This is Only a Test – Episode 51 – Meet the Controversacast – 2/3/2011

by Alex Martin in Tech370 days ago

This week, Gary appears as his alter-ego, Ana, so they can pump out an information-packed podcast. They start with Google’s Honeycomb event, where Google detailed the forthcoming version of their Android operating-system, optimized for tablets. Intel recalled their Sandy Bridge motherboards, which would have caused errors in SATA drives over time. Will’s happy that they acknowledged and fixed the error quickly. Twitter followers of Google and Microsoft employees have been party to some petty squabbling this week. Norm explains exactly...

CastMedium Podcast 068 – 01.27.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech, TV380 days ago

After a week hiatus we are back. Did you hear that I’m the new producer for the Joystiq Podcast? Also, Jeff Gerstmann has been putting together a little show over the past couple weeks that you may want to check out. In games it’s all reactions and speculation on Nintendo and Sony’s latest forays into the handheld market. 3DS is coming in at a hot $249, and none of us are too pleased about it. Word that the PSP2 may have 3G connectivity built-in sounds nice, but wariness about data plans quickly quells our enthusiasm. Oh, and...

Episode 48 – Parole Set for 2/10 – 1/12/2011

by Alex Martin in Movies, Tech393 days ago

With CES content still being published on Tested, Will, Norm, and Gary start this podcast with a summary of some of the show’s standout products. These include the Motorola Atrix PC/Android-phone hybrid, Lady Gaga’s camera glasses, Sony’s 3D headset, and Toshiba’s glassesless 3D TVs. They also look at why no one trend emerged as a highlight of the show. Before moving on to the news, Gary’s research (for a science fiction project) into Lagrangian points prompts an interesting, if inexpert, physics discussion. The biggest...

This is Only a Test – Episode 38 – Turkey Day Q&A – 11/24/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech442 days ago

It’s Thanksgiving and Norm’s thankful for his Breville Pie-Maker. He also likes the way apps scale to the seven-inch screen on his Samsung Galaxy Tab.  Will doesn’t think the Boxee Box is quite finished, and is less intuitive than Apple TV. iOS 4.2 has improved the iPad, and brought AirPlay to iOS devices, allowing limited video-streaming to TVs. In lieu of news, which is slowing down anyway, they devote the rest of this massive episode to questions and answers. They answer dozens of audio questions about everything from the computers...

This is Only a Test – Episode 37 – That’s What She Said – 11/18/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech448 days ago

Norm, Will, and Gary are thankful (a week early) for the futuristic world of technology we live in. They start with ESPN3, which is part of the confusing market of video-streaming boxes and services, and 3D and HD televisions they continue to discuss. Apart from testing televisual technology, Will’s reviewed the MacBook Air. They’ve tried the Nook Color, too, and expect to be impressed when it’s modded to be more functional. They wonder about the future of Android, given challenges from webOS and Windows Phone 7. After mentioning...

Mobcast 79: Improving PR, Vacation Games, Manuals vs. Tutorials, and More

by Alex Martin in Games452 days ago

Former 1UP podcaster Ray Barnholt, and Karen Chu of Gamepro and Geekbox are Aaron and Demian’s guests on this week’s Mobcast. They start by suggesting games for Demian to take on his next vacation. Their handheld discussion leads into Karen’s topic of iPhone games. But even though she’s currently glued to Pocket Frogs, she still hasn’t found an iPhone game that lasts her more than a week. The community topic this week is public relations. They talk about some of the best and worst (mostly worst) practices of the games...

Tekzilla – James Cameron From Blu-con! USB 3.0 Kicks Ass. Android Beats iPhone

by Jon Cole in Tech461 days ago

After geeking out over Logitech’s new Solar-charged keyboard, Patrick and Veronica dive into a viewer question asking about USB 3.0 and its significance in the current market. They get into some actual motherboards and PCI cards with 3.0 plugs, as well as some supported hard drive enclosures and such that take advantage of the transfer speed. As per usual, the Tekzilla crew shares a website “they just can’t get enough of”, this time highlighting a unique search tool called Blekko. Patrick joins HD Nation co-host Robert Heron...

