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 ….

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.

The day must come when even the reigning king of Apple ass-kissing must hand over his crown and MG Siegler’s 1,932 lovefest post to Apple’s new line of iPod goodness is definitely a salvo across the bow of the Daring Fireball of Apple adoration.

But before Sean and I got to that gag inducing subject we took a look at the current ménage à trois of the te3ch world that is Oracle, HP and Mark Hurd.
