Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1161: Molly Wood is definitely back on BOL. Definitely.

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:36:03 PST

Today's BOL ushers in the dawn of...a new drinking game! Whenever you hear us say "definitely" on today's show--and it's going to be often--take a swig. Also, we Monday-morning quarterback the Super Bowl ads and explore the many reasons people don't want to buy an iPad. Oh, and my Droid is definitely crashy (drink!)--Molly.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1160: Books, lies, and death

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:55:49 PST

We cover Amazon's capitulation to another publisher, and Google's book deal comes under assault from the Department of Justice. Jeff Zucker appears to lie to Congress and Sling implies AT&T lied about their app. And the $9.99 eBook is declared dead by Gizmodo and Rafe declares eInk dead. Just another day on the Internet.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1159: 1159: Wear clean underpants on the Internet

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:01:18 PST

We discover that the Internet is just as dangerous as outside, which means you need to wear clean underwear. Natali also invents the IPADBJ?RN for all you iPad-wanters who need to use it hands-free. And we declare Donald Bell Emperor Pimp of portable entertainment devices.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1158: Android has been sporked

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:39:09 PST

Nexus One gets multitouch but the rest of the Android universe is left out in the cold. Plus, Motorola's not using the "Droid" name for its upcoming Android phones. What's going on here? Plus, we revel in the intellectual awesomeness of imagining Windows 7 running on an iPad (even in virtual mode). --Molly

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1157: Fighting trolls is like fighting ghosts

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:14:24 PST

On the Internet, the only thing harder to fight than frivolous copyright infringement accusations is comment trolls. Nevertheless, we're all going to give it our best shots. In other news, Woz hacks its Prius, the Internet comes up with wishful-thinking rumors to turn the iPad into the thing we all wanted it to be, and we just cannot get excited about the Nexus One on AT&T. Or the JooJoo tablet. --Molly

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1156: Tweet to the handbag

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:27:34 PST

On today's show, Amazon gets called out on price-fixing, even though Macmillan wants to charge too much for e-books. AT&T redefines "unlimited," and Microsoft is redefining the bar code, Apple got the fake Flash out of its iPad ads, and big news! Jason had his baby, and Molly's coming back to Buzz Out Loud full time as of next week. Yeah, you read that right. Not a punk. See you Wednesday! -- Molly

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1155: Fujitsu threatens to sue over stupid iPad name

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 12:23:50 PST

While every woman on Earth universally thinks the name iPad is stupid, Fujitsu still wants to own it. We'll tell you about the Fujitsu iPad which has existed since 2002 and why Apple thinks they can still own the name anyway. We also look at the MSI tablet which may be much better than iPad. But will you buy it? And we hear from a man who is drunk and frozen in Maine.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1154: How much is that moon trip in Microsoft points?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:04:25 PST

Yes of course we rehash the Apple iPad. We find out how to pronounce it properly in Boston. And we determine that it is the fundamental problem with democracy. But there is other news. Including a class action suit against Microsoft over their points system on Xbox and Zune. And President Obama wants to kill the moon program for now.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1153: iPad? Yes. Apple named it iPad.

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 03:25:06 PST

We record right after Steve Jobs finished his 90-minute announcement of the Apple iPad, the company's new tablet computer. It's variably impressive depending on who you are, but will anyone buy it? We discuss. Also it's over for the Mars rover Spirit. At least the roving part is over. But it's still alive and doing science.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1152: Hacks on a plane

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:44:00 PST

The FAA has asked Boeing to prove it's new connected airplane isn't so connected it can connect hackers. We also discuss why folks think women aren't as good at math when all the women we know are great at math. And we hash over some Apple tablet rumors. I mean how could we not. We also have special guest host Clayton Morris from Fox News, AND Ryan Shrout from PC Perspective.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1151: NASA, park the shuttle on blocks

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:34:38 PST

Among the news of China picking a fight with the U.S. over Google, and Jammie Thomas getting her fine reduced, there's a goldmine idea for NASA. Gene wrote in to explain that instead of selling off the shuttles, they can just leave them parked at the space station. And we took it further with some suggestions of how and where to park them and what to do with them afterward.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1150: Up the creek without a Bible

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:58:03 PST

The FCC is coming for the schools and churches just like that crazy guy on the corner told you! June 12 they'll require anybody using a wireless microphone that operators in the 700 MHZ spectrum, to stop using that mic. That's right. the purge is coming! For microphones! Actually it'll affect Broadway shows too. Will the FCC be able to round up the ne'er-do-wells? Will Google ruin US-China relations? Well that's another story. Literally.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1149: Secretary of State Clinton plans to free the Internet

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:39:31 PST

We had the pleasure of chatting with Jared Cohen, Senior Adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today. He gave us some more insight into Clinton's speech about the freedom on the Internet, specifically relating to China. We also clarify that Verizon is not booting people off the Internet--but apparently Cox is. So take all that stuff we wrote yesterday about Verizon and just put Cox in there.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1148: Verizon cuts off alleged illegal downloaders

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:53:33 PST

Breaking news during the show has Verizon admitting to cutting off the Internet access of people accused of illegal downloading. But hey, they don't throttle,they say. Great! Except for cutting off people is really an extreme from of throttling. And also, Verizon isn't getting proof for this, just accusations. The problems with this policy are immeasurable and we discuss them. Oh and Bing may oust Google on the iPhone.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1147: Mint Fried Quicken (sarcmark!)

