cbn1-podpost Tonight’s show definitely goes from one extreme to the other as Sean and I start out talking about all the strange and wonderful things that PC people do to their machines to either fix broken stuff or make the machines run faster. This came about because of a post I had just down over at WinExtra about folks that bake their video cards to fix them.

Ya. Bake them.

Anyway we return to form when the subject of Amazon and their recent dust up with Macmillian Publishers over the pricing of e-book sold through Amazon. Surprisingly both of us for the most part came out on the side of Amazon with their original but not the capitulation.

Posts referenced in tonight’s show.

A new use for your kid’s Easy Bake oven – fix video cards. – WinExtra
Why my books are no longer for sale via Amazon – Tobias Buckell
The return of the LP and the future of book publishing – The Inquisitr

Enjoy the show.
