Jon’s Podcast Recommendation #2: The Totally Rad Show

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, Podcasts, TV351 days ago

When I first heard that The Totally Rad Show was going to be changing format from a weekly video show to a bite-sized daily segments, it seemed clear that this was primarily a move to serve sponsors and garner more “clicks”. After finally giving it a chance a couple weeks later, I was proven dead wrong and earned a new appreciation for one of Revision3′s longest running podcasts. Basically, our hosts Jeff Cannata, Daniel Trachtenburg, and Alex Albrecht take us on a daily ride into a single movie, video game, television show, comic...

There’s not much news to cover at the top of the show, with Patrick hitting on Apple’s success in the last quarter with $26 billion in revenue and huge iPad sales.

Tekzilla 183 – Verizon iPhone, Cloud Antivirus, Sandy Bridge Sucks for Home Theater?

by Jon Cole in Tech386 days ago

The Verizon iPhone is the biggest news of last week, though details that 4G LTE won’t be supported by the device seem to temper the Tekzilla crew’s excitement. In music news, Universal chose to donate a whole load music to the Library of Congress which will soon be made available to the public. Finally, Google chose to drop H.264 support in their Chrome browser, putting all their eggs in the WebM basket despite the lack of adoption in other browsers.

News is light this deep into the holidays, so the first big segment of this episode is centered around last minute stocking stuffers.
