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.
