]]> Bill Gates releasing mosquitoes into the audience at the TED conference is the craziest thing I have heard all week.  I understand that he wanted to make a point and raise awareness about malaria, but that is FAR from the best way to do it.  As John C Dvorak put it, “That was a dick move.”

I have talked about it a lot in many posts recently, but the Kindle 2 is becoming more of a reality day by day.  Looks slick and really, really thin.

The topic of print media dying has been a popular talking point for more than two years now.  With the recent closing of EGM and many other closures, this seems to be becoming a reality.  I will be sad to see electronic versions really take over, but it may just be sentimentality as I almost never buy magazines anymore.  Is the Kindle a first step in the right direction or a sad signal of the inevitable coming death of physical print media?

Bill Gates stings TED, Nielsen reply all, newspapers choking, new Kindle, Guitar Hero kid, and more.

]]> 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.

]]> 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 guests.
