Picks include the return of long-dormant musical artists, a great Twitter client and a great April Fool’s joke.

By the way, did you see Twilight yet?

Animation is the main topic of discussion, but not before Eddie reveals the identity of his new phone to Noah, who has a few questions.

Nominated to the Lame List in this episode are WordPress hackers/spammers and the Academy of Arts and Sciences (possibly the same people?).

Is the FCC listening in to this episode? Have the trio come up with the top-selling game of 2009? And can someone make a surprise guest appearance?

Picks include the Danny Boyle film Slumdog Millionaire and the Star Wars Mimobot Designer USB Flash Drives.

Noah grills Eddie about his visit to Macworld Expo 2009. Was it boring without Steve Jobs? Was there anything exciting from other companies? Should the Expo continue without Apple?

The Lamest of the Year awards go to Hollywood and Apple, while Picks of the Year go to Google Chrome and… Hollywood?

Also discussed are the popular holiday items in Mexico versus America. Car antlers?

Oh, and some small news like Steve Jobs won’t be giving the Macworld Expo keynote. Oh, and Apple won’t be attending Macworld Expo anymore.

Lame List nominations go to Discover Card for encouraging people to be irresponsible and MySpace for forcing people not to be.

Picks for this episode are Tom Noddy’s Bubble Magic and the opening of social networking sites like Facebook and Google Friend Connect.

The Simpsons episode parodying Apple is debated. Is it devastating commentary or just stupid fun? And where did the spiders in space come from? And is ‘mutized’ a word?.

This episode was originally titled Ay Caramba and accidentally had the wrong podcast file attached. Please to enjoy the correct episode.

Lame List nominations go to the gee-whiz election technologies employed by the news networks during election night and UPS for being just as lame as always.

Picks for this episode are U2′s remastered “Under A Blood Red Sky” CD & DVD and Girl Talk’s “Feed the Animals” album.

The topic for discussion is smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone, Google’s G1 and new Blackberrys.

For the first time in the history of the show a surprise Lame List nomination is given out! Wait for it!

First, the regular Lame List nominations are handed out to two broadcast networks: CNN and CBS. One for a legitimate reason and one for a much pettier reason.

Picks for this episode are Keane’s new album “Perfect Symmetry” and The Big Picture blog from the Boston Globe.

Discussion topics include Microsoft’s television advertising campaigns, their recent memo about the “Apple Tax,” and Apple’s new laptops.

After two years of podcasting, Noah and Eddie revisit the topic of the first episode: Apple’s September music event introducing new iPods and iTunes. Oh, and new Zunes, too.

But Apple is also the recipient of a Lame List nomination due to its App Store debacle. Amazon.com gets the competing nomination, now that ‘Video On Demand’ has mucked up the Recommended For You feature.

Picks for this episode are Megaman’s return to 8-bit glory and NPR’s Planet Money podcast.
