The Totally Rad Show – Episode 171: Torturous

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies688 days ago

This weeks movie is Knight & Day and the TRS guys are surprisingly high on it. Jeff starts things off by saying that the film is alot of fun, he makes note that Tom Cruise‘s consistently positive character makes for a fairly unique situation. Alex and Dan pretty much reiterate his sentiment, all agree it’s very funny with some great action sequences and is surpisngly unique. With E3 having just finished there aren’t alot of new games to talk about so Jeff decided it’d be a good idea to focus on some smaller games. Kicking...

This is Only a Test – Episode 17 – iPhone 4 is Here! – 6/23/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech694 days ago

Jesus, sorry, the iPhone 4 has arrived! Choirboys Will and Norm have invited screenwriter and Apple evangelist Gary Whitta to help preach. They get deep into the new minutiae of the fourth coming – how close the LCD is to the glass, pixel density, how it looks under direct sunlight – and that’s just the screen. They test Facetime, Apple’s word for “video chat”, which doesn’t play so well for audio so it might be a good idea to check out video footage on the site. For infidels, Google’s Froyo update is available on...

This is Only a Test – Episode 15 – This Week in iNews

by Alex Martin in Tech707 days ago

Lots of iPhone news this week, but first Will and Norm introduce guest Matt Braga. Tested are hiring more news writers like Matt, and he gives a quick run down of the job. They’re also looking for an intern from the San Fransisco bay area. The trio give a quick recap of some of the week’s site features, the biggest of which was their host of home server videos — they built competing AMD- and Intel-based home servers and pitted them against each other. They don’t waste much time getting to iPhone 4 news. The wonder-device...

CastMedium Podcast 039 – 06.08.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech710 days ago

Just two topics this week. We talk about the new Screened.com podcast and then move on to what we want to see at E3. A slim-line Xbox 360 alongside Natal has us all interested, and Sony’s recent PSPgo strategy leaves us baffled about what they may do at E3. In tech, it’s all about the iPhone 4. Engadget has some great coverage where you can catch up on some of the details if you missed Steve Jobs’s WWDC keynote– just look at that screen. Covered topics: E3 hopes and fears, iPhone 4 Runtime – 34:05 Links → | mp3...

Engadget Podcast 198 – 05.29.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech717 days ago

Microsoft has been big in tech news this week with two major stories. The first is Robbie Bach and J Allard’s simultaneous departures from the company, under the notion that Steve Ballmer is going to take the their management reigns. This double departure may be slightly due to the fact that Apple has just passed the big M in market cap, meaning their outstanding shares have a greater cumulative value. Both pieces of news hopefully center around a new push to straighten up a couple struggling spokes of Microsoft’s big wheel of...

This is Only a Test – Episode 12 – Lobot Strikes Back – 5/20/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech728 days ago

This week’s all aluminum foil, Apple, Google, and exercise equipment on the Tested podcast. Norm helped co-host Will rig his apartment with foil and other high tech equipment in an effort to improve his home network. In Google news, their I/O conference has brought word of technology that will allow web masters to use more fonts on their sites. Wave is now available to everyone. The Chrome App store could be Google’s revolutionary alternative to desktops. They also have a free video codec coming that will be an alternative to the...

Engadget Podcast 196 – 05.14.2010

by Jon Cole in Tech734 days ago

Android news essentially dominates the first half of this week’s Engadget show, for several good reasons. Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ details have slowly leaked out through sites like TechCrunch, revealing both tethering and wi-fi hotspot features. These features sound great, but their true implementation may not be as peachy as expected, with Sprint saying they’ll charge extra for similar features on their upcoming HTC EVO 4G. Nilay insists that these price hikes don’t spell well for the EVO, while Josh and Paul argue...

Rebel FM 61 — 05/06/10

by Alex Martin in Games741 days ago

Technical difficulties force a late, truncated Rebel FM this week. The regulars, along with Matt Chandronait and Robert Ashley, still mange to bring two hours of the usual high-quality cat facts, relationship advice, and video games talk. Alan Wake starts the show, and the crew avoid spoilers again while heaping praise on its stylish shooting action and atmosphere, which Robert compares to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.’s mist and darkness. Robert has some cheap iPhone games to recommend — Action Buggy, Rise, and Warpgate. Anthony went to Pixar’s...

