Inglourious SOS

Today's show was mostly about my experience at opening night of Inglourious Basterds. If you want the full details of the night make sure to listen to the show by using the flash player to the right. To sum it all up the experience of the movie was ruined by a lady who kept "wooing" every few minutes, as well as the various cell phone texters.



We also talked about the FCC's investigation into the rejection of the official Google Voice app. Both AT&T, and Apple have released statements. Apple and AT&T say that AT&T had nothing to do with it. Apple has a few reasons as to why it was rejected. First they said that they never rejected it, and they are still reviewing it. Then they went on to say that it would change the experience of the iphone, and Google's servers need to be secure. Honestly, I believe that there was another undisclosed reason as to why the app was rejected.



The new Zune HD was the last topic on the show. The Zune HD is Microsoft's answer to the ipod touch. I has an OLED touchscreen, HD rasdio, and the ability to output in 720p with the use of the dock. I have pre-ordered the "Platinum" 32GB version. I'm really looking forward to it, as my first generation Zune experiences problems with the latest firmware version. I'll definitely let everyone know how the player is working out when it hits stores on Sept. 15th.

The New Adventures of SOS

Surely you can't be serious. I am serious... and don't call me Shirley. We started out the show talking about films, and how America's youth don't appreciate them as art, but rather just purely as entertainment. A prime example of this is There Will Be Blood, and a classic such as Blade Runner. To here my full comments on Films make sure to check out the show, which you can listen to by using the player on the right.


Also we talked about Apple and it's crazy approval process for the app store. The FCC is investigating Apple over it's rejection of the official Google Voice app. I'll make sure to keep everyone updated on this story as more info is available.


We also talked about my netbook and hackintosh decision. I decided to just use my laptop as a hackintosh without buying a new netbook. It's great, but I also have a real mac that I use just as often.

Save Our SOS

Update on my netbook: I've decided to ditch the Aspire One and get a Dell Mini 9 and make a Hackintosh. This means that my Dell is going to have OS X on it. It costs more (even after my discount), but I think it's worth it. The total will be around $700 for the netbook and OS.

I also talked more about T.I. If you want to hear it check it out on the player to the right, or listen to the show here.

The "Mini crisis" about the RROD Xbox was a big topic as well. It was basically caused by Microsoft trying to save money. They now want people to pay to ship their broken consoles to them. This means at least $20 to have it properly packed. Microsoft has since cleared this up saying that they will send a box if it is requested, but you have to ask for it.



SKINS UPDATE:
I have found my favorite episode of Skins. It is from the third series, and is about the character JJ. I like it not for the story line, but rather for the way that the story is portrayed. I've really started to analyze movies and TV thanks to one of my classes I'm taking. I just thought that this episode was brilliant.

I also talked about No Country For Old Men. I really talked about how today's audience finds this type of movie very good, but a very important film like Blade Runner is boring. Once again you can listen to the show here.

Catch us next time here on SOS!!

The True SOS

First of all, you may have noticed our new website URL: www.scottolsenshow.com. That's right the show is getting better and better.



We started out the show talking about T.I.'s new show on MTV "T.I.'s Road to Redemption". I don't like the premise of the show, T.I. or the fact that MTV gave him a show. If you want to hear the full rant check it out on the player to the right.



SKINS UPDATE!!!
Of course we had to talk about the third series of skins. I'm completely addicted to it and the new cast. If you have a chance check it out on BBC America or visit the Skins website here.



We also talked about the Acer Aspire One netbook. I actually have a new update concerning my netbook, but I'll talk about that on the next show of SOS!!

SOS in the Morning

We're back and continuing to make changes to the show!! The biggest addition this time around are our new sound effects. As promised the answer to the unknown sound effect is: Anchorman.

We started out by talking about my newest technology purchase. The G1. It is the new touch screen phone running google's Android OS.

This phone is GREAT. It exceeded every expectation that I had. If you want to know more about it listen to the show!!


Also we discussed the all to famous "Red Ring of Death" on my xbox, and my never ending story.


This is the video on how to do the "Towel Trick" that I used to bring my RROD xbox back to life for a week.
