Fire Power

This episode is all about power – speed, security, and… suction?? First off, Steve introduces an alternative web browser for faster downloads: Firefox. This free download from Mozilla.com offers multiple tab browsing and search engine options, as well as greater security from those annoying pop-ups. But don’t forget about the importance of firewalls when you connect to the web, such as the personal firewall included in Norton Security.

Innovation

Experience the power of high definition television witha DVD player that upconverts movie resolution, such as Samsung’s HTQ40, which doubles as a surround sound stereo system. And Steve and Caroline battle for high tech supremacy in the world of vacuums, with iRobot’s self-propelled Roomba, and a super-sucker from Dyson.