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 01:42:40 PST

While Apple has officially announced an announcement, we don't know what it is. So we speculate anyway. Sue us. Will you pay $2 for a new character that indicates sarcasm? Most of us won't, either. We also discuss the meaning of privacy in search engines and Quicken hides it's online service behind Mint, which oddly makes Natali hungry.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1145: Fighting firewalls with firewall

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:55:09 PST

The Google China drama continues with some startling revelations about an Internet Explorer 6 vulnerability. And Tim from Kansas has an intriguing suggestion for how Google could reverse the Chinese firewall to get back at them. We also witness the dominance of the Nintendo Wii and the cheapening of some of Verizon's plans.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1145: China to Google: Suck it

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:51:55 PST

The Google-China drama continues as China makes a veiled response that only law-abiding companies are welcome in the People's Republic. More information came out indicating the Gmail hacking was done by the government in China. This isn't over folks. We'll keep on it. But there is other news. Apple lawyers strike back over tablet rumors, and app stores are all pretty much the same.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1144: What's Google really doing in China?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:04:56 PST

Because of some Gmail attacks, Google has said it will remove its filters and possibly pull out of China altogether. There's definitely a lot more going on behind the scenes of this than we know. But we try to get to the heart of the matter as the nation of China negotiates with the nation of Google. We also discuss Facebook's requirement that you scan your hard drive to reactivate a hacked account and look forward to Martians coming this year. Yay for Martians!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1143: Google is sorry... you feel that way?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:19:36 PST

Google apologized to China for miscommunication over their scanning of books. But that didn't stop them from scanning the books. Or even get them to apologize for scanning the books. Also Microsoft Word is no longer sold, at least for a brief period of time. And the Apple rumors are ramping up.

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 01:48:29 PST

We discuss the winners of this year's Best of CES awards, and make our very own picks as well. But the most important news of the day has to be the whole Facebook bra color meme. What... Is it something I said?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 12:00:03 PST

A new technology from Zyxio allows you to control your PC by breathing. Obviously this is good for accessibility, but it also could mean good and bad news for gamers. We'll discuss. We also rundown the latest news from CES including the Intel keynote. And we talk with the winner of the apps for innovation contest about his website that makes it easy for you to find out what the government is about to do to you and gives you a chance to make a comment.

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:18:09 PST

You'll know we're recording this episode from the stage before the show has actually begun because of the number of loud machinery crunching away in the background as vendors ready their booths. In the meantime, we cover Google's official introduction of the Nexus One, a 3D network arriving on your TV, and Microsoft's tablet computer. You heard me right. Microsoft.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1138: Good luck with that Bono

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:07:39 PST

So Bono has been listening to his manager and soaking up the ideas that the Internet needs to be locked down before it ruins the video industry. This self-less act of Cassandra-like prophesying involves talking about how great the US is at stopping child porn and the Chinese are at stopping anything they don't like. We point out a few holes in theory there. Also Google is doing everything. Seriously, if you even think fleetingly Google might do something apparently they are.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1136: Predictions Results for 2009

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:00:01 PST

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:33:02 PST

Verizon explains their early termination fee reasoning. It turns out they're just trying to help the poor. You see when they charge these outrageous fees, it SAVES poor people money on their phones. At least as long as they don't mind being locked into a contract for years. We also Rage against the Rage Against the Machine number one non-Christmas song.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1129: Is Google finally too big?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:26:30 PST

Google is in talks to buy Yelp and it may finally be pushing the line over what's too big. Sure a lot of you thought it was too big already. But now it's just getting ridiculous. Although I didn't like that they lost their court case in France over indexing books. We also touch on the Twitter hijacking and new 3D Blu-ray standards.

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1128: Should Google make their own netbook?

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:33:02 PST

Rumors are that next year Google will add a netbook to its phone and possibly begin a line of consumer electronics. Is that a good thing for them? We kick around that old football. Also Patrick from France joins us with his distinctly European perspective and we refrain from insulting each other for once. It's a brave new world!

Buzz Out Loud: Ep. 1127: Microsoft and EU browser roulette begins

bol@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:43:02 PST

So the EU and Microsoft have finally settled their differences and will begin the browser ballot with no less than 12 browsers to choose from. Is this a good thing? Also Intel is now under the gun from the US FTC. What did they do this time? Listen to find out. And Cherrypal is selling a $99 laptop they bill as slow and sufficient. Nice.
