Sean and I realized that while everyone seems to be totally enraptured with the every so magical Magic Trackpad released today by Apple there were other things going on as well. From file-sharers destroying the movie business to Twitter, Foursquare and Gowalla aren’t all that they are cracked up to be we dig into the bullshit of it all.

I’m not sure what happened to Sean at one point during the show but he managed to fight his way out of the fog and return just in time for a fun conversation about movies. Don’t worry they are tech related.

It was kind of a mish-mash night for Sean and I but it turns out that we actually have listener and he took the time to reach out to Sean on Twitter with a question.

Yup, that’s right, a real life question from a real life listener.

Needless to say we did our very best to answer the question.

What a weird week when it comes to tech news especially with everyone still obsessing about Apple and its little problem with the iPhone 4. Sure there might have been other news somewhere in the tech world but if it didn’t involve a movie analogy or apple then it just didn’t matter.

But never fear, your ever faithful host haven’t let you down yet and tonight will be no different.
