The 404: Ep. 514: Where Justin lost $1,000 in the Super Bowl

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:39:24 PST

Wilson might be the only host on The 404 who watched the entire big game on Sunday, so we don't spend too much time talking about the actual game and instead stick to the commercials. Ads this year included Google's first Super Bowl ad. Also, HomeAway revitalized the Griswold family from National Lampoon's "Vacation,",\ and Motorola aired a commercial with Megan Fox selling something...we just don't remember what it is.

The 404: Ep. 513: Where we did not put that sticker there

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:29:16 PST

If you've ever petitioned Facebook to add a "Dislike" button to the site, you might get a kick out of a new antisocial networking site that lets your friends anonymously rag on you from the privacy of their homes. Failin.gs is currently in beta, but soon you'll be able to hit your friends up for anonymous comments about your mundane status updates. No, it doesn't integrate with Facebook itself (thankfully), but hopefully it'll force you to think twice about telling everyone what you had for dinner last night.

The 404: Ep. 512: Where we don't sweat the small stuff

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:55:55 PST

We kick off today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast with a fun story about the Nestle Crunch Hotline number. The company's latest viral campaign offers a series of hidden menus within the prerecorded call center that lets callers choose between English, Spanish, and Pig Latin language options.

The 404: Ep. 511: Where the more you ignore us, the closer we get

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:47:27 PST

All the recent frenzy over the Apple iPad might be too much for the tech nerds of the world to handle. Tuesday, Josh Topolsky of Engadget reported on a disturbingly high volume of "ugly, pointless, and frankly threatening" comments on the Web site and took action by indefinitely closing all comments on the blog. We appreciate Josh's wake-up call, although vocalizing one's opinion through anonymous blog comments is just another extension of the Internet.

The 404: Ep. 510: Where we beat up Punxsutawney Phil and smash his freaking cell phone

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 03:15:32 PST

2010 started off on a positive note: an amazing CES visit, an uplifting State of the Union Address, and an entertaining Grammy Award show. Yes, 'twas a great January...too bad that filthy, overgrown rat Punxsutawney Phil had to show up and ruin it with a dreary six more weeks of winter, which wouldn't be so bad except that Wilson won't have his iPad for another nine weeks.

The 404: Ep. 509: Where nobody likes country music, except for everyone

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:14:41 PST

You guys filled up our voice mail box over the weekend with your thoughts on the new Apple iPad, but we have to spread the hate around with a quick chat about last night's Grammy Awards, PETA's robotic groundhogs, and high school reunions. We've also got plenty of your sticker pictures to show off, including one that might be NSFW....big surprise, 404!

The 404: Ep. 508: Where we reveal our 'Secret Identities'

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 02:00:05 PST

This week's Apple iPad announcement gives us the perfect opportunity to discuss the future of publishing with Cliff Chiang and Jerry Ma, two graphic illustrators in the comic book industry. They join us in the studio today to talk about their collaborative project, "Secret Identities," a graphic novel anthology of Asian American superhero stories.

The 404: Ep. 507: Where (insert Apple iPad joke here)

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:54:35 PST

This episode of The 404 Podcast is dedicated to all of our heartbroken comrades out there who were expecting an Apple tablet computer, but got an Apple e-reader instead. Join us as we recap what might be the most underwhelming Apple product announcement since Apple TV.

The 404: Ep. 506: Where the Apple tablet is the most important thing we will ever do

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:28:56 PST

It smells like Apples in here. The day of reckoning is finally upon us and CNET has all your Apple coverage including a live blog to track the news as it comes through the pipe.

The 404: Ep. 505: Where we're selling our Apple tablet on eBay

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:51:59 PST

No, we don't have the new iPad/iSlate/iFail just yet, but we're crossing our fingers hoping for good news at tomorrow's Apple Event. CNET correspondent Natali Del Conte is already in San Francisco ready to cover the big announcement, and we're stoked that Jeff hosted Loaded today in her absence. Also, be sure to check out PRE-GAME, Jeff's newest video game show on CNETV starting next Tuesday, February 2.

The 404: Ep. 504: Where we'd buy that for a dollar

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 02:17:34 PST

Wilson is supposedly out sick this morning and can't be on the show, but it's obvious to Jeff and me that he wanted a head start on Wednesday's Apple Event. Either way, we're happy to have CNET's Smartphone Senior Editor Bonnie Cha here to replace him.

The 404: Ep. 503: Where everything was better in the '90s

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:04:42 PST

In typical 404 fashion, this morning's show started later than usual, mostly because we couldn't shut up about all the things that made the 1990s one of the best decades ever.

The 404: Ep. 502: Where give Jill three and a half mice and Two and a Half Men

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:17:50 PST

Jill Schlesinger joins the show today after a few months without her presence. A lot has changed since then, we got stickers, the U.S. Senate has 59 Democrats and now ABC is doing promos for CNET.com. (The 404 Podcast and CNET are wholly owned by CBS Corporation.)

