Diggnation has been going crazy with the live shows recently and this week’s episode was shot live in Arizona. Things get a little rowdy with the Go Daddy girls and Kevin hits a ball with a golf club right at an audience member. No one was hurt and the person actually caught the incident on [...]

Diggnation | Episode 216 – Hippie Glenn Slurs
August 19th, 2009
This episode was recorded last week while Alex and Kevin were in Las Vegas for their live show. It’s strange, but everyone seems a little more drunk here than during the live show, which was actually taped after this one.
First up this week is an unfortunate example of why you kids should be careful while [...]
Diggnation | Episode 215 – What Happens in Vegas, Stays On Diggnation…with Ashton Kutcher
August 11th, 2009
First story up this week is about a bikini that is being pitched as a good post-breakup revenge tool because it disintegrates seconds after hitting water. This sounds all well and good, but how is this plausibly going to work? You either have to anticipate the bad breakup and gift it before or somehow gift [...]
Diggnation | Episode 214 – Onboard the Patron Tequila Express
August 5th, 2009
The first story is one that falls in the “funny but it shouldn’t be” category. A nursing home in Germany came up with the idea of installing a fake bus stop outside the building to help keep patients from running away. It is actually a rather human and sweet way to deal with a tough [...]
Diggnation | Episode 213 – 800 Bajillion Manillion Dollars
July 29th, 2009
If you were saddened by the recent news that Comedy Central was not planning to bring the original voice cast of Futurama back due to budgetary reasons, you will be happy with this first story. Apparently, John DiMaggio, voice of Bender and others, was at the Futurama Comic-Con panel and hinted that things will probably [...]
Diggnation | Episode 212 – WWKAD: What Would Kevin And Alex Do?
July 22nd, 2009
The first story up front here is the Nazi stealth fighter. As Kevin and Alex cover, this was basically an American stealth bomber 20 years before its inception. It is pretty amazing to see how hostory could have been so different with just a few tweaks.
Tim Burton has been at the forefront of visual design [...]
TWiT 204: Taste Like Dirt
July 20th, 2009
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 [...]
Extra! Extra! Read all about it. JK Rowling is a woman! At least it was news to Kevin. Also, he says he could write a “wizard book.”
The story about the girl diagnosing herself is either really cool or extremely depressing. Either way, good for her.
This episode was obviously taped a few weeks ago since the [...]
Diggnation | Episode 208 – Bing, Bang, Boom… And a zap.
June 24th, 2009
Kids these days. More stories about high schoolers changing up the whole system for those of us that were born in the early 1900s.
Microsoft’s Bing has proven to be a quite capable search engine. This may just be the first Google competitor that we have seen. The chance of a mass exodus to Bing is [...]
Diggnation | Episode 205 – Affairs to Remember
June 3rd, 2009
Apparently, a 14 year old Australian boy found himself in a predicament when a fish went somewhere he didn’t mean for it to go. Well, maybe he meant for it to go there, but the real problem was when he didn’t want it there any more.
The guys get into a discussion about jealousy and how [...]
Diggnation | Episode 204 – Lasers, Bras and Chocolate Bars
May 27th, 2009
There is a new app for the iPhone/iPod Touch named Red Lazer that scans barcodes much like an application that was available for the G1 at launch, The problem with Red Lazer is that it doesn’t really work. The real problem is the camera in the iPhone doesn’t support short focus. Hopefully this will be [...]
TWiT 214: Live From Caracas
September 28th, 2009
It’s back to the classic group of TWiTs this week with Patrick Norton and Kevin Rose. Google’s Sidewiki project is not getting a positive response from Leo. He argues that this is bad for site owners as they lose control of the discussion around their content. USB 3.0 and Intel’s Light Peak lead into a [...]
