Buzz Out Loud Video (SD)

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1101: LHC-gull kills science with bread

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:21:03 PST

Apparently the Large Hadron Collider is doomed. It can't even survive a bread bombing by birds. The Droid arrived on the scene though, and people actually lined up. However tethering is gonna cost you on the thing. Are you still in love? And Gwen Stefani doesn't like you making her sing Honky Tonk Women.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1100: The Internet is a human right... in Europe

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:56:55 PST

The European Commission has decided that every citizen has a right to the Internet but still made it fairly easy for the media industry to cut it off. We also see that Intel is in hot water again. And we ask that perennial question, why can't I own a Canadian. And Google answers.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1099: Secret ACTA treaty could break the Internet

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:51:47 PST

Leaks from the secret negotiations of the ACTA treaty allege that ISPs worldwide would be required to lose safe harbor protections, implement three-strike anti-piracy policies and worse. We think this is outrageous. AT&T thinks Verizon is outrageous for their commercials and they're taking them to court. Also EMI finally got around to suing BlueBeat.com for selling Beatles tracks online. But you can buy a Beatles USB stick for $280. So you got that going for you.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1098: Find TuPac and Elvis in Argleton

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:41:53 PST

The mystical city of Argleton in the U.K. appears on Google Maps, but presents a face of green empty fields to people in person. What is it hiding? Druids? Wizards? Copyright protection? We also discuss the hot new Xperia X10 and the less hot Droid Exchange data plan. Also, we can tell you when to watch Cougar Town on Hulu. We never stop our attempts to serve your every need.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1097: Beatles bargain basement blowout!

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:21:24 PST

BlueBeat.com, the best MP3-selling Web site you've never heard of, has got the entire Beatles catalog in MP3 for just 25 cents each! Get them while you can (which won't be long). In other news, file sharers might buy more music, BitTorrent might save the Internet, and Apple could save the networks (but kill cable).

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1096: Unzipping your genes

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:19:17 PDT

Turns out those terrahertz scanners in the airports are mostly safe, but they do a little unzipping of your DNA. Derek says it's nothing to worry about. You won't grow a third arm in the airport. Even if it would be handy in carrying baggage. We also find out email isn't private. Did we need the courts to tel us that? And Facebook gets $711 million it will never see.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1095: The phrase that pays from Amazon

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:23:44 PDT

Amazon's trying to compete with PayPal with a new service that brings one-click shopping into the rest of the non-Amazon world. We also kick around a rumor of Netflix coming to the Wii and discuss Google and Yahoo music searches. Oh and then Cooley and I get deep about business models and copyright. That's near the end though. If you don't like lectures.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1094: Crushing on the Droid

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:15:24 PDT

Rafe Needleman is drawn in to a love story with the new Motorola Droid. Dare we call it a Dro-mance? It's certainly a flashy new phone for Verizon, which hasn't always been known for flashy new phones. We also congratulate Google on getting the contract to provide e-mail to the city of Los Angeles. Well, congratulations and we fear for them. Because if they mess this up, it is so over.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1093: eBook Mania

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:33:02 PDT

MySpace and Facebook are hooking up? In a way. Maybe. But the real meat of the news today is all the e-book hype. Barnes and Noble will sell the Que, Bridgestone has a color one coming out, and Barnes and Noble may not always have its own Nook eReader. But does anyone want them?

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1092: The slippery Slate

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:18:09 PDT

Bill Keller from the New York Times let slip he's been working on a version of the New York Times for the Apple Slate. Great! What the hell is the Apple Slate? well obviously it's a much-rumored Apple Tablet. We also discuss T-Mobile's unlimited plans and hope against all hopes that they are truly unlimited.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1091: The French Disconnection

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:50:08 PDT

So the French have passed a three strikes law that will disconnect your Internet if accused three times of piracy. At least there's some judicial review. Also John McCain moves against Net Neutrality and Windows 7 seems to truly be good news for Microsoft.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1090: Screw Win 7 time to hype Windows 8

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:57:08 PDT

OK yeah we talk about Windows 7 and it's lovefest but it's so over. Time to get into the rumour mill again for the Windows 8 release. Why is Microsoft being so quiet about it?! We also cover the unnatural marriage of Verizon and Google over Net Neutrality. And Craigslist is not a pimp according to the law.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1089: Net neutrality double rant

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:13:16 PDT

Molly and I go off on the Net neutrality debate, not so much about what the meaning of it is, but why you shouldn't use lies to defend your position. We also discuss the attractiveness of the Nook from Barnes and Noble and Molly and Rafe have a BlackBerry fight. About the phones. Not the fruit.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1088: RAID your brain server

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:37:56 PDT

New technology allows organic brain cells to control robots leading us to conclude that eventually we'll all be brains in a data center. Also Apple announces a bunch of updates to their computer line as well as a new magic mouse. And the PS3 is now the King of the console hill. Who saw that coming?

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1087: Google's leaky cloud

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:09:52 PDT

Have a Google Voice account? Have some voice mails in there? I may have listened to them today! Thanks to some leaks in the Google cloud (rain?), it seems some folks voice mails are searchable on Google. Glad that eye appointment went well! Also Verizon and Motorola are bringing it to the iPhone. But will Verizon have to make a switch next year if the rumors are true?

