Note: With almost all of us decamping to Las Vegas last week, we never got around to posting the blog for the January 3 show until now.
All the buzz this week is about CES 2011, but besides that, the Digital City crew outlines how they all survived NYC's snowmageddon 2010, and find out what cool tech goodies we got (and gave) for the holidays.

It's the final new show of 2010, and we use it to host a relaxed roundtable discussion about last-minute holiday shopping; check out some holiday cards sent by video game companies; and tune into the perfect iPad app for cats.
It's also a perfect time for an end-of-year office clean out, so there are tons of video game goodies to give away. Leave a comment on our Facebook page and we'll randomly pick some stocking-stuffer recipients this week.

We're counting down the days until the end of 2010, with only two shows left. In this week's news, Gawker gets hacked, and some of us are among the victims. Play along at home as we search for our e-mail addresses in the leaked username database.
Later, we've got some more holiday gift ideas, and even a cool collection of prank packages to hide your goodies in.
Even better, we've got a just-in-time holiday giveaway: a deluxe Sony Singstar Party Pack for the PlayStation 3, complete with the game and two mics. Want to win it? Head on over to the Digital City Facebook fan page and enter by posting a comment.

TV guru David Katzmaier sits in for Joey this week, talking about his adventures in cord cutting. Like Scott, he also recently ditched his cable service for a mix of over-the-air and IPTV.
Additionally, Dan's iPad gets bricked by the iOS 4.2 update, and even our studio computer crashes, forcing an "a capella" version of the Digital City theme song.

Note: It's usually our video recording that ends up getting swallowed by our temperamental podcast system, but this time it's the audio version that's giving us some trouble--so stay tuned for the MP3 of this week's show.
This week: Facebook adds e-mail, but does anyone care? Apple's got some new iTunes plans; and we grab a Samsung Galaxy Tab for a head-to-head shootout with the iPad, which quickly turns contentious.
Also, tragedy strikes, as Dan's 42-inch plasma drops dead, leading to an epic quest to find a replacement.

This week: Dan gets punched in the face by the Kinect, 10 reasons Android beats iOS, and why your laptop is probably cooking your lap.
Note: Video coming soon (we hope). For now, enjoy the soothing sounds of the audio-only version of this week's show.

This week we celebrate the launch of Sprint's WiMax service in NYC, then discover a secret art project that involves planting USB ports around the city--what's stored on them? We're kind of afraid to find out.
After some talk about Halloween and high-tech costumes, we turn to the biggest story of the week--the launch of Microsoft's Kinect, with a brief detour into the land of The Walking Dead.

NYC Subway 24-Hour KickMap is an around-the-clock interactive guide to the New York City subway system. It combines the clean, easy-to-read design of the popular KickMap (an alternative print map beloved by cartography and design nerds) with excellent Google Maps integration.
The app's primary interface is the attractive, five-borough KickMap that lists every line and stop, along with a one-touch toggle between night and day maps (since the lines can change significantly after hours). While navigating NYC, you'll mostly touch and drag to find your location or destination on the KickMap--which is available offline, even when you're … Read more
Austin, Texas, and New York will be among the first cities in the U.S. where the Chevy Volt plug-in electric vehicle will hit the road.
General Motors is expected Thursday to announce that a first run of 8,000 cars will be made available in a handful of cities, The Detroit News reported Thursday.
The announcement is expected to come from GM CEO Edward Whitacre, who is set to address the Austin Chamber of Commerce on Thursday.
