TWiT 220: Buffet Neutrality

by Jon Cole in Tech821 days ago

Unsurprisingly, this week’s TWiT starts with talk about the Verizon Droid.  Leo notices that a lot of his friends in the tech community seem to be interested, which says a lot for the phone.  Mark Milian talks about how the iPhone is often praised as a good pocket personal computer, but Verizon’s network undeniably guarantees that the Droid will be a good phone at square one. Comcast is now in the business of throttling bandwidth and Frank Barnako can’t help but protest.  Since throttling is effectively false advertisement, it negates...

TWiT 215: Who Needs This Crap?

by Jonathan Downin in Tech858 days ago

There have been reports flying around the web that Comcast may be in the market to acquire a controlling share of NBC. This could lead to some drastic changes in how easy it is to watch streaming TV shows over the internet with cable providers having a large interesting in driving package subscriptions. A play for NBC could be a way for Comcast to protect their traditional revenue streams. The topic of advertising takes a big chunk of time this week. It is popular topic and the crew weighs in with their takes on viable strategies. Leo is a strong...

MacBreak Weekly 158: They Don’t Have That in the US

by Jonathan Downin in Tech877 days ago

Andy and Alex have both gotten their hands on the new camera-equipped iPod nano and the impressions are fairly positive.  While the image quality takes a serious hit when moving quickly, walking and in low-light situations, the video looks great in optimal conditions.  Overall, it seems to be a great addition to the device. The camera-less iPod Touch receives a lot of attention with the group again reiterating that a camera equipped version will probably show up in the next few months.  The technical differences between the 8Gb and higher-end...

TWiT 190: Gripping Jobs

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1033 days ago

It’s very small group this week with just Dvorak, Wil Harris and Neha Tiwari on the show.  For those of you who don’t know Neha, she has been around since the Tech TV days and has done a few shows since with a new show named V01d coming soon. Insiders at Apple insist that Steve Jobs has been involved in all big decisions at the company during his absence and that he is still on track to return in June.  His leave is already more than half over so we will soon know how things are going to shake out. The talk of the last part of the...

TWiT 179: Retail Therapy

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1109 days ago

Right up front the crew is talking about the business prospect of giving content away for free and what that means on the business side of things.  How is it that the big guys don’t understand that getting content out there will almost always have a positive influence on sales? The 1 second commercial idea for this year’s Super Bowl is interesting.  It’s just another sign of the changing landscape of advertising. On a technical note, this week’s episode is a little echo-y, quite out of the norm for TWiT. Update 01/26 @...

TWiT 175: Highlights And Lowlifes 2008

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1138 days ago

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...
