Will and Norm have Tested alarm clocks, DSi innards and rocket ships this week. They went to the Maker Faire where they saw the giant rocket as well as a giant spider, airsoft warships, and the guys that designed their Makerbot.

The guys move swiftly on to tech news, including Google’s Android FroYo mobile operating system and Google TV, which they are not that excited about. They discuss the graphics card news coming from Nvidia and Intel. Microsoft have had a staff shake-up and with rumors of a $150 price for Natal, they wonder whether it will be worth the price. Lastly, they ask just what you do with a five inch tablet/phone.

They finish with emails, which include questions about Mac Books, wireless charging solutions, and what Apple’s next big product will be.

Covered topics: Maker Faire, Google, graphics cards, Microsoft Natal, Dell Streak
