hi I'm Brian Cooley in for the new mom Mollywood and welcome to the buzz reports first our gadget of the week it's Apple TV the new box that plays stuff from itunes on your television maybe you see first there's not much to watch maybe 300 titles on the iTunes Store secondly it doesn't work with the majority of TVs in the world your television has to be at least 480p resolution widescreen and have component or hdmi input that rules out two of the three TVs in my house finally what you watch might look pretty bad you see the current iTunes video selections were customized for the video iPod now how's that going to look on a 52 incher but apple TV is unfairly being judged as a device that needs to be born fully developed like an infant with a master's degree in a full head of hair hell Steve Jobs doesn't even have either of those now the news youtube announced its first ever video awards as voted on by users there were seven categories and the winners were all great I mean check out the brilliance of the most creative award winner Chicago band okay go for the really touching animation winner kiwi and after a few minutes you'll be saying to yourself what does this have to do with you two I don't know where they dug up these gems but 99% of youtube's content isn't like this and never had a chance for an award because there'd be no category for it for example where was the category best transcoding of ripped off Viacom content or stupidest ass ruining his car while ghost riding it yeah we wish YouTube stuff was like what 11 serious piece of car tech got smashed up online this week actor eddie griffin was practicing for a charity car race in his movie producers ferrari enzo all one and a quarter million dollars of it when he locked it up and plowed the front end into a concrete k rail ouch now those nutty conspiracy theorists got going almost immediately first they say notice the car wasn't going all that fast and has arguably the best brakes of any car in the world even touching the brake pedal 10 feet from that barrier and that Enzo would have stopped like someone drove a nail through it also check out the guy videotaping behind the barrier he doesn't flinch jump or even make water as far as we can tell almost like he was ready for it so let's do the math at last count around 400 news outlets are reporting this story and the fact that it was related to a new movie called redline starring eddie griffin and that the Enzo's owner is his producer advertising value of all this buzz including us at least 10 million dollars cost to fix the Enzo let's be generous and say 250,000 those numbers work and finally we leave you with this bizarre story from ctia the big cell phone show that just wrapped up in orlando florida where we saw shoes with lights that's right I said it's a cell phone show and no I have no idea why shoes were being featured but with these kinds of attributes who could say no the ball of the foot touches on the solar plexus point center of emotional energy the shoes offer an emotional bath of light experience so the act of walking it's healing look I laugh the idea of selling ringtones a few years ago so I'm just gonna shut up but healing I'm Brian Cooley this has been the buzz report thanks for watching
