Created: 12/16/2009
Well, would you look at that? The Google Phone is real. On this week's Dialed In podcast, we interrogate producer Jason Howell, who was one of the first people to see the Nexus One phone in person. Plus, we wrap up this year's reviews and give you a preview of what we expect to see at CES 2010.
Ep. 488: Where we now offer free Wi-Fi--with the purchase of a Happy Meal
Created: 12/16/2009
This may be the last week of live 404 episodes, and it's also been the most hectic. With Wilson missing his second day in a row and Caroline McCarthy being bedridden by a holiday cold, Mark Licea and Bonnie Cha help me hold down the fort.
Ep. 1127: Microsoft and EU browser roulette begins
Created: 12/15/2009
So the EU and Microsoft have finally settled their differences and will begin the browser ballot with no less than 12 browsers to choose from. Is this a good thing? Also Intel is now under the gun from the US FTC. What did they do this time? Listen to find out. And Cherrypal is selling a $99 laptop they bill as slow and sufficient. Nice.
Ep. 173: Born a ramblin' man
Created: 12/15/2009
This week, Donald will just not_shut_up already, so Jasmine tries to impose a word cap on his ramblings (it fails). Items that are babbled upon include the overly bass-heavy Dr. Dre Beats Solo headphones, a potential Zii war between Nintendo and Creative, an itty-bitty $9 MP3 player, and a potential HD video player from Cowon. Also, Donald shoots Jasmine with lasers, and we drool over an ultra-quiet vacuum with a built in iPod speaker.
Ep. 487: Where even we can win a Golden Globe this year
Created: 12/15/2009
While today's Golden Globe announcements were a bit underwhelming, we were thrilled to see "The Hangover" get a nomination in the Best Picture: Comedy or Musical category. To coincide with the film's release on Blu-ray and DVD today we're giving away copies of the movie!

Ep. 1126: Microsoft plucks Plurk
Created: 12/14/2009
Among the news of new URL shorteners and Australian Internet filters comes one of the darkest moments in microblogging. Microsoft has pulled down their new Twitter-like site in China because it turns out it wasn't Twitter-like at all. It was in fact more like Plurk. In fact it looked like maybe they stole Plurk's code. We also get morally outraged at good business plans. Or stupid people. Or something. Just watch. Or listen.
Ep. 1125: Exclusive report on the Google Nexus One
Created: 12/14/2009
Some enterprising hackers have rooted the Barnes and Noble Nook giving them unrestricted access to the underlying Android operating system. Black and white tablet FTW! We also get the exclusive from Jason Howell about the new Google phone known as the Nexus One. And those crazy Scandinavians get to try out LTE first. Good on ya Nordic peeps!
Ep. 486: Where Bonnie is not Nicole
Created: 12/14/2009
Bonnie Cha, senior editor for cell phones, joins the show today to fill in for Justin Yu. It's one of the few days Wilson and Jeff aren't worried about losing their jobs for something they shouldn't have said. And no, she is NOT Nicole Lee. What better day to have Ms. Cha on the show than following the weekend that the actual Google phone leaks!

Ep. 148: Pandora prepares to invade your dashboard
Created: 12/11/2009
Pandora prepares to invade the dashboard. Porsche embraces lithium batteries - but not the way you think. Honda's CR-Z has a leak, and it's not transmission fluid! Ending the stigma of an in-car breathalyzer. And we go parking in a car that does it all by itself -- and really well.
Ep. 485: Where Justin is leaving on a jet plane
Created: 12/11/2009

On today's episode of CNET's The 404 Podcast, the dudes celebrate Justin's last show in 2009. To everyone's disappointment, he'll back back in January 2010 for one episode, and then the dudes are off to CES for four shows from the CNET stage!
