Episode 34: Not Very Cuil

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:40:31 -0700

Apple gets a Lame List nomination in this episode due to the NDA of its iPhone SDK, KWIM? And the (lack of) availability of the Wii Fit is lame enough to warrant multiple nominations.

Picks for this episode are both available on the iTunes Store: the Watchmen Motion Comics and Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

Topics for discussion include Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" and the "Google-killer" search engine, Cuil. Oh, and there are some diversions, such as American Gladiators, fake iPhone Apps, MobileMe and mai tais.

Episode 33: Copyright and wrong

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:57:22 -0700

The folks behind Adium lead this week's Lame List nominations, followed by Wikipedia, for reasons obvious and not-so-obvious.

Picks for this episode are music albums: one a non-commercial release from Rhymefest (for legal reasons) and the other a slightly more commercial album from a little band called Coldplay.

Topics for discussion include: Microsoft ends sales of Windows XP, Apple begins the MobileMe service (poorly) and the App Store opens for business.

Episode 32: What Would Developers Do?

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:16:12 -0700

Guest Josh Pigford from The Apple Blog drops by to discuss Apple's announcements at WWDC: the new iPhone, Snow Leopard, Steve Jobs' weight-loss program...

But first they make their Lame List nominations: The iPhone is coming to Mexico, so why isn't Noah excited about that? Can eBay actually get worse? What's the deal with bugs?

Picks this episode include the new B-52s album, a new way to play retro videogames and iPhone games that aren't just for the iPhone.

So will any of them actually buy an iPhone now?

Episode 31: Summer Wonders & Blunders

Sun, 1 Jun 2008 21:08:48 -0700

Ray from 2Pstart.com returns to debate the 2008 summer movie season with Eddie & Noah. You'll be SHOCKED to hear what they aren't looking forward to.

But first is the Lame List, featuring a summer movie that's already been released, a Nintendo accessory that isn't living up to its potential and perennial favorite Microsoft for Windows Se7en.

Picks for this episode include the 'Siskel & Ebert' of music podcasts, a music album that only Ray could recommend and the answer to the question 'Where does Eddie get his wonderful shirts?'

Episode 30: The New Forward

Sat, 24 May 2008 12:41:27 -0700

Backward is now the new forward, so things kick off with The Lame List. NBC is the target of ire this episode, for differing reasons.

Then Eddie and Noah both go back 10 years for their fruity picks.

News items discussed include the sellout of WWDC, rumors of the next generation iPhone and how well Blu-ray players are selling (not!). Does it relate to gas prices? Will anyone give a penny a day so Eddie can get an iPhone? Will college students pay back their loans?
