Buzz Out Loud Ep. 1299: Apple iPod announcement shuffles the buttons (Podcast)

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:02:36 PDT

Steve Jobs revealed today three new iPods, including a Shuffle with buttons, a Nano that can double as a wristwatch (we think) and a razor-sharp iPod Touch. Also: Sony and Amazon have media news of their own, and Zuckerberg wants his privacy.

Buzz Out Loud 1298: Forking tired of Android forks

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:53:38 PDT

On today's show, Google does us a solid in the ham-filtering department, we wonder whether Paul Allen might have waited too long to sue the Internet, or whether this is just the beginning, and we speculate whether seven inches is, in fact, the perfect size after all. Plus, Internet vigilantes on the loose! --Molly

Buzz Out Loud: BOL Ep. 1297: Facebook wants to own your face

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:29:57 PDT

We're back from our BOL summer vacation, only to find that Paul Allen is trying to patent-troll the Internet out of existence, Netflix seems to have finally put BlockBuster out of existence, and Foursquare ain't going down without a fight. Oh, and Donald Bell gives us his predictions for Apple's Sept. 1 event. --Molly

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:01:00 PDT

You say Flashback, I say Unicorn of Rock! Go!

Buzz Out Loud: FLASHBACK! Ep. 1223: We'll be watching you

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 01:01:00 PDT

This flashback was selected simply because of the song.

Buzz Out Loud: FLASHBACK! Ep. 1207: Dropping the EFF bomb on the RIAA and MPAA

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:01:00 PDT

This flashback was chosen based on the description in the Buzz Out Loud wiki... "The Best Molly/MerritRant in Forever or Just In a Long Time." That's good enough for me!

Buzz Out Loud: FLASHBACK! Ep. 1137: Tech predictions for 2010

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:01:00 PDT

This is a flashback to our 2010 predictions. Being that we are now more than half way through the year, let's see just how awesomely (or not) we are doing with our predictions!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1296: Booty type coming to a PSP near you

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:33:08 PDT

In PlayStation news this week, the PS3 may be jailbreakable via USB dongle, until Sony breaks down your door and takes your PS3 straight out the door. Also, touch-controls on the back of the PSP may be nigh, we show you the 53 steps it takes to turn off Facebook Places, and Apple tries to climb in your window and snatch your jailbroken iOS device up. See you all in a week!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1295: Facebook Places knows when you miss the bus

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:59:33 PDT

On today's show, how future generations will know all too well where they were conceived, thanks to Facebook Places--and yes, it's opt-out and lets your friends check you in, but somehow, I can still find a way to love it. Plus, Intel buys McAfee, Verizon's bringing TV to your iPad (in bed), and Windows 7 is killing it!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1294: Web: there's an app for that

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:34:55 PDT

Turns out the Web is dead. Nope, sorry, Chris Anderson from Wired said so, and that's just the way it is. Nevertheless, we discuss. Also, the Chrome OS is about to hit the tablet world like a meteor, you're only getting half the broadband you're paying for, and Microsoft Flight Simulator is back! Darren and Rafe are so excited! Molly and Jason are also here!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1293: 3-D has arrived!

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:29:01 PDT

It's long-accepted wisdom in the tech world that when the porn industry adopts a technology, that technology has arrived. Sadly for all of us, that day has arrived for 3-D. No, seriously. 3-D porn. Soft-core, thank goodness. Also, how HBO is trying to Benjamin us to death, why Windows Phone 7 might turn out to be cool after all, and the RIAA trying to force FM radios into all cell phones. No, really!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1292: You're a Koobface

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:41:37 PDT

Happy 15th birthday to Internet Explorer and AT&T says Net neutrality is indeed onerous and it's all for Verizon and Google's proposal (um, duh). The Facebook "dislike" button finally launches, but it's a scam; WiFi-sniffing aerial drones are the new black, and we celebrate 50 years of broadcasting to the world the following: "looking for a good planet to plunder? Call Earth."

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1291: The Playboy app: It's just for the articles

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:16:25 PDT

On today's show, you can finally tell people that you read Playboy for the articles...and have it be the truth! At least if you shell out $5 for the Playboy iPad app. Also, Oracle sues Google over Android, and it doesn't look good for Google. Plus, the brewing Apple versus BBC cage match. Our prediction: Apple wins. Apple always wins.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1290: Android says, Talk to me, baby

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:10:23 PDT

Google launches new voice control for Android. Apple breaks over-the-air Jailbreaking. Spock's coffin has us spinning in our graves. And also, Rafe needs a new TV. Yeah, it's kind of a slow news day.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1289: Facebook's momentary lapse of evil

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:55:20 PDT

The social network stands up to Googlezon's Net neutrality proposal, and meanwhile plots Foursquare's demise. Also FarmVille pulling up stakes at MSN, and your car's tire pressure sensors can be hacked by drive-bys. Everybody panic!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1288: QWERTY booty and the end of the Internet

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:01:37 PDT

On today's show, we invent a new kind of typing (booty type, QWERTY booty, that kind of thing), and look ahead to the end of the Internet as we know it. Plus, do ethics trump shareholder rights? The Mark Hurd HP scandal rolls on.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1287: Giant angry Earth fart

