Well we just finished up this week’s episode of Elite Tech News and it is in the hands of our producer Art so he can do his best to make us all sound good (not an easy job to say the least) and I’ll post as soon has he gives it his stamp of approval. In the meantime to keep you busy here’s a few things that caught my eye in today’s FriendFeed pipeline.

RSS Bandit (Phoenix) alpha release: A desktop client for Google Reader, a podcatcher, and much more :: Dare Obasanjo – I might be a big FeedDemon fan but if you are looking for another really good desktop RSS client for Windows you can’t go wrong with RSS Bandit.

How To Play Xvid And Avi Files With Vista Media Center :: One Tip a Day – for those of you using the Vista version of Media Center this is a must have tip and one that I have socked away.

Am I Bored With “Web 2.0”? :: A VC – if someone involved with Web 2.0 could be going through a mid-life (or would that be mid-internet?) crisis this could be a good example of how it would read.

What I Believe: My 10 Web and Blogging Expectations :: Louis Gray – having strong ethics and beliefs are important to everyone but Louis’ list is a good one for bloggers to take to heart.

Too Many Windows Live Services are Dead :: ReadWriteWeb – not sure what is happening with all the Live.com services? Well Corvida has got the lowdown on the ones best marked R.I.P.