The 404: Ep. 501: Where we play with each other's tools

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:57:34 PST

The 404 Podcast Tip of the Day: it's an unspoken rule that every nerd has to include a multitool of some kind in his or her EDC arsenal. My most recent addition is the Leatherman Skeletool CX, a 7-in-1 with carbon inserts to lower the weight.

The 404: Ep. 500: Where Wilson brought his happy pills

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:38:55 PST

We're surprised that Wilson is still standing after going under the knife yesterday to get his wisdom teeth pulled. Luckily, Wilson explains that his disturbingly small mouth, combined with the supreme skills of his dentist, led to a speedy recover--less than 24 hours after the surgery, we've got our Wilson back! And besides, all of his wisdom is localized to his hair.

The 404: Ep. 499: Where we turn our heads and cough

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:10:29 PST

In case you didn't catch the preshow, today's show title is in honor of Jeff and Wilson both visiting the doctor...here's hoping they're at the same time. Before we get to the show, be sure to head out for your free tacos from Taco Bell, then come back for another hilarious Friday episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast.

The 404: Ep. 498: Where Jeff battles the Triad

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 01:07:22 PST

We love getting (scheduled) visits from fans of The 404, especially when they come with treats for us! Henry Chu aka Charlie Chu aka Tapchus in the chat room stopped by this morning to pick up some stickers and ends up joining us in the studio for the first segment of the show.

The 404: Ep. 497: Where we cash in our green card

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:51:11 PST

New Jersey passed a bill last week legalizing medicinal marijuana, so begin today's episode of The 404 Podcast with a quick discussion about the taxation, decriminalization, and dispersion of medicinal marijuana.

The 404: Ep. 496: Where all you need is a self-addressed stamped envelope

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:02:29 PST

We've been promising you guys 404 stickers for the past year now, and we're happy to report that we finally have them in the office! We literally have 15,000 of them in boxes at our desks just waiting to ship out to our faithful listeners, so if you want a stack and a handful of 404 temporary tattoos, all you have to do is send a self-addressed stamped envelope.

The 404: Ep. 495: Where we left a part of ourselves at CES 2010 in Las Vegas

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:45:32 PST

Today is our first day back from CES 2010 in Las Vegas, and we're pretty lucky to return with our sanity (and organs) fully intact.

The 404: Ep. 494: Where you have to invert the image to see us nude

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 09:33:08 PST

Don't worry, the video you're about to watch features three fully clothed nerds talking about the best of CES 2010 for The 404 Podcast's last show LIVE from the CNET stage here. We've rounded up the funniest stories from this year's show for this wrap-up episode, starting with Jeff eating his hateful words about 3D PS3 and Xbox 360 Game Room.

The 404: Ep. 493: Where we pulled the plug on the Microsoft keynote

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:49:03 PST

Our good buddy Clayton Morris from "Fox and Friends" joins us live onstage at CES 2010 to chat about this year's ongoing trends in technology. But before we get to all of that, we feign responsibility for the power outage at Wednesday's Microsoft keynote address. Just kidding, guys; please divert your hate mail elsewhere.

The 404: Ep. 492: Where we're the first podcast ever to broadcast in 3D

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:13:09 PST

We're very excited for our first official show from the CNET stage at CES 2010, and it seems like the entire conference is buzzing about the latest in 3D technology! We're still working on getting 3D for our show, so you'll have to settle for us throwing cameras, USB keys, and printers at the camera in the meantime.

The 404 Podcast 491: Where we're all cast in new roles for 2010

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 12:42:32 PST

We're back! Jeff and Wilson are joined in the studio today with "Kenri," and Justin chimes in from San Francisco via phone. It's back to our usual shenanigans again, and we recount our holiday break. Plus, we have an apology to make to James Cameron.

The 404: Ep. 490: Where we finish things on a good note

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 02:54:36 PST

It's the last live episode of The 404...of 2009. Russ Frushtick, chief gamer at MTV Networks, joins the show today along with Mark Licea of The Green Show to discuss the tumultuous, but exciting year in videogames. Finally, we get to the winners of our "Hangover" contest.

The 404 Yuletide Mini-sode: Where Hackers of the world unite

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:00:00 PST

While you're enjoying the holiday break, check out this very special pre-recorded Yuletide episode dedicated to the most inaccurate cyberpunk movie ever to tumble out of Hollywood. Of course, we're talking about Hackers, the cult classic film that first phreaked its way into our hearts way back in 1995.

