great reviews.
A big thank you goes out to the sponsors, who are listed below;

I wanted to give you the heads up on my new Mac & Gadget Show. For a long time now I have been wanting to do a show where I could bring fellow Mac users together. Nothing formal, just a chat about the computer platform that we all love. So, every Sunday at 5:00pm UK time (GMT) or 12:00pm (EDT) you can head on over to Talkshoe and catch the show. It is free to register and then you can either just listen, or join in the chat room, or even call in on a regular phone, Skype or Gizmo project and talk on the show. If you use Gizmo Project, you can even call in totally free via SIP.
How to join in the show
Go to the Talkshoe page for the show here.
Make sure you are logged into your Talkshoe account (it is free to register using the 'Sign-Up' button toward the top of the page).
Click the 'Join In' button.
You will then be in the chat room and be able to listen to the show and type messages.
Note: you can join in as a Guest, but why not register, it is totally free.
To be able to put your hand-up to talk, the easiest method is Gizmo.
Or you can call in on a regular phone or Skype on (724) 444-7444 - this is a USA number.
To use Gizmo, download it here, for Mac, PC, Linux, mobile phones & Nokia Internet Tablets.
Install and restart your computer.
Sign up for a free account.
Enter this 123@66.212.134.192 as the phone number.
You will then be prompted for the call ID (which is 20249 for the Geekanoids show), followed by the # key.
Then you will have to type in your PIN that you set-up when you registered on the Talkshoe website.
Once you have done that, you are in the voice chat. At first you will be muted, but put your hand up and you will join the queue to talk. If you also type into the chat where you are from and what you want to talk about, that helps me a lot.
So, I hope that you can join me. The next show is on Sunday, 8th June 2008 at 5:00pm UK (GMT). There might even be a special show on the Monday whilst Steve Jobs is delivering his keynote, to bring you the news as it happens.
It seemed appropriate to let you all know about our new acquisition. You may recall that last year some very supportive companies sponsored our laser etched MacBook Pro. Well, we have gained many many more readers and viewers since then, so most of the existing sponsors and some new, dug deep into their pockets again this year.
Not quite ready for public consumption yet, our investment went on a new 3.06GHz, 24-inch iMac. This beautiful machine landed at Geekanoids HQ late last week. The screen is gorgeous and gives a massive amount of creative workspace. The processor just eats its way through our video review processing, so will be a really productive addition for getting great content out there for you all. Of note, the iMac runs very quietly, has a massive 500GB hard drive, and 512MB of video memory. A really stunning machine. Expect to see it in it full glory, along with a list of sponsors toward the end of June.
We had a little funds left in the bank at the end of the day. This has been invested in new studio lighting, so much more accurately exposed videos for all. We also purchased an Audio Technica AT2020 microphone and an Alesis Multimix 8 USB2 mixing desk, so my dulcit tones will be more palatable.
