Three InSight

Dave's father has recently purchased an external floppy drive… Yes, the guys are a bit perplexed as well. Skype, which has recently been acquired by Microsoft, has released their app for the iPad. The doors are being nudged open for some really interesting possibilities in this space. Airbnb.com has been in the news recently due to their public relations issues with a few events. A few homes have been trashed, and Airbnb initially stated it was the owner's issue. How a company deals with an issue, (right or wrong), can have a big and possibly immediate impact.

Google+ has been out for 3 weeks and is up to 20 million users already! Doyle has not drunk the kool-aid yet… Dave compares posts and their responses on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. Check out his description and why he chooses the current "winner." Oh yeah, Lion is finally out! Someone describes it as "pretty slick"…

More Google+ talk! It seems to be going well so far, they may be able to take a decent amount of Facebook's subscriber base. It totally allows you to organize people how you want them to be. The guys are on board for the potential that Google+ has, especially in the wake of the other social networks Google has built that did not catch on. The iPhone 5 rumors are a flyin'! What can it do that the iPhone 4 and iOS 5 won't? And a new iPad as well?…

Apple has released a new Time Capsule. It comes has the option of coming with a 3TB hard drive. Doyle tells how he is laying out a plan to help his office make backing up painless. A 19 yr old hacker allegedly of the group LulzSec has been arrested by Scotland Yard. How is the law able to keep up with the rate at which technology evolves? Also, the news is reporting on these events more than ever, but to what end...

The Mac world is not looking to be as teflon as it has in the past in the world of viruses and malware. Michael does the math for us… Mac Defender has done a successful job of rearing its ugly infecting head. When problems like these arise, where does the responsibility lie in counteracting, or at least help stem the tide of spreading the disease?

WWDC is now over! The guys discuss some of the items in the keynote address; iOS5, iCloud, iTunes Match and Lion. Lion could open the door to a whole new group of users, along with iOS5. Steve Jobs has also proposed to build a " spaceship" in Cupertino for Apple's new campus.

Facebook is in the middle of yet another scandal. This time it involves a whisper campaign against Google and the PR company of Burson-Marsteller. The guys discuss the moral and ethical implications of multi-billion dollar companies using such tactics. Apple is having a special event this weekend. Will it be a new product, new marketing, or just a special promotion? Let them know your predictions.

Microsoft has purchased Skype, for a ridiculous sum of money. This is their single largest acquisition. But how and will Microsoft fit it into the existing environment? Google is releasing its Chrome based laptop. Will it be a game changer, and what is the best way to market it?

Net Neutrality and Net Management!!! They are sometimes confused and can be very confusing. Listen in and see if you can get some details cleared up. How do you feel about, pay per usage for internet, an egalitarian internet, or fairness?

Mark Zuckerberg is finding himself in legal hot water again. Paul Ceglia alleges he provided the Facebook billionaire with seed money to start the website. This week also marked the demise of the Flip Camera. Amazon is looking to offer an ad supported Kindle, but for only $25 dollars less. For that little amount, can it possibly be worth it?
