Episode 15
Our big Xbox 360 Spectacular! Both of us managed to acquire one of the uber-game consoles this past week. And, thanks to the magic that is Skype, you get to hear Sethran's play-by-play of his personal vendetta, er, travails to track down and then purchase the new gaming goodness. During this week's podcast, we manage to discuss the Xbox 360, a few other goodies and several games, including, but not limited to: All of that before my ISP went offline for a couple of hours.

Ain't technology grand?

We're back in my studio/office, so the sound levels are more "normal." Here's what's on tap this week:
  • An iTunes PSA (in case you don't listen to the show, there is a security flaw that affects both PC & Macs, expect an update from Apple soon... like any day now... really!)
  • WeaselBoy gets 6 years in prison to contemplate the true meaning of "WeaselBoy"
  • Barenaked on a Stick, a new album concept from Canada's Barenaked Ladies
  • Dell admits they are no competition for Apple's iPod and acknowledges other blatantly obvious facts
  • Match.com and Yahoo's dating service are both being sued for faking dates
  • I review the new DVD Madagascar
    Madagascar
  • iLounge.com has released their 2005-06 Holiday Buying Guide for all things iPod
Happy Thanksgiving!

We weren't sure we were going to have this episode - we had to record in a parking lot again this week and the sound levels were a bit dodgy for some reason. But Bozric was able to get the levels to a listenable...well, level. Regardless, we still talked about Sony's nasty little rootkit, Charlie Brown's pathetic Christmas tree, GeekGorgeous.com, OneRedPaperClip.com and the new DVD, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Enjoy!

This week, we find ourselves discussing the following news items:
  • Xbox360 and its (supposed) compatibility with your iPod
  • Sony's new software that makes it easier for you to transfer media to your PSP - if you've got the cash to download it
  • the Telecommuter Tax Act, is the government going to double-dip in your income?
  • Netflix's settlement on their class-action lawsuit (http://netflixsettlementsucks.com/)

Our tech toy this week is a preview of the impending Xbox 360, due on shelves of your favorite retailers November 22nd, provided they've made enough.

And our DVD this week is the just released Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

The Big XI. Number 11. Elf. Still going...

So, we give you Episode 11. Go ahead. Take it. You know you want it.

During this show, we talk about a TV network going against the norm and actually embracing the internet to distribute their content, Star Wars TV, the final release of .NET Framework 2.0 and remote controlled humans. Then we discuss the tres-chic Johnny AppleSandals, our impressions of the new 5th Gen iPods, and Boz gives his 2 Lincolns on Kicking & Screaming, Will Ferrel's recently released DVD.

All wrapped up in a neat little, less-than-20-minutes, easy-to-transport package.

Hey, what more could you want for free?

Hey, hey, hey! Look who's got 10 episodes completed! Why, it seems like only yesterday we were trying to figure out how... er... sorry. Needless trip down memory lane there.

Anyway, this week Sethran's sporting a slightly deeper voice, thanks to a head cold. And even though he thinks he's Hollywood's new movie announcer guy, we still manage to discuss all of the following:
Whoops, Sethran can count to seis!

We're baaack! All of the trips have been completed and we're delivering our first full new episode in almost, what - 2 weeks?!? Well, since it's been a while, this week's edition is a tad longer, weighing in at 1 second under 30 minutes, but it's another live session - so it's a good thirty minutes.

What's in store, you ask? Let's see, we talk about:
Grab a cup of (insert beverage of choice here), sit back and enjoy!

The Butler says, "It's free!"

Hey Everybody - Bozric here. Just wanted to let you all know that both myself and Sethran are back from our little trips abroad. We're currently working on our next episode, which I know you're all eagerly awaiting.

In the meantime, we've added a few other subscription services - on the odd chance you don't use and/or like iTunes. I've listed them below (in no particular order), but the Subscribe Chiclets will always be available in the right-hand column:

Right then. Expect our next exciting episode soon!

As mentioned, no Brothers Green today. So you get Episode 02 of my news snippets. Sorry about the levels on the last one. This one should be better but more "raw" as it is a One-Take episode. Stuff covered: Google wants to blanket San Fransisco in Wi-fi and ads, Arnold cracks down on phishers, Disneys jumps on the MP3 bandwagon, patches from Mozilla & Real, and much, much more.
Enjoy!

Ok, so Boz is out of town on a little family trip so I decided I'd do a little something without him. So, to make it simple, it's just the news for today. Short and sweet. I'm planning on doing a few more of these type things to introduce a little content throughout the week. Hope the mix isn't too bad (Boz usually handles that part).

 

Peace.

LIVE! Once again. This time in the parking lot of Bozric's office. Shhh...don't tell them. The upside to being there? No mall security.

This week we start with some updates; including, but not limited to, iTunes, .Mac, Firefox & Opera. Coincidentally, Opera 8.5 is also our review of the week - It's now Ad Free and Plain Old Free. Next on the agenda is News: Dell announces the next "iPod Shuffle Killer" (please note the Quotes, indicating our biting sarcasm) and the international version of the RIAA wants to eradicate all copyrighted material and P2P software from your computer. Finally, we wrap with a brief, albeit insightful, review of the new live action DVD, Fat Albert.

So, strap on some headphones, kick your shoes off and let us take you for a ride through technology for the next 20 minutes.

P.S. Bozric mentions John Cage and his "song" - however, he refers to it as 4:34, when, in point of fact, the song title is actually 4:33. Hopefully, you'll be able to overlook this slight error and enjoy this week's show. If not, flame Boz!

Another experiment with our recordings - this week live in a mall parking lot! Who says we aren't thrill seekers? So, for Episode VII, we talk about Ebay's acquisition of Skype, our brand new Nanos (and in turn Boz's great[?] deal on shipping), the "Forever Flashlight" - all ya gotta do is shake vigorously - and we wrap with our views on Matthew McConaughey's latest flex-fest, Sahara. Where else can you get this much news and infotainment all while eluding mall security?

How about that? We've got 6 episodes under our belt. And while there are definitely things we are working on (like a solution to being able to record live on the go) we are starting to establish a format. So today we discuss Apple's announcements of the week (like every other news site), exploding chocolates, Godzilla eggs, an 85 pound energy source for your iPod and we give our thoughts on yet another hollywood rehash, Guess Who. Enjoy!

So, this week we try something a little different. Bozric and I are in the same room when we record the episode. And after several false starts, we manage to get one in the can. So, for your listening pleasure (or pain), we discuss DVD John's latest attempt to piss off a big company, the infamous "Subway Wanker", review the painful movie XXX: State of the Union and Boz reviews Logitech's Harmony remote. All while trying not to actually make eye contact with the other person.

Fünf if you're German!

Our "super special" VOIP Shoot-Out episode! We review five different programs that all do... um.. pretty much the same thing - let you talk to someone, computer to computer, via the internet. Up on our dais of dissection we gladly give you, in no particular order:

And we couldn't let a week go by without some type of movie review. This week, we discuss the finer points of Black Belt Theatre with the film Kung Fu Hustle, available now at your favorite DVD retailer. Our blatant product plug for this DVD can be found here:

Well, yet another week and no "podcast" to speak of... what we do have is available for listening - at your own risk! We were trying out a few different options for recording an audio session and hit a few snags. Some of them were software issues, mostly we had a hardware problem - my laptop! It kept overheating and just turning off, no warning, no error messages, just ... *poof* it's off.

We do have an amusing (to us) recording of Sethran talking while my system died and then you hear his phone ring while he is still talking. The audio clip ends with him saying, "Why are you calling me?!?"

Good times... good times...
