| - Sorry for the late podcast! We're so busy running around at different conventions and conferences that the podcast had to take a bit of a back seat today.
- Blogger Kathy Sierra has canceled appearances and stopped blogging after several vicious postings and death threats appeared on the Internet. In less disturbing news, YouTube announced its prize winners, and Leopard looks like it's on track fro a spring release.
- knew those people over at Google had a sense of humor, but did they really think they could fool us into swimming to Ireland via France instead of directly? Well, MapQuest probably would have taken us through Spain or something.
- The dynamic duo of Stephen Hawking and Richard Branson are teaming up to someday send the brilliant physicist into space! In other, less heartwarming news, Lenovo is recalling 100,000 batteries that might "irritate" your skin. It's your lucky day, Sony. These were made by Sanyo.
- I never thought I'd be a supporter of any action taken by Clear Channel , but they're taking a stand with NPR against the new Internet radio copyright ruling. Weird, but good.
- Robots are joining the fast-food industry, but not as cooks or servers. They'll be in the back office telling everyone else what to do. Meanwhile, everybody's upping their storage. Xbox goes to 120GB and Yahoo mail goes unlimited.
- Risking life and limb, Veronica overcomes a possibly explosive cell phone battery to report on the latest from CTIA. Meanwhile, Google denies it is going to do any phones at all, and the Apple TV is already getting hacked.
- Patrick Norton and Roger Chang drop by the studio and school us on a number of topics. Most terrifying is the thought that genetically-altered sheep might take over. That's probably worse than robots.
- According to Apple, if you got your phone for free, well, you got what you paid for. That means the $600 you will spend on the iPhone is totally worth it, right? That's the reasoning, anyway.
- Sony has released some new advancements for the PS3, and one of them is a Second Life-like feature called Home! Fortunately , there won't be any poo flinging or naked people running around.
- I guess it was only a matter of time before MySpace jumped onto the social news bandwagon. Will its sheer numbers be enough to beat the Digg machine?
- We're back! Luckily, we didn't miss too much news while we were gone, but here's a quick rundown: Viacom sues YouTube, YouTube hits back with a video awards show. We're all about Chad Vader getting the recognition he deserves!
- It's all so clear to us why Sony was making a big deal about rumble in their controllers the other day: it was the old "patent dispute" schtick! And Microsoft has had its first win against Alcatel-Lucent in that patent drama. Can everyone just settle down?
- As podcasters, we feel compelled to promote this movement to get an independent artist recognized on iTunes, but we won't tell you how to spend your 99 cents. In other news, Microsoft has been listed as the "most secure OS," according to a very unlikely source.
