Ep. 1208: Good News Friday marred by Bad News
Created: 04/05/2010
Video description: We tried so hard to enjoy various good news items today, like how the DirecTV TiVo is coming in 2010, Sony is climbing up the game console sale charts, and the tech sector is finally hiring again and making money and stuff! But ... you know. There's also Sony's refusal to refund retailers who give money back to unhappy PS3 owners, Ireland trying to censor the Internet, and Ning working as hard as possible to lose every single one of its users. We tried, though. We really did. --Molly

Also, a civil war seems to be brewing over at Anonymous, and you can't pay attention because you have too much brain. --Molly