Tekzilla – Windows Phone 7: Thumbs Up!

by Jon Cole in Tech473 days ago

After quite a long absence on CastMedium, Revision3′s Tekzilla returns this week with regular updates going forward. Reemergence of Verizon iPhone rumors have been linked to Verizon LTE plans, implying the possibility that Apple will finally take the plunge due to the new mobile telephony standard. Patrick and Veronica take this opportunity to further explain the differences between the different mobile specs on the market, highlighting the prevalence of GSM and the limited reach of CDMA. Lead analyst for PC Mag’s Mobile division Sascha...

Episode 31 – Special Guests! – 10/07/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech490 days ago

Will’s had a little trouble setting up Apple TV on his old TV, but that doesn’t stop him, Norm, and Ana discussing Apple’s video-streaming device. It’s got a few compatibility issues with files you already have, but it’s great for renting and streaming video. They’ve also had a look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Norm prefers its keyboard to the iPad’s, but he and Will agree that the web is a better experience on Apple’s tablet. Apart from expensive “poop coffee“, that’s all the new...

This is Only a Test – Episode 26 – Gary vs. The Reality Distortion Field – 9/1/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech526 days ago

Something Apple-related happened this week. Incidentally, Gary Whitta is back. Before they get to Apple’s announcements, Norm has been using Amazon’s new Kindle e-reader, which has recently been given a smaller, sleeker redesign. Gary’s sticking with the iPad Kindle app for reading, and Will has been tinkering with coffee beans. CyanogenMod 6.0 — a community-built version of the Android mobile OS — was released this week. It’s the main alternative to manufacturers’ own interfaces, which slow phones down...

This is Only a Test – Episode 25 – Goat Prawn – 8/26/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech532 days ago

Tested seem to have come to the conclusion that bigger is better, as they’ve upped the amount of podcasters to four this week. Will and Norm are joined by Tested staffers Ana and Matt. Matt’s had a quick play with Windows Phone 7 and reports back. It’s slick, clean, and better than Kin. They discuss Apple’s patent of a new interface for iMacs. It’ll mix a touch screen with a keyboard and mouse. Will sounds doubtful of the applications this could have before they remember they shouldn’t have started the news segment...

CastMedium Podcast 048 – 08.17.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech543 days ago

We have a longer show this week in light of some bigger news items hitting over the past few days. Gamer with Jobs hit their 200th episode, so congratulations to them. Jeff Green announced that he has left EA and will be moving on to something else. GamesCon is happening and there may be some announcements, but this also means that it may be a slightly lighter week of podcasts. Bioshock Infinite kicks-off the game discussion and we are all interested to see more about Ken Levine’s latest. Erik has been enjoying Monday Night Combat and is looking...

TWiT 260: Sex, Lies, And Contractors

by Jon Cole in Tech550 days ago

This Week in Tech mixes it up a little this week since Leo is on vacation, instead welcoming Tom Merritt as the host. As the host of several other shows on the TWiT network including Tech News Today, Tom is very familiar with the show’s format while adding a little bit of his own flavor to the mix. TechCrunch has recently published a very extensive story which purports that… you’ll never believe this… Verizon and Apple are going to be releasing a CDMA iPhone in January. Even news that Verizon will be presenting a keynote...

Rebel FM

Rebel FM Episode 66 – 06/30/10

by Alex Martin in Games587 days ago

Rebel FM is a polarizing podcast, and this week is a perfect example of that. Robert Ashley (A Life Well Wasted), Scott Bromley, and Brian Altano (both IGN) join Anthony and Arthur for a two-hour runaway train of tangents, crude jokes, and relationship advice. They maintain focus initially to talk about the games they’ve been playing, including Transformers: War for Cybertron. It had a few glitches and unhelpful AI, but Arthur still rated it higher than many other reviewers. Anthony’s been playing submarine simulator Naval Assault: the...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 15

by Jonathan Downin in Games588 days ago

It’s just like old times this week with Shane Bettenhausen sitting in the guest seat. Shane kicks-off the game talk with his impressions of Final Fantasy XIII and while he isn’t as hard on it as much of the press has been, he is obviously disappointed in how it turned out. The Nintendo 3DS is up next and everyone is still high on it. iPhone and iPad game talk finishes the first segment. Jeff’s thoughts on Singularity start the second segment and he enjoyed it despite its somewhat serviceable take on the shooter genre with heavy...
