hey everyone I'm Molly would welcome to the cnet mailbag this is the show where we take your feedback and answer your questions about all the stuff we're doing here at seen it now in the mailbag spotlight today I want to show off some of the brand new features we just launched at seen at tv.com if you have sharp eyes you may have noticed that the video player is actually larger because we're all about video also there are a few design changes but the big deal is this new subscribe button here which makes it way easier for you to subscribe to our shows as podcasts if you're watching a show

download the latest episode plus there's this little drop-down menu so you can actually choose any show or any category that you want to subscribe to right here boom super easy nice right let me know what you think all right onto the mail many of you wondered what happened to mailbag last week matt said just wondering why mailbag wasn't on this week has it been canceled or are you just taking a break hope to see it soon smiley it was not cancelled don't panic we just took a week off because Sarah who produces and edits the show was on vacation judging from the total panic in your emails I probably should have warned you sorry about that another mail this week Brian tongs prize fight between the iphone and the t-mobile g1 android phone cause some heated emotions this guy wrote in to say the t-mobile g1 totally beats the overrated over publicized iPhone haven't we had enough already the stupid apple lovers and the iphone lovers now I like Apple do I have a macbook running a boot to ubuntu is better than mac anyway sure Apple is cool but totally overrated point but I love cnet but Brian tongue is an apple fanboy most royally annoyed cnet fan someone who does not to have his name featured on mailbag although he wants this message on mailbag and Robert the Soviet said now that brian Tong has his own show the apple byte he inevitably has a mental association with apple with this said why does he still host prize fight with the last show being about the g one vs iphone i felt as if he didn't look to the iphones falsin nearly as much as he did with the g1 and he even admitted it himself in the video he wasn't trying to bash the device but he was and then when he goes to the flip side and talks about the iphone I hear nothing negative is the tongue stir still a viable judge for prizefight it just bothers me I guess and that's a valid point folks so I thought this would be a good time to let you guys know that the prize fight matches are written in conjunction with our review editors in fact most of them show up as text and not just video in this case the iphone vs g one prize fight was judged by bonnie cha not an apple fan girl nicole lee not an apple fan girl and brian Tong who is a mild apple fanboy but Brian's not the only judge for prize fight so even if he is biased and I still think he's more professional than that he's bound to get overruled by his fellow judges happy ok cool now let's counterpoint with a little lover mail for prize fight I just wanted to let you know that the cnet prize fight over the browsers was amazing great work someone deserves a raise nerd 97 someone always deserves a raise around here nerd 97 but yes that was some nice work next some concern from Emily who writes I come to you with a serious question our females being discriminated against on cnet evidence shows that in many of Dan Ackerman's video laptop reviews he refers to the laptop as this guy which is of course now a part of Dell now don't confuse this guy with the recent n 17 X now as a fun casual little gesture could you please ask Dan to call one of the laptops that he's reviewing this girl or at least please tell him to stop implying that the laptops are male this favor is not asked for me but for females everywhere because every laptop shouldn't be a male what if every human were male oh Emily stop being so sensitive everyone knows that cars and boats are girls and laptops are dudes it's just a thing and finally Alan from Taiwan rides in with a mystery I saw something weird in the background when I was watching 2008 november 11 loaded when Natalie said when the ticket as supposed to free and about 335 minute into show I think I saw something flew across the window it's dark and blurry what is it Alan PS i hope no one go thrown off the scene building that would be horrible the tickets are supposed to be free and just Alan do you really think we wouldn't stop down if a person got thrown off the building but yes I saw that too it was totally weird I think it was a bird pigeons creepy all right that'll do it for this week everyone keep that feedback coming mailbag at cnet com or send me a postcard to 35 second street san francisco california 94 105 see you next time
