- When we first heard about WiiWare, we were sure it was a hip, new Wii-inspired fashion statement. As it turns out, it's actually a new software development tool for the Nintendo Wii.
- Google can tell that a face exists on an image search result--just not whose face it is! That might be a good thing; it already knows too much...
- Rafe just doesn't understand. He thinks the Nokia N95 phone is just as ridiculously priced as the iPhone. That's because he hasn't touched one. When he does, it will woo him over to our side--then he will understand. Also, we get into the whole violent video games debate again regarding "Manhunt".
- Google and Apple? Yahoo and MySpace? The world is going topsy-turvy with buyout rumor news! Even if none of it ever comes true, it's fun to think of a world where it does.
- Tom was so mad today, you could hear the anger radiating off of him, even when he wasn't talking. Trust me, I saw the whole thing. It burned my eyes.
- Big changes in the mobile industry could be on the horizon! Cell phones using the Qualcomm semiconductors will be banned from being sold in the U.S. What will this mean for smart phones?
- Google is up in arms over the search features in Windows Vista, saying that they're anticompetitive and difficult to turn off. We wonder if Google should be careful about talking too much about monopolies--you know what happens when you talk too much, don't ya?
- Oops! Sorry everyone, we were totally punked yesterday. But let's move on to real news, like porn losing money over user-generated content. We couldn't make that one up if we tried!
- In protest of the new fees from the Copyright Royalty Board, Web radio is having a day of silence. Obviously, we don't fall into that category, but if you don't want to listen today, we'll understand.
- We're totally sick of talking about the iPhone, but what can we do? IT'S EVERYWHERE!! Today is a podcast full of the Big Three - Apple, Google and Microsoft.
- Yes, it's going to be one of those days. We discuss Yahoo, gorillas, guerrillas, secret DSL plans, and the oldest EULA we've ever seen.
- Hah! Where's your 3G iPhone now, Europe? Apple is having a hard time finding a carrier for the iPhone across the pond. Fortunately for those Europeans, they have a better chance of getting the phone unlocked.
- Today was WWDC, and while we weren't overly impressed, there were still a few cool things to talk about. For example, Safari for Windows. That was not something that I was expecting.
- Someday, in the not-to-distant future, the battle for the remote control will reach a new level of sophistication! Will your brain be ready?
- Yeah you know me! According to Tom, it's better to wait and see if anyone takes advantage of Net neutrality before we make any legislation. Also, Apple has put the kibosh on your eBay scheme for the iPhone!
- Perhaps we're putting too much pressure on NAND memory here, but the idea of instant boot time is pretty compelling. We also look into the controversy of iTunes messing with songs you've converted to MP3. Conspiracy? Or just another buggy iTunes update?
- Apple is being accused of using models with enormous hands to make the iPhone look smaller. Gizmodo has a pretty good comparison of two photos that make it look as if large-handed people may be in the employ of Steve Jobs. In other news, you can now burn your trash for power.
- The PS3 might finally get a price drop, but does that mean it will catch on in a big way in time for the holiday season? I doubt it.
- We have some tips today for securing an iPhone of your very own, just like Walt Mossberg did! Except he got his from Apple, weeks before the rest of us. Lucky.
- I have to wax my hot yak, study my frozen goldfish, and move my sneaky hamster. I know, excuses, excuses.
- Former AT&T CEO Ed Whitacre had some choice words about Net neutrality as he made his farewell speech--please, Ed, tell us how you really feel! Also today, Dell sets the record straight about its Linux PC warranties!
