CNet Hacks
[20:50:53] matt [wronka.org]/navic I've been browsing through the video streams (podcasts) available by default in the netvision plug-in for MythTV. CNet's news has been hit-or-miss, with some very interesting and in-depth articles once in a while, but mostly fluffy or breezy-main-stream articles.

The CNet feeds seem to be similar (I can't suggest anyone waste their time with The Linux Action Show! for instance), although Tom Merritt's CNet Hacks videos are exceptionally lucid and good for non-technical viewers in a technical world. Other videos even include SQL injections and by other presenters, although the first few I watched were all from Mr. Merritt.

These videos, unfortunately, date back to 2009 and Mr. Merritt is no longer with CNet, which explains why they're more readily found via search engines than CNet's own site.
