Dick at the TWiT Cottage
After the Wine Train on Monday and a drive in a Tesla Roadster on Tuesday, Dick settled down with Leo in the TWiT studio to record this week's Giz Wizzes. Here are the highlights of today's show. Video from odtv.me. Sitting in the background is FunCrunch Julie Bernstein.
Wine Train
Dick, being a train enthusiast, thoroughly enjoyed the Napa Wine Train. Dick and Leo's party were given a private railroad car. Dick finally met Jennifer, and they got on like a train on fire.
WebLoyalty
Dick bought his new flashlight from Buy.com, and Leo warns him and listeners about the danger of inadvertently joining the "webloyalty" programme and getting charged on your credit card. Other websites including Fandango and Orbitz also take part in this webloyalty. For more details, listen to Security Now! Episode 207.
Shoot-It
Listener Seth Combs finally gets his first iPhone app on to the App Store. It's called Shoot-It. You take your photo on the iPhone, send it to Shoot-It together with your message and addressee (for the US, the UK and Western Europe), and a proper postcard with your pic and message will be posted for you in the good old fashioned way. It so happens that Leo has just bought the app, and Leo wonders if Seth is related to Sean Puffy Combs, aka P. Diddy.
