PUT DOWN YOUR BLACKBERRY BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE QUEUE...
I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV IN NEW YORK CITY HERE TO TALK THE TOP TECH STORIES FOR THE SECOND WEEK OF MAY, 2007.
LET'S GET YOU STARTED WITH YOUR MUST SEE MOMENT!


THE KENTUCKY DERBY WAS SO LAST WEEKEND -
HERE'S A HIGH TECH RACE WHERE THE GREEN REFERS TO THE TECHNOLOGY...
THE SHELL ECO-MARATHON CHALLENGES ENGINEERING STUDENTS TO DRIVE THE FARTHEST USING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF FUEL.
CAL POLY WON THE AMERICAS AT 1902 MILES PER GALLON...
THE EUROPEAN CHALLENGE TAKING PLACE THIS WEEKEND IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.


IF YOU WANTED AN EXCUSE TO BUY A NEW LAPTOP...INTEL GAVE YOU ONE THIS WEEK - LAUNCHING NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THEIR POPULAR PROCESSORS.
THE COMPANY'S LATEST CENTRINO NOTEBOOK CHIPS ARE NOW FASTER - THAT MEANS BETTER PERFORMANCE WHEN RUNNING VARIOUS APPS AT THE SAME TIME...
NEW POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURES LET YOU GET BETTER BATTERY LIFE...
AND WIRELESS N TECHNOLOGY GETS YOU UP TO FIVE TIMES FASTER DOWNLOADS AND TWICE THE WI-FI RANGE.

THINK FAST - WHAT'S A GOOD ONLINE AUCTION SITE...
IF YOU SAID EBAY...THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHY YAHOO MADE THE DECISION THIS WEEK TO RETIRE IT'S AUCTION SITE.
THE SHUTDOWN ANNOUNCEMENT QUIETLY POSTED...INFORMING USERS IT'S LIGHTS OUT FOR THE U-S AND CANADA AUCTION SITES ON JUNE 16TH.
IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO SAVE SOME FACE ...YAHOO RE-ITERATED IT WOULD BE KEEPING IT'S **LEADING** AUCTION SITES IN HONG KONG, SINGAPORE AND TAIWAN OPEN FOR BUSINESS.


I'LL DO ANYTHING TO AVOID HAVING TO ACTUALLY GO INTO A WIRELESS STORE TO GET HELP WITH MY CELL PHONE...SOME SALES PEOPLE ARE PUSHY...OTHERS TREAT YOU LIKE YOU'RE TRANSPARENT...
WHICH BRINGS US TO YOUR QUICK QUIZ...
WHICH WIRELESS CARRIER RANKED NUMBER ONE FOR RETAIL SALES SATISFACTION...ACCORDING TO J-D POWER AND ASSOCIATES?
IS IT
T-MOBILE
VERIZON WIRELESS
AT&T
ALLTEL
OR SPRINT NEXTEL...
SURVEY SAYS...T-MOBILE..
THE CARRIER GOT GOOD MARKS FOR SALES STAFF, STORE DISPLAYS AND PRICING.
CUSTOMERS SURVEYED SAID THEY LIKE TO BE GREETED WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF ENTERING A STORE.


FINALLY - THE SITE - AND THIS WEEK - IT'S A SITE THAT HELPS YOU MAKE A SITE...
DOES THAT SOUND CONFUSING?
IT SHOULDN'T - BECAUSE WEEBLY WANTS TO MAKE THINGS SIMPLE.VOWEEBLY SAYS IT'S THE EASIEST WAY TO CREATE AND PUBLISH A WEBSITE - BESIDES HIRING SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE WORK...
ADDING CONTENT LIKE VIDEOS, PICTURES, MAPS AND TEXT IS AS SIMPLE AS DRAGGING AND DROPPING...
ONE OF THE COOLEST FEATURES - JUST HOVER OVER A SITE TEMPLATE AND YOU GET AN INSTANT PREVIEW OF WHAT YOUR SITE WOULD LOOK LIKE... CUSTOMIZATION IS A BREEZE - JUST MOVE THINGS AROUND WITH YOUR MOUSE.


DID I MENTION IT'S ALL FREE?
YOU CAN EVEN TRY BUILDING A SITE WITHOUT SIGNING UP.
THAT'S ALL FOR THIS EDITION OF THE QUEUE...REMEMBER CNET TV IS YOUR SOURCE FOR TONS OF TECH VIDEO ALL WEEK LONG.
