TWiT 218: Escape from Farmville

by Jonathan Downin in Tech837 days ago

Twitter continues to branch out with word that the teens are starting to control trending topics. Windows 7 is still the big news with everyone sharing their thoughts on the new operating system. It is almost impossible to find someone who is generally negative on Windows 7, and that’s about the biggest win any release of this magnitude can hope for. Apple has done their best to steal some of Microsoft’s thunder by releasing a slew of new products last week, and issuing a few new highly targeted ads. Net neutrality is back in the news...

TWiT 211: The Dummy Contract

by Jonathan Downin in Tech886 days ago

Google has been known to add some flair to their search page graphic from time to time, but the most recent one was weirdly geeky and pointed straight at game fans.  The graphic depicted one of the Os in their name being taken by a UFO with an accompanying twitter code that translated to “All your O are belong to us.”  This is a reference to the classic, poorly translated Japanese game Zero Wing, which is famous for the line “All your base are belong to us,” and Google did this on the 20th anniversary of the release of...

TWiT 204: Taste Like Dirt

by Jonathan Downin in Tech934 days ago

Leo has been off in China for the past 2 weeks, but he is back with a small and tight group this week.  Kevin Rose was on a completely unrelated China trip last week so be ready for some China talk between the two. Google’s Chrome OS is being faced with more criticism as time goes by.  Bill Gates is the latest to come out and discount the announcement as unexciting.  The prevailing opinion is that with nothing to show Google will probably deliver nothing more than a stripped down linux distribution level piece of software. The rumors of...

TWiT 193: Toodle Loo, Tuvalu

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1012 days ago

Disney is bringing ABC content to Hulu and with this Hulu’s quest for complete online TV content domination is almost complete.  If you haven’t you used Hulu, go check it out.  It is a very nice service with fairly minimal interstitial ads in the TV shows.  Also check out Boxee as Hulu is currently supported again, let’s hope it stays that way. Apple has started hiring for positions to start the process of producing their own chips in-house.  This is a very interesting move for Apple and is something that we have not seen from...

TWiT 184: Hard Times For Hard Copy

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1075 days ago

Print media has been slowly losing steam and now it is quickly dying.  With recent closings around the country of many long-running newspapers, people in print must be pretty nervous. A pretty good discussion on the Kindle 2 here. Alex Lindsay predicts that we will see an iPhone/iPod Touch device from Apple in the same form-factor as the Kindle by July of this year.  Everyone is still waiting for the mythical Apple tablet.  With the app store and mobile OS X in place, it seems like the posibility is increasingly becoming more and more likely. Apple...

TWiT 176: The Fat Middle

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1131 days ago

Like everyone else, the TWiT crew really has nothing to talk about, except for CES and Macworld stuff.  The anticipation seems to be killing everyone. Windows 7 looks great and Apple’s ______ looks (fill in the blank).  It’s funny how the two big players in the tech world operate so differently.  No matter what happens, things should be interesting in the tech world for the next few days. CES and Macworld predictions, iPhone Nano, Windows 7, iFart, dead Zune day, and more. Runtime – 1:08:49 Link (TWiT)

TWiT 175: Highlights And Lowlifes 2008

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1138 days ago

We are lucky enough to get a clip show on this weeks episode of TWiT.  When it comes to a weekly show, making a clip show is incredibly time consuming and labor intensive so it great to get this one. Listening to all of these clips makes me glad I put TWiT in the top 5 that I put out a few days ago.  The discussion here is great with so many different points of view from so many people.  You absolutely will not find another tech podcast with a better roster than this. A selection of good and bad TWiT clips from 2008, featuring many of this year’s...
