TWiT 192: Kipple And Bits

by Jonathan Downin in TechApril 27th, 2009 @ 12:15 pm

TWiTSwine flu is a big topic these days.  Many are wondering if this is the next big pandemic or if it is just part of the 24 hour news cycle.  Leo is swaying a bit towards the former.  Luckily, Dr. Kirsten Sanford is on this week talking about the actual severity of the situation and what you can do to protect yourself.  You can also track the reported cases using Google Maps.

The news of Microsoft revenues being down while Apple is up is amazing.  Apple provides a high priced product when compared to Microsoft’s offerings of very low priced netbooks and in this recession-type environment it is surprising that people will still spend the extra money for Apple products.  Jason Calacanis makes a great point about perceived value.  Apple still claims they won’t jump into the netbook game, but everyone here thinks they will introduce something.

The Pirate Bay story continues to get more interesting.  Apparently the judge in the case has some connection to copyright organizations that the defense is also a part of.  This definitely makes the ruling more than a little suspect.

Swine flu, Microsoft revenue drops, Apple poo-poos netbooks, The Pirate Bay, and more.