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1086: Beating a dead parse

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:30:56 PDT

Mozilla is upset about the browser ballot screen because it's alphabetical, left to right, by manufacturer. That means Apple gets the prime spot. We think that's parsing the screen too closely. So we decide to parse it even more! And we also reinvent battery technology and solve America's Internet problems. And can you believe it? We even do more. It's true.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1085: Amazon, I need a refill

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:35:18 PDT

Amazon announced same-day delivery for certain areas today, although we're not sure if you can buy wines by the glass. We also cover the BlackBerry Storm and Motorola Cliq announcements. Guess which one we like better? And the Danger Sidekick tale continues.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1084: TI don't be a 8008

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:58:59 PDT

Calculator hackers have figured out how to run independent OS's on TI calculators. Unfortunately TI wants to stop them. Why? We have no idea. Also we play fast and loose with physics when discussing black holes and Higgs Bosons. We also totally redefined the word mint. In a bad way unfortunately.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1083: MP3 is a lie

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:44:04 PDT

Yes, Nokia launched a new Netbook, and yes, Twitter fought the law and won. But it wasn't until the end of today's show that we finally get to the bottom of a long-running controversy. MP3s don't do what they promise. Jason and Brian explain why.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1082: Just another outage Monday

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:13:45 PDT

First, apologies for the song that will be stuck in your head for at least a week. Blame the chat room. In the news today, the T-Mobile Sidekick outage, the ongoing Facebook outage, the IBM outage that briefly crippled Air New Zealand, and the unbelievable failure that is the PSP Go launch. It's a fun show.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1081: Rafe's last day on Comcast

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:40:21 PDT

Rafe wonders what could possibly go wrong with Comcast monitoring its users to protect them from malware. In the process, Rafe makes a few comments that have us wondering whether he'll return home to any internet at all. Barnes and Noble is rumored to be rolling out an Android E-book reader while Steve Ballmer claims that the PC is the best E-book reader.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1080: Blow up the moon

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:24:57 PDT

NASA is sending a rocket into the moon Friday morning in order to study the composition of lunar material. But really, you stopped listening when you heard "blow up the moon." And so did Cooley. Which for one small second, made him love space. We also talk about the world's largest phishing sting and Windows 8. Yep. 8.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1079: Bing is still pooping his diapers

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:34:28 PDT

There's a little panic over the fact that Bing's marketshare dropped last month, but you have to remember folks, Bing is young. Rafe puts it in perspective for us. Also Kindle gets a price cut and goes worldwide, yo. That's big. What is also big is the keylogger network that's hijacking everyone's web mail accounts. We can help you out with that a bit.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1078: Smokinger gun

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:34:11 PDT

Viacom may have found a smoking gun in their billion-dollar case against YouTube, but on the other hand, we speculate YouTube may have a smokinger gun. Also the FTC wants you disclose all that money you've been paid to blog about cleaning products. Or whatever. Even if you just posted on Facebook. You need to make yourself aware of these rules.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1077: Analysts: Cyberproving the obvious

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:55:10 PDT

An analyst from Morgan Stanley asserts that Apple would sell more iPhones if it offered the phone on more carriers. Really? Wow. We also have an example of a church leader misusing the prefix "cyber." But that's not as crazy as IBM taking on Google. Or is it?

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1076: You got served, through Twitter

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 01:06:11 PDT

In the UK you don't have to be in the presence of someone to serve them with legal papers. So now Twitter has become a way to get served. We also are happy that the US government is taking cybersecurity seriously but maybe they could lay off with the cyber prefix a little. And we try to care more about the Palm Pixi. We really do.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1075: One laptop per felon

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:01:08 PDT

Or perhaps we should call it OLPC. One laptop per criminal. But the idea of letting prisoners use computers is good, but fraught with peril. Also we start a new PSA campaign where Billy learns that email can be dangerous. And that's one to grow on.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1074: Forget the tablet, let's hype the Courier

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:27:42 PDT

While the Apple Tablet is much more fashionable to hype, the Microsoft Courier turns out to be very hype-worthy. We also find out once again that Rafe knows where he works. And the US has relaxed its grip on the Internet. Good thing? Bad thing? Irrelevant thing? Or over hyped like an Apple tablet.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1073: Open Android Alliance to fight Google's evil empire

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:18:47 PDT

A Google Android mod received a cease and desist for including Google apps in the mod. Seriously? Google may not be a walled garden with a high wall but it's a walled garden nonetheless. And it's pretty sad when your open source project gets protested for not being open. We also discuss whether the Dell Latitude Z series is for posers. Or us. Or both. Which makes us posers. Own it people.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1072: Mustache-twirling jerks at AT&T

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:05:23 PDT

As AT&T tries to accuse Google of violating Net neutrality, Molly wonders if the company really just wants to be seen as a villain. Also, while you should never call anything unhackable, the Netbooks being given to students in Australia are pretty tight. Physical-layer BIOS protection is unusual in an educational situation like that. And we also get a little frustrated with people who don't listen. So please. Listen. Thanks.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1071: Falling off the hype cycle

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 06:15:07 PDT

Twitter trades hype for a huge cash infusion, Windows 7 attempts to create hype with a spectacularly awfsome video, and we cover all the hype falling out of the Demo conference. Speaking of falling, Honda's new Segway-style unicycle looks amazingly easy to fall off of.

Buzz Out Loud: BOL 1070: Windows 7 cuddle party

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:05:43 PDT

Microsoft shows "Pink" (sort of); MMS disaster, er, feature about to launch on iPhone; Wii gets a price cut; Archos' new Windows 7 tablet looks great--too bad nobody will notice; and MIT has a synthetic eyeball on the way that amazes us. Oh yeah...and about that cuddle party...