This is Only a Test – Episode 10 – What’s the Right Price for a Kin? – 5/6/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech742 days ago

The Tested two have been using the Alienware M11x, Sonos S5 music streaming boxes, Psyko’s surround-sound headphones, and the iPad 3G. Some of these have reviews on the site, some don’t, but Will and Norm give their honest impressions here. Moving on to tech news, they discuss the unappealing data plan for Microsoft’s Kin“smart-dumb” phones — $30 a month for data (not including calls and texts) doesn’t look like great value for a phone that lacks many of the features of its peers. They also chat about...

TWiT 246: Two And A Half Journalists

by Jon Cole in Tech744 days ago

Things start off in a fairly predictable manner, hitting on the iPhone 4th gen scandal news that precipitated earlier in the week. However, that issue is clearly not the biggest story, as Leo pointedly wants to “get it out of the way” at the beginning. HP’s acquisition of Palm is the biggest shift in technology, marking the possibility of yet another major player into the mobile space. Due to HP’s pedigree, however, there’s much speculation as to their tablet strategies wielding WebOS (especially in light of the...

Engadget Podcast 193 – 04.23.2010

by Jonathan Downin in Tech755 days ago

It’s all about the iPhone 4 leaks out of Gizmodo this week. Joshua recaps the whole story of the leak, and it was quite a series of events. The guys also get into the actual hardware itself and the opinions are pretty positive all around. (We also like the look of it and cover it in the latest CM Podcast) There was another high profile leak this week in the multitude of forthcoming Dell handsets and tablets. The Dell devices run the gamut of Windows Phone 7 and Android. The really surprising thing here is that they all look really slick. After...

This is Only a Test – Episode 8 – The Week of 1000 Leaks – 4/22/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech756 days ago

This is Only a Test is recorded in front of a live-stream audience and some noisy Giant Bomb employees. Will and Norm start the tech talk with a mention of their Asus PC 1001P review, which is apparently a neat little netbook for “collegiate use”, but not so hot on HD video. They move on to the news of the leak of Dell’s entire line-up of smart-phones and and tablet PCs. The confusingly named line-up goes for the machine-gun approach, with a wide range of features and price-points. Some of the devices will use Microsoft’s...

MacBreak Weekly 191: Lost

by Jonathan Downin in Tech759 days ago

There is one huge story this week, and you can be sure that Leo and gang are going to give it due time. The leaked iPhone/Gizmodo debacle can be approached from many different angles. The guys start with impressions of the new handset itself and then move onto the way in which Gizmodo has handled the story. Merlin has a lot of strong feelings on the matter and is very eloquent here while tearing into Gawker Media, parent company of Gizmodo. While a good chunk of the show is taken up by the iPhone leak story, the guys do find time to hit some of...

Retronauts Episode 91: 04/16/2010

by Alex Martin in Games763 days ago

Jeremy takes a back seat to Frank for this reunion episode with Tengen programmers Steve Woita, Franz Lanzinger, and Mark Morris. Tengen was Atari’s console publishing and development branch, porting arcade games to the NES, and later to the Genesis. Nintendo’s strict restrictions on NES developers — manufacturing cartridges, dictating the number that were manufactured, and taking a large cut of the profit for themselves — made for an oppressive atmosphere. Tengen mostly made games without Nintendo’s Seal of Approval,...

TWiT 240: The Texas Reach-Around

by Jon Cole in Tech786 days ago

Twitter’s birthday starts things off for this show, allowing Leo to plug @LisaTickledPink and give another mention to the associated iPad giveaway. Next up is Sprint’s deceptive marketing in their recent commercial, advertising their 4G services while showing an iPhone accessing 4G via their wi-fi mobile hotspot. Wrapping up the mobile talk, Leo talks a little bit about Palm’s recent drop in stock prices while John essentially holds a funeral for the company. The biggest mainstream tech news of the week is the story of a “hacker”...