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:18:41 PDT

On today's show, we've discovered the secret of the Bermuda Triangle--well, some scientists discovered it. We just call it a giant angry Earth fart, like the one that's apparently going to destroy us all. Oh, and also, soft-core porn, falsified expense reports, and a vengeful board. It's the HP way!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1286: The Pentagon wants its stuff back

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:12:41 PDT

The big fight between the Pentagon and Wikileaks has gotten to the high school breakup stage: the Pentagon wants Wikileaks to put its mix tapes, photos, and t-shirts in a shoebox and mail them back. Also, another rousing argument on Net neutrality, this time with Brian Cooley's uniquely capitalist viewpoint in the mix. Good times.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1285: You can't handle the tech

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:37:09 PDT

On today's show, a rousing discussion on the future of Net neutrality, whether you can handle the truth that is the forthcoming technological revolution, and whether glass-bottomed buses are going to start an upskirting revolution in China. (Ok, actually, that last is about the cleverest little traffic congestion solution ever.)

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1284: Superman is faster than a foreclosing bank

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:25:27 PDT

On today's show, Intel's FTC antitrust settlement, Darren Kitchen explains the iOS vulnerability that makes all your devices belong to PDF, and the feds admit they're storing some of your checkpoint body scan images ... for ... some reason. Yuck. Also, Facebook for Android finally comes into the modern age. Phew.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1283: Lying liars and the phones they sell us

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:21:51 PDT

On today's show, Verizon tries to claim the Motorola Droid doesn't have the hardware to support hot spot tethering with Andriod 2.2 (Froyo). And here's the thing: that's a lie. In other news, the BlackBerry Torch hits, Rdio lands, and the FBI is cracking down on coloring books, or something. I'm a tiny bit incoherent today.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1282: Think globally, store locally

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:57:45 PDT

It's our annual scare-the-bejesus out of ourselves episode, wherein we discuss all of the scary things that were announced and demonstrated at DefCon this year. Seriously, DefCon is way past phone phreaking and seriously into national security right now. Yikes. Also, new Apple jailbreaks are available, the BlackBerry doesn't pass Middle Eastern muster, and we've got the ultimate solution to Internet privacy concerns: data locavores.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1281: Microsoft gets serious about tablets. Again.

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:54:27 PDT

Steve Ballmer admits Apple knows a thing or two about tablets. The U.K. government says it's sticking with IE 6 despite the entire world saying it's full of security holes. And the U.S. Congress, realizing it's out of money, wants to bring Internet gambling back to the U.S. so it can be taxed.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1280: New Kindle undercuts iPad by $360

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:05:08 PDT

Why buy a $499 device to read books when Amazon's new Kindle will do it for $139? We debate. Also, Facebook building a font of all knowledge with Questions. Plus: How to hack ATMs.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1279: Seven keys to rule us all

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:50:38 PDT

If the Internet breaks, the Tribe of Seven's secret library cards will re-start it. Also: Running your fingers through Princess Leia's hair... mmmm. And: Toss your zombie cookies now! Special guest: Dr. Kiki!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1278: Pad, mouse, or nubbin?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:46:37 PDT

Who knew -- Apple still makes computers, and today launched a bunch of new ones, plus a ginormous desktop trackpad to go with them. Also: The robot that will make you breakfast. Eventually.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1277: You can hack DMCA. Legally.

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:09:13 PDT

The U.S. copyright office now says that there are instances in which you may hack, fold, spindle, or mutilate copy protection, but just a few, and don't go breaking any other contracts while you're at it. Also, Microsoft wants its employees to build Windows 7 phone apps... for free!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1276: Molly moves to Comic-Con

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:33:07 PDT

BOL co-founder Molly Wood discovers "her people" in San Diego. Also, we're actually talking about white iPhones. How'd that happen? And Mama's taking our Kodachrome away.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1275: Now with less Fail-whale-iness

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:46:16 PDT

Good news, everyone! Twitter's getting its own servers and Skype will now run in the background on an iPhone. But beware: The IPocalypse is nigh, Apple now has more software insecurity flaws than anyone, and robots can now move faster than you can blink.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1274: Facebook welcomes 500th user

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:09:21 PDT

500 millionth, actually...but one of the press kits had an embarrassing typo in it. Also, everybody who makes slates is dropping Windows (except HP), we now have lasers shooting down airplanes, and a flashlight for the iPhone is actually a secret tethering app.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1273: A little bit of the old UltraViolet

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:57:10 PDT

Another decade, another attempt at an almost certainly ill-fated universal DRM scheme. Hooray! This time, it's UltraViolet, and no, Disney (meaning Apple) isn't on board. Also, new details on how Google and China reached their license renewal deal. Upshot: diplomacy in action. And Apple is closing in on surpassing Microsoft in actual revenue. Yowsa.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1272: Interests: being hot

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:34:28 PDT

It's another Monday on BOL, which means breaking news interjections, stumbling analysis, and hilarious Brian Tong jokes that go RIGHT over Molly's head. Turns out you can not actually search for girlfriends on Facebook using the search term, "hot girls." Unless, of course, they self-identify. Plus, a pain ray update!
