Episode #115
I recently updated to 7.3.6.2 at first i got a window that said I had an old version of Quicktime and needed to update in order to run. I did/still did not work. I uninstalled/reinstalled, now I get the windows message: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. iTunes will not run at all.

iTunes has always been balky on Windows. My suggestion is to uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime. Then install the latest Quicktime by itself. Once you’ve got that working install iTunes.

- Casio Exilim EX-Z77
$199
With so many people shooting video simply for uploading to YouTube, it’s not a surprise that certain gadgets are making the process easier. The Exilim EX-Z77 is a full-functional 7.2 megapixel camera that can also shoot video…but the key difference is that it also has a YouTube-specific shooting mode. That means that it captures the video in a format that’s already Optimized for YouTube…no tweaking or resizing required. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn’t have a lot of onboard memory, so if you want to shoot more than 30 seconds of video at a time, you’ll really want to pick up a large SecureDigital card at the same time. It also has a proprietary USB connector—bucking the general industry trend to the more standardized mini connector—meaning if you lose the cable you’ll have to shell out for a special Casio cable rather than borrowing a standard cable from one of your other USB gadgets.Shiny

- Line Rider
Line Rider was originally created by Boštjan Cadež, a Slovenian university student, in September of 2006. It almost immediately gathered a cult following and became the seventh quickest gaining keyword in Google. Since that time, the ‘toy’ has generated over 16 million views. Fans quickly noticed that they could create tracks, set them to music, and share them over YouTube.com. Currently, there are over 11,000 shared videos with many more to come. inXile Entertainment is extremely excited to work with Boštjan in order to reach the full potential that we feel the Line Rider application can live up to. Keep an eye on this site for more information from Line Rider.
