Braindead TechCast EP 78: A Gruber size bottle of aspirin

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Steven Hodson

While there wasn’t all that much news today what there was floating around was pretty interesting – in a brain dead sort of way in some cases.

Both Sean and I both are need of a big bottle of aspirin after trying to figure out John Gruber’s response to John Battelle’s comments about Apple possibly blocking Google’s AdMob ads from their iPhonbe and iPad apps. Ya that makes a lot of sense.

Then for some reason we got side-tracked in to talking about Billy the Exterminator – and no I’m not sure how we got there.

We also take a look at the security breach that saw a whole bunch of iPad user ID information siphoned off the AT&T servers and yet everyone seems to want to parcel some of the blame onto Apple – I don’t think so.