The 404 Yuletide Mini-sode: Where The 404 is the Fifth Element

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:00:00 PST

Today's special holiday edition of The 404 is dedicated to The Fifth Element, easily one of our favorite movies of all time. From the epic vision of the distant future to the colorful characters and of course the operatic techno scene, this movie retains its entertainment value after almost 13 years.

The 404 Yuletide Mini-sode: Where we have fond memories of 2009

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:00:00 PST

It's hard to believe that 2009 has already come and gone, but with the holidays over and 2010 around the corner, we've decided to record a special wrap-up episode to finish off the year. Lots of big changes that happened in the past twelve months, but the most momentous for the show has to be the introduction of the Tricaster and the subsequent evolution into a full-fledged video show. Of course, we have to thank Jason Howell, the man behind all the CNET Podcasts who helped us set up and troubleshoot our new equipment.

The 404 Yuletide Mini-sode: Where we recap the movies of 2009

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 08:00:00 PST

In typical 404 fashion, we run down the list and pick out the movies that we love, and of course the movies that we love to hate.

The 404: Ep: 489: Where our drones got hacked

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:45:04 PST

Things are certainly winding down here at the CNET New York offices as The 404 finishes up its last two live episodes for the year. In the studio with us today is Natali Del Conte along with her CBS producer Will--so it sounds like the show is about to get some Early Show love on Friday morning!

The 404: Ep. 488: Where we now offer free Wi-Fi--with the purchase of a Happy Meal

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:52:09 PST

This may be the last week of live 404 episodes, and it's also been the most hectic. With Wilson missing his second day in a row and Caroline McCarthy being bedridden by a holiday cold, Mark Licea and Bonnie Cha help me hold down the fort.

The 404: Ep. 487: Where even we can win a Golden Globe this year

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:52:19 PST

While today's Golden Globe announcements were a bit underwhelming, we were thrilled to see "The Hangover" get a nomination in the Best Picture: Comedy or Musical category. To coincide with the film's release on Blu-ray and DVD today we're giving away copies of the movie!

The 404: Ep. 486: Where Bonnie is not Nicole

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:54:19 PST

Bonnie Cha, senior editor for cell phones, joins the show today to fill in for Justin Yu. It's one of the few days Wilson and Jeff aren't worried about losing their jobs for something they shouldn't have said. And no, she is NOT Nicole Lee. What better day to have Ms. Cha on the show than following the weekend that the actual Google phone leaks!

The 404: Ep. 485: Where Justin is leaving on a jet plane

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:05:35 PST

Goodbyes are never easy, but it ain't so bad when you're leaving for a three-week holiday vacation to Huntington Beach, Calif. On today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast, the dudes celebrate Justin's last show in 2009. To everyone's disappointment, he'll back back in January 2010 for one episode, and then the dudes are off to CES for four shows from the CNET stage!

The 404: Ep. 484: Where we text message Tiger Woods

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:52:20 PST

Welcome to Justin's penultimate episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast! Tomorrow will be our last show as a team, but there's plenty of special Yuletide episodes, contests, 404 merchandise, and CES shows to look forward to in 2010.

The 404: Ep. 483: Where we play a never-ending game of devil's advocate

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:03:07 PST

Today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast starts off on a personal note, with Jeff detailing last night's tour of Justin's tiny Manhattan apartment. I'll concede that the space is indeed very small relative to the cripplingly expensive rent, but like any self-respecting human, I'll pay almost anything stay out of New Jersey.

The 404: Ep 482: Where we put on our poker face

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:41:37 PST

Before we get into the stories on today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast, let's spend a moment on the magic of Lady Gaga. In this morning's pre-show, Jeff admits he's finally fallen for the incendiary pop star, and it's all because of her newest video, "Bad Romance." We all agree that the diva is definitely the most talented pop star, but the nerds inside of us have to ask: does she have to constantly pimp her Monster Heartbeat headphones in every single music video?

The 404: Ep. 481: Where we finally get our hands on that Nook

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:19:04 PST

Believe it or not, the fourth host on today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast is the Nook, Barnes & Noble's e-book reader with a color touch screen and Wi-Fi. The device is currently sold out and on back order throughout B&N, so it wasn't easy to obtain. We had to walk 500 miles and battle a Nazgul to get it, but the in-studio demo was worth the wait. If you haven't seen a Nook up close, you're in for a treat.

The 404: Ep. 480: Where new information has come to light, man

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:47:09 PST

CNET Audiophiliac Steve Guttenberg joins The 404 Podcast for a special Friday episode all about the art of music appreciation. We love having Steve on the show because he actually comes prepared with topics of discussion, and today he launches right into a thoughtful point about how music has become background filler for the digital generation.

The 404: Ep. 479: Where we pick our poison

the404@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:54:56 PST

It feels good to let the poison out every once in a while, so today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast is all about human vices, starting with a story about a controversial secret love scene in Dragon Age: Origins between two gay elves.
