Settle in for a lot of tech talk this week because this week’s episode clocks in at almost 2 hours. Jason Calacanis is on this week starting out the discussion with the start-up competition TechCrunch50, which kicks-off later today. The topic is talked about here, but the rumor is that we may hear something about the CrunchPad in mere hours.
The Apple event is one of the main focuses here and everyone has an opinion. No one can seem to get past the fact that a camera wasn’t put into the iPod Touch. This leads into a discussion about David Pogue and his inappropriate Apple fanboy nature as the main tech pundit of the New York Times. He was one of the few people to have a Q&A session with Steve Jobs after last Tuesday’s announcements and proved to not be able to press any issues. Steve Jobs himself is also a main topic here with him being heralded as “the Edison of our time.”
On the business-side of things, the group touches on Facebook’s apparent play towards becoming more Twitter-like with the introduction of Facebook Lite. Ebay’s selling of Skype also gets some time at the end of this one.
TechCrunch50, Dr. Horrible’s Emmy, gadget theft, iPod Nano, Facebook, Skype, and more.
