The Queue: Would you pay to watch?

MMMMmmmm... nothing like the Razr2, a Mercedes-Benz and destruction in Russia to spice up a commute. Plus, we check in on a really easy to use VOIP service and would you pay to download music if you didn't have to? Radiohead hopes you will.

NYT's Pogue takes a lesson from CNET

As I'm commuting home yesterday afternoon, I fire up the old iPhone and decide to watch some video podcasts. After a little Geek Brief TV and Buzz Report, it's time for David Pogue. As host of my own vlog, The Queue, I often wonder if fellow vloggers ever watch my show. I wonder if Pogue, on his way into work, takes out his iPhone and checks out The Queue, or Top 5. I wonder if Kevin Pereira, at his G4 desk, quietly watches CNET Live.

Well, you can imagine my surprise, when exactly 52 seconds into Pogue's … Read more

To cheers, iPhone docks in San Francisco

The coronation of the heralded iPhone in America's tech/geek capital began 10 minutes before 6 p.m. as the downtown San Francisco Apple store shed its temporary window drapings to the roar of the waiting hordes.

Oversize iPhones in the windows counted down the minutes as Apple employees began a bizarre ritual. Half of the black-shirted workers formed a receiving line while the other half jogged through the front door to high fives and cheers.

As the countdown clocks in the windows hit zero, employees managed to push back the crush of onlookers and reporters, and the first … Read more

S.F. Apple store closes so it can open again

As planned, Apple shuttered its flagship San Francisco Apple store at 2 p.m. today to prep for tonight's first iPhone sales.

Apple employees gawked back at the gawkers outside the store on Stockton Street in downtown San Francisco. A constant stream of curious passersby snapped camera-phone shots, local news cameramen hovered, and independent video bloggers galore were on hand for the closing of the Apple store curtains before they'll be raised again this evening for the first iPhone sales in the Pacific time zone.

New Yorkers got their phones earlier this afternoon, and News.com reporter Caroline … Read more

Show notes from The Queue: Minty fresh!

The latest episode of The Queue is now available on CNET TV.

As you may have noticed, today we took the show outside and Tuesday's show was taped in front of a different background. That's because our studio is under construction! It's an exciting project that will take a few weeks to complete, but once it's done, we'll be able to do a lot more with the space. But taping outside is pretty fun!

Show notes - The Queue: Moon bound!

The latest episode of The Queue is now available for your viewing pleasure on CNET TV. Here are notes on the things I mentioned: Moon Resorts I first met the guys behind this at the X Prize Cup in Las Cruces, NM. I've always been fascinated with space and I thought the little 3-D model of the resort was so cool. I'm not sure how far along plans are to actually build one of these...but I can definitely see the potential appeal.
