There is no better way to say goodbye to another year than with another piping hot bowl of pho. Happy new year from the Dot Com Pho family (phamily?) and friends (phreinds?) to all of you out there on the Interweb!

UPDATE: Michael’s review of the CyberPower TRVL918 surge protector is now live on Beyond the Rhetoric.

In the Vancouver side of Dot Com Pho, we get a demonstration from the world’s smartest baby, talk about the fastest camels in Australia, and how to get the best deal on a GoPro HD Hero camera for the holidays… plus a special performance by Yellow Snow?

UPDATE: The full review of the AVerMedia Game Capture HD is now posted on MEGATechNews.com.

And in the Orange County of California, several new members of the DCP movement introduce themselves, the Game of Life is played, and the Rode shotgun mic is showcased as the gadget of the week.
