Hello Nerdy

Fredo and Victor discuss Netflix's new problems, ribbons everywhere in Windows 8, the current state of the Ultrabook and Fredo's bizarre desire to run away with Samsung's Galaxy Note and live with it in an open smartphone utopia.

This week, the gang ogles a laptop that wasn't made by Apple, discusses who's who in Cupertino, who's keeping Symbian alive at Nokia and who's brilliant idea it was to mess with GameStop customers.

This week the gang discusses AT&T's new weapon in their crusade against fun, Google purchase of patents as well as Motorola Mobility and the death of WebOS and what that means to Matt's lofty tablet criteria.

Facebook Messenger is the latest volley against the cell phone carrier's brutal grasp on a universal wireless messaging service. But you won't be able to use it on your Nokia N9 (in America.) This is a very clever description indeed.

Between the $80 price drop and the Vita delay, one would assume that Nintendo is about to dominate the Holiday Season. Will it? I don't know, but HTC has Beats by Dre now.

Victorless and armed with a new format, the HN Crew delve into the topics of the week. Netflix, data throttling, 3DS price drop, and the BBC iPlayer are all discussed…and then swore at.

We spent 60 minutes scouring the week's news to find something Apple related, I swear. You may or may not be impressed with the results.

*POORLY MODULATED - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK* It was only a matter of time before the Hello Nerdy crew tried to tackle software patents. It's a toss up which system is more broken, software patents or their discussion about them.

A cross continent mashup, bringing you the hot rumors about the iPad Pro and iPhone 5 in addition to a bunch of other tech companies that matter less.

I tried editing this episode in FCPX, but I became so infuriated that I ditched the video completely.
