Diggnation | Episode 215 – What Happens in Vegas, Stays On Diggnation…with Ashton Kutcher

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, TechAugust 11th, 2009 @ 11:59 pm

DiggnationFirst story up this week is about a bikini that is being pitched as a good post-breakup revenge tool because it disintegrates seconds after hitting water.  This sounds all well and good, but how is this plausibly going to work?  You either have to anticipate the bad breakup and gift it before or somehow gift it after the bad breakup.  This is not going to happen either way.

The biggest real tech news of this episode has the guys discussing Yahoo and its partnership with Microsoft to drop their own search technology and transplant it with Bing.  This basically means that even though you search from Yahoo.com, what you are actually getting is Bing powered search results.  Microsoft is now the only potential competition to Google with a 30% total search market share.

Ashton Kutcher, rumored new friend of Kevin, makes an appearance near the end to promote his new movie, Spread.  As with most celebrity Diggnation appearances, this is a little awkward, but still somewhat cool.

Alex and Kevin are live in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino Resort. Alex has some disturbing thoughts.

Runtime – 48:26
