Find Whirlpool Deals at Lowe’sThe 404 341: Where we like Natali a-latte
Wilson Tang is back in the house today, along with the lovely and ever-gracious Natali Del Conte. She's just come back from her vacation, and we find out how she stalked Tom Hanks from the film "Angels & Demons" (check out her Loaded piece this Thursday). And Justin disappears from his first ever hate-on during the show.
Watch out boys.
(Credit: Natali Del Conte/CNET)On today's show, we've got Wilson Tang backers calling to defend the man. Lots of e-mails as well from supporters, who think finding out Tyler Perry is in a movie is about as much of a non-spoiler as you can get. But if you really want spoilers, check out Wilson's lastest Tumblr post, where he finds many faults in the new "Star Trek."
In more stories from the Interwebs, Craigslist has finally acquiesced to state attorneys general, who wanted the erotic service section taken down. Now, a new section will appear, which will be moderated by Craigslist employees. We think it's too bad that all it took was one bad apple to ruin it for everyone. Now, Jeff has to find a new side job.
Speaking of bad apples, Microsoft has been running these "Laptop Hunter" ads on television, and Apple comes back with its own "Megan" ad. We just think it's hilarious that these customers end up buying a 10-pound monster with a 22-inch screen. Wilson thinks it's even funnier that a "filmmaker" would buy a PC to edit her film on. What's she going to use? Windows Movie Maker? Come on, if you can afford Avid, the price difference between a Mac and a PC is trivial.
Natali's best contribution to the show today is that she says the words "penis phone" on air and teaches us the Spanish slang for "schlong." Apparently, Venezuela's leftist president Hugo Chavez is releasing a government-subsidized cell phone named after a certain male body part. It's because of the vibration function we suspect.
Finally, "404" shows up in some of the most random places. Check this out. It's a demolished building with a 404 sign. Be sure to send in your favorite 404 signs around the world at the404 (at) cnet (dot) com. Or drop us a voice mail with more Wilson love at 1-866-404-CNET (2638).

Wilson Tang is an associate producer for CNET TV. He's a part-time artist and filmmaker and has written and directed several films. He likes long walks on the beach and girls.
Jeff Bakalar is an editor for CNET Reviews, getting all the dirt on the gaming industry. After spending a few years in the world of film production, he has settled down and currently lives in New Jersey. He's an avid writer, gamer, and full-time pessimist.
Justin Yu can be found tinkering with printers and other peripherals for CNET, when he's not adjusting his headphones, riding his bike, or eating hot dogs for breakfast.
That being said, I think the brilliance of Romeo and Juliette is that, while much has been made in popular modern culture about the story as being a love story, it's really not. It's the story of a specific place and a specific cast of characters and how the foolish and impassioned actions of it's two main characters affect the world around them. The passion the charactesr have for one another is misplaced and ridiculous, but the way that passion affects others is where the real story is. that' why, I think, Twilight is so incredibly bad. It's not focused on anything but the self centeredness of it's main characters and not the implications of that.
Also, LOL! How could the credit to the photo be from Natali if she was in it? Hilarious! :D

Import Final Cut Pro projects, searchable speech, embed videos on the web and allow clients to make frame-accurate notes. That feature alone saved my butt when I moved to LA and was working on a project based in Georgia.
(The Mac version of Premiere stupidly doesn't have all of these features or else I would've totally used it before I picked up a PC version.)
moron...
Well, me. Using Vegas and a 4 year old laptop, incidentally.
God! Film related people can be utter posers [and tossers]. And do not tell me about "the professionals use blah, and meh.". Recently, after shooting with RED, we couldnīt use [surprise] Pro macs because they couldnīt handle the raw data.
Solution? 3 year old HP workstations.
BTW:
Natali, you should [more than anybody] well know that "vergatario" could mean very different things. Incidentally, in Venezuela [where the phone comes from] it means "kind hearted person". Just as the spaniard [from Spain] "take" means "****" for mexican people.
Thing is, now you do not have nor the right nor the privilege of slanting off the Spanish basket team for slit eye mockery. Specially as you [so often] use "cojones" so inappropriately.
