But we’re glad to say that we haven’t disappeared and have returned just in time for Techmeme Friday, which has to be one of our favorite shows to do. So with out further ado here’s a selection of some of the headlines on Techmeme at the time of recording the show that caught our attention.

Not that any of this will matter since the Steve Jobs Effect is in action and everyone is hanging off of every word he says at the D8 conference but hey we’re gluttons for self-abuse so on with the show.

We start off talking about the absolute ridiculousness surround the whole Google gives Windows the boot story that everyone is falling for hook line and sinker. From there we have a little bit of a go at the Wired iPad app that everyone – except Sean – is in love with and how Adobe thinks its creation tools for iPad magazines is all the snizzle.

The show ends off with us talking about the silliness that is the FCC asking people to let them know if they think their ISPs are a bunch of liars. Duh!

Well both Sean and I hope that everyone in the US has had a great Memorial Day long weekend and are already to get back to work tomorrow but in the mean time we didn’t get the day off which of course means it’s time for Moronic Monday’s.

While the news has been lighter than usual due to the long weekend in the US we did manage to scrounge up a few stories of silliness to share with you today. So with out any further ado.
