The 404 338: Where we boldly go to see 'Star Trek'
We try to keep the show spoiler-free today, but in case you didn't know from the movie poster, Tyler Perry is in the movie. Overall, we think it's a great, fun film, but there are some deep plot holes you could fly the Enterprise through.Check out our video wrap-up from the opening here in New York on CNET TV.On today's show, we find out the origins of the name Twitter.Apparently, its etymology is whale-based.The Natural History Museum Whale also follows us today.In more crazy news from the Web, "DJ Hero" comes out soon to ensure that the next generation of children will not know how to play a single real musical instrument.In more video game news, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier is rated T for teen, but on the box, it contains "alcohol references, fantasy violence, mild language, partial nudity, and suggestive themes."We wonder what you have to do to get a M-rating now.Finally, if you're still living your mother's basement and playing World of Warcraft, we've got a gadget for you that will ensure that you will never get a girlfriend.It is a hut that will let players isolate themselves from the outside world, feed them, and possibly even wipe their butts.We're not sure if the last one is really a feature, but it's definitely in the same vein.Keep calling into the show at 1-866-404-CNET (2638).We love your voice mails.Next week, we've got Molly Wood joining us on the show along with the equally lovely @LizMoney from the Gadget411 and Anna David!Episode 338Download today's podcast |Â Subscribe in iTunes audio Subscribe in RSS Audio | Â Subscribe in RSS VideoThe 404 at the opening of 'Star Trek' in NYDJ Hero coming outNever leave your mother's basement while playing World of WarcraftT-rated "Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier"Follow us on Twitter!The 404Jeff BakalarJustin YuWilson Tang

Learn to save lives with useful iPhone app
Pocket First Aid & CPR was created by the American Heart Association in collaboration with Jive Media. It's is a 65MB application (so make sure you install it via iTunes or a Wi-Fi connection) thatfeatures hundreds of pages of text and illustrations, with topics ranging from CPR andchoking to bites, bruises, burns, seizures, and diabetic emergencies. The app also features detailed and high-quality video demonstrations showing how to respond in critical first-aid situations. These include instructions for taking care of someone who is choking, giving CPR, responding to seizures, and treating cuts and wounds. I personally like the section about choking and breathing problems, as those are common emergencies that require immediate assistance.It's important to note that the application is not designed to be used in an emergency, but rather is something for you to study during idle time. Unlike the Human Atlas app that requires an active Internet connection to use, Pocket First Aid & CPR works completely offline, thus making it a useful time-killer during a long flight.The app also comes with a section in which you can enter personal medical information, such as emergency contacts, allergies, current medications, and insurance information, for quick access in an emergency. The information isstored on your individual phone only and is deleted if the application is removed from the phone.Pocket First Aid & CPR works with iPhones and iPod Touches and is available at Apple's App Store for $3.99. That price will be entirely justified the first time you are able to take the lessons in this app and successfully apply them. Saving a life: priceless.
