This week, Matthew Petschl, desk building extraordinaire, and Ryan Rampersad host a guest via mix-minus and Skype! Sam Ebertz is a University of Minnesota student studying Astrophysics and he’s really amazing at math. We talk about his Kindle Fire, the blackout caused by SOPA and the underwhelming Kindle-killer iBooks event from Apple this week.

Sorry for the delay. We spent a lot of time with the studio rearrangements and the editing. Enjoy.

How is the audio?

This week, Matthew and Ryan record early and talk about this week’s CES impact: minimal. Ryan talks about the Google+ search integration and the special education event Apple is hosting in New York. Matthew talks about the success of TV extensions in the future, Apple TV, Ubuntu TV and Google TV.

Our special section today was the App of the week where we talked about Remoter for iPad and Wifi Analyzer for Android.

The first show in the new year, Ryan Rampersad and Matthew Petschl share the news on Apple, Microsoft, CES rumors and the role of technology in education. Matthew has an egg full of putty and he even chokes a little on the drink of the chosen.

Happy New Year! I was on vacation from the moment this podcast was finished until this moment. I’m sorry this is so late. This week, networking tech extraordinaire, Matthew Petschl and I discuss my grandmother’s new Apple TV and what we think the future of the Apple TV is, Verizon’s new dead bill-paying convenience charge, more iPad 3 rumors, Thunderbolt’s upcoming launch, the formerly code-named Cedar Trail Intel processor, and more!

This was definitely recorded on Friday evening December, 30, 2011. During this episode, we occasionally reference the future “two days from now”. We’re referring to our New Year’s special! (Thanks to Ian for pointing that out.)

It’s Christmas Eve! Or Adam, as some might say. This week’s podcast was well crafted and a great journey into the land of technology. Before our normal stories, we talked about my grandmother’s Christmas present, a portal into the Internet’s movie house, Netflix, through the infamously minuscule Apple TV. Then we delve into the rumor rabbit hole of the iPad 3. The show open is full of Google goodies and there’s even a jolly Jobs later on. All that and more, coming up on this Christmas Eve episode.
