Here's our March show. Yes, it seems we're now to putting out one episode a month - and even that will be coming to a halt. Sethran is too busy on weekends to drive to my house and I just don't drive anywhere. So... there you go. We'll most likely make Episode 50 our big finale. Until then, here's this show's notes:

News

  • Tweeter is closing 1/3 of its stores and... no one really seems to mind

  • Apple TV has been shipped... and licked (by Olivia Munson!)
  • Emma Watson (and the other 2 goobers) have officially signed contracts to finish Harry Potter movie series. Um... yeah?
  • Xbox Live was hacked - or was it? Social Engineering is apparently still viable!
  • Toshiba has announced a price drop on its HD DVD players - yeah!

Tech Toy

  • Bozric has picked up a shiny new 24" Intel iMac

Movie Review

  • Casino Royale - 007's latest romp, now available on DVD... and it's EXCELLENT!!!

 

I'm just happy to play here

We're back after a nice impromptu hiatus. We didn't really plan on taking six weeks between shows, it just didn't work out for us to actually get together long enough to record anything.

Anyway, here's the latest episode's notes:

News

  • Robert Adler, co-father of the wireless TV remote passed away this month. We salute you, Bob, for letting us all get fat and lazy!
    RIP Bobby!
  • Beer goggles have been scientifically proven to be true - TADA!
  • Bozric's found yet another useless USB gadget, the singing Rain Sensor
  • Vista's Speech Recognition could leave you vulnerable to a website actually TELLING your computer to delete your files
  • The Wii is having some intermittent problems with 480p output

Tech Toy

  • Sethran bought a Nintendo Wii - he really likes it... Bozric thought it was fun but probably won't be buying anytime soon

Movies

  • Lady in the Water - One of M. Night Shyamalan's better efforts. Seth & Boz both downloaded the HD version from Xbox Live
    Lady in the Water
  • Crank - Sethran enjoyed it more than Boz did
    Crank
Excuse me!

The MacWorld Cast

So we hit the high points of the keynote for MacWorld (if we have to explain it to you, you shouldn't be listening)

  1. Apple TV -- neat concept, we don't need it
  2. iPhone (not Linksys's) -- looks cool, too bad it's on Cingular and costs more than a Corvette
  3. New Airport Extreme -- it's fast, but not too fast
  4. More movies on iTunes, but we don't know from whom
  5. Axiotron makes the ModBook

Movie Review -- A Scanner Darkly
I thought it was cool, Bozric hated it but then proceded to watch it 3 times. Go figure.

It's like Mozart!

Our 40th show! We didn't make a big hullabaloo about it, so... here's the notes:

  • December 12th you'll be able to pre-order the long-awaited Optimus-103 Keyboard. Still no word on price or when it'll ship, but you can give the Russian developers money
  • The Wii came out today and there have already been 2 reported dead
  • The president of Universal says all iPod owners are thieves - and he wants a $1
  • RIAA, in yet another lawsuit, now has to justify their $750 per song fee
  • For only $30, you too can have your very own, very creepy Personal Pasta Singer
  • Our tech toy is the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player, available now
  • And our movie review for this show is Mission: Impossible III, which we both liked even though we both don't like Tom Cruise
    MI3 - Good even with Tom!

Oh - and we're giving a quick shout-out to Lockjaw for featuring us in his latest show, which can be found here: http://thepodcastjunkie.com/
