everyone I'm Molly would welcome to the cnet mailbag the show where we let you in on the wacky wild and wonderful email that we get from viewers like you Vinny had a question about Brian tongues recent video on how to stop iTunes from backing up your iphone and ipod touch every time you sync he said I was just wondering if you could explain what the iTunes backup is actually backing up I was wondering the same thing brian Tong tells me it's backing up any changes you've made so if you have to restore your iphone in the future you'll be able to get them from last time you synced unfortunately that backup can apparently take as little as five minutes and as long as 30 30 thus our video hope it helps Claudio from New Jersey roading to say from time to time the cnet TV home page along with other seen at home pages such as cnet news change their looks to a black background with the cnet logo modified but then either a few minutes or hours later it changes back to the regular design see not having problems with the new look or is it just a test Claudio our redesign is still in the rollout stage we're testing it right now so that only a few users get it at a time so sometimes you see it sometimes you don't it's because we're trying to get feedback and let people see the design without serving the whole thing up at once but soon we will be all black background a new logo all the time I hope you like it now a few comments on the terrible job that we're apparently doing here at seen it Fred wrote like I'm watching the 2008 audi a8 l w12 video and at 340 that video skips like who edited that vid and did they bother to watch it when they were done like seen it wake up I say wake up flop I like cookies i also like cookies fred and even though we barely noticed the tiny audio hiccup which editor Mitch Chang swears was an actual paz by Brian Cooley we still fix the video and reuploaded it Sean wrote all this week I've been seeing a couple of odd spelling mistakes Tom Merritt misspelled storage as story edge and on cnet live you guys spelled problem as problem I thought you guys were expert journalists these are silly unnecessary mistakes that should never have been made love the show smiley merit journalist and on the ceri are you just joking Sean you're just joking right okay but either way we fix those videos and we re uploaded those too on a related note Erin asks I know cnet is currently owned by CBS one of the biggest broadcasting networks in America so is there any chance that one day we could see seen at TV actually on TV I for one would love to see this yeah Erin we're probably not going to be on the big screen because I don't think real TV lets you fix your videos and re-upload them no I'm totally kidding I don't know for sure but honestly the way we've been integrating with CBS I wouldn't be surprised watch for natali del conte on the CBS early show actually she's on there all the time me I'm just hoping to be the next host of The Amazing Race all right Michael had a Content request for us hey Molly can you get somebody to do an insider secret on using tomato or dd-wrt to make a super router Michael I have no idea what you just said to me so I'm guessing it's right up Tom Merritt Sally I'll talk to him about it and finally let's end this week's episode with some lover male nick says has natali del conte ever repeated the same dress unloaded or does she have some sort of mystical closet with an endless supply of outfits and by the way she's uber pretty yeah that's right I said it that's nice Nick and yeah Natalie if you could email me the password to the mystical and the supply closet that would be great actually I think it's called New York and that's it for this week everyone keep that feedback coming tell your friends to watch mailbag at cnet com or send me a postcard to 35 second street san francisco california 94 105 see you next week
