    Thanks for much for putting up the the hectic schedules to cover all these announcements. #9 is long overdue but I'm sure it will be great!

    Anyone know how I can download this straight to my Android phone? It always wants to open it and not download it. Want to listen to it when I don't have a connection.

    I haven't had any issue downloading it directly from the Direct Links - mp3 above... In fact I have like 3 notifications for previously downloaded podcasts on my EVO 4G LTE that I haven't gotten around to listening/clearing. What's the app that's attempting to open it every time instead of letting you download it? You can try clearing the defaults for that app, it's sorta like Windows' file associations except nowhere near as easy to manage.

    Done it, thanks. It was BS Player associated.

    You should link to the previous Podcast on every one of these so people don't have to hunt around for the prior episodes.

    Request - Would love to hear more about very high resolution desktop monitors, a discussion of 120 hz (not for 3D), how a RAMDISK would score on Anand's SSD benchmarks, HSA, PS4 AMD A10 rumors, Valve's Linux Steam port, how we might use 16+GB of RAM, and I also want someone to buy me a pony.

    You should put your podcasts on YouTube and link to the relevant times in your "related articles" section. I hope you guys don't just give up on this because of the time required, these make my commute 42% more tolerable.
