YA! Twitter got a new home page. Let’s all go out and party like it is 2007 and get all warm and fuzzy. In other words for the millions of people using non-Twitter clients nothing has changed but for those developing for Twitter services it is yet another lesson that maybe you should all go back to writing email clients or “Hello World”.

Then’s there’s Google ….

Not that anyone will notice but I got me a new mic to do my shows with which should result in a better quality audio, which when it comes to podcasts is a really good idea. Other than that it was just another normal Moronic Monday where we get to see Sean’s head approach the exploding point once more.

It’s amazing. Even though there are two timezones involved both Sean and myself had our schedules totally thrown to the dogs at around dinner time putting both of us behind the eight ball. This is of course the reason why the show is a little late getting to you tonight but never fear it is full of all kinds of good Techmeme chain yanking.

Braindead TechCast EP 140: Our very own Old Spice moment

In a moment so unlike Sean he has a bit of a rant about button clickers being nothing more than mindless lemmings but it doesn’t last long and we get to the meat of the show.

Much of the tech blogosphere has been going on and on about the news that Apple finally released its Apps design and best practices guideline today – we take a look at it, and contrary to what some people might think one of my opinions will surprise you.

Plus we have our very first audio comment.
