CobWEBs Daily Edition podcast: Please Microsoft save us from a Facebook-Google world

cbn1-podpost Tonight’s show see Sean and myself going from one extreme of reality to another.

We start off in a totally non-tech related discussion of what the hell is Sony doing with Spiderman. Like didn’t having a billion dollar franchise give them enough wet-dream they have to now go and reboot it. How many times do we need to see the angst of Parker getting bitten by a spider?

Speaking of angst there was plenty of it to go around in our discussion regarding my fervent wish that Microsoft get a clue when it comes to the social media world before it is too late and we are stuck in one controlled by Google and Facebook. Regardless of how much people love Google there are a lot of things it is doing that have cause some concern and then we have Facebook who will sell our privacy to the highest bidder.

Posts referred to in the show.

Spider-Man 4 Canceled; Franchise Reboot Planned – Sean P. Aune
Google sure has picked of the tricks of screwing their customers pretty quick – The Inquisitr

CobWEBs Daily Edition podcast: And you thought you’d had enough CES news and opinion NOT!

cbn1-podpost The Consumers Electronic Show, otherwise know as CES is apparently the hot place to be at this time of year as we get to see all the products that probably never make it to market.

I’m joking of course but tonight’s show with Mark and Sean starts at the entry gate to CES and then rambles all over the building – with neither of them leaving the comfort of their homes.

Of course being a bunch of cynical ol’ bastards it isn’t all sweetness and light but you’ll have to listen for yourself to find out what I mean.

Enjoy the show.

cbn1-podpost In another of those mark your calendar events Sean got together with our third host Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins for tonight’s show.

Of course given the recent rumors flying around over the fact that Apple is going to be anointing the world with it version of computing nirvana – otherwise known as the Jesus Tablet – Mark and Sean felt it was their duty to talk about it.

Enjoy the show.

CobWEBs Daily Edition podcast: Algorithms are for woozies real news has a human touch

cbn1-podpost Once more Talkshoe decides to make our life difficult and as a result the show is a little late getting posted, although not as late as yesterday.

Tonight’s show with myself and Sean starts out with us expressing our opinion of the possible pricing of the Google Nexus One that is supposed to be revealed to the world on January 5. Needless to say we are more than a little disappointed.

Next up we discussed the idea that the once all powerful algorithm used to aggregate many of today’s news sites could be getting more of a human touch as the idea of curated news seems to be gaining momentum.

Oh and we also share what has to be one of the masters of crankiness but if you can’t handle a little tough language it probably won’t be for you.
