Ep. 1104: Microsoft hides its hot new TV service
Bing has taken over MSN video and it has videos from every network. Why aren't they trumpeting this? We also get really confused by Verizon's unlimited plan that has a limit of 5GB. Does it? Doesn't it? What the hell? And we debate the way Twitter retweets.
Is this really made by the same folks who brought you the Navigator?
BOL 1072: Mustache-twirling jerks at AT&T
As AT&T tries to accuse Google of violating Net neutrality, Molly wonders if the company really just wants to be seen as a villain. Also, while you should never call anything unhackable, the Netbooks being given to students in Australia are pretty tight. Physical-layer BIOS protection is unusual in an educational situation like that. And we also get a little frustrated with people who don't listen. So please. Listen. Thanks.
The 404 416: Where our stocks are on fire and Jill hoses us down
Jill Schlesinger of CBS' MoneyWatch joins the show today to talk about the economy. So it turns out that things aren't going to collapse, and we're not going to have to sell our bodies in a barter system. That doesn't mean, however, we're out of the woods, and Jill is here to show us the way out. Throw in a little bit of health care, a little bit of Social Security and a garlic smell? Only on The 404!
Ep. 1111: Facebook is depressing
Why the long Face...book? A woman battling depression put some pictures of herself having fun privately on Facebook. Somehow the insurance company found them and cut off her benefits saying she looked happy enough and must be cured. Really? We also get further impressions on Google's Chrome OSD now that we've had more time with it, and YouTube pulls a Hulu, but not in the good way.
The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the wireless accessories aren't included.
Meet the ultimate, unlikely diva: Luis Guzman, in this video shot behind-the scenes of the movie "Waiting." From the blog of the director of "Waiting":
"Okay, here's a little preface: We were fortunate enough to have a guy, Jason Vowell, constantly filming behind-the-scenes footage, so it became commonplace. As a result, the actors let their guard down and often didn't notice the camera... And further as a result, I have this clip of Luis Guzman and I getting into a really bad argument, with him becoming a real asshole. I have to be honest, I didn't originally intend to show this clip to anyone. I thought "maaaaaaybe I'll put it on the 10-year anniversary DVD." (Yup, I've deluded myself into thinking there will be a demand for a 10-year anniversary DVD), because after 10 years it won't matter anyway... But the reason I've changed my mind is because Luis has been talking a bunch of shit about me in interviews. Someone on the IMDB message boards posted this link to slam online ... Here's the quote if you don't want to leave this page:
'Tell me about your film Waiting... What's really hood with that?
I had a good time doing that, but the director was a real a******. The guy gotta go to like acting school so he could understand actors better. Don't get me wrong, he did a nice job writing the stuff, but he was always like directing everybody on how to act. It got to the point to where I said, "Yo dude, how many films have you made?" And he said, "This is my first film." And I say, "Dude, this is like my 65th film. I think I can do this." I said, "Don't bawl, I'm gonna take care of you and do a good job." This director, he's a nice dude, but he don't know half the s*** he doing. You can write that cause I told him that to his face in front of everybody.'
I was even going to let it go after that. I fought back my urge to issue a retort for the last couple weeks... But I have since heard him say similar things to a couple of TV interviewers. My girlfriend (who works at Lions Gate Publicity actually) told me she heard him say the same basic thing to a journalist...IN THE PRESS LINE OF MY OWN F*CKING PREMIERE!... So that was it. As far as I'm concerned, all bets are off... Screw being the bigger man. I'm going to show you the clip.
Here's the set-up for the clip: Basically, I wanted Luis to cheer the character "Calvin" on by saying "You can do it!" (not like Rob Schneider, by the way), and he wanted to cheer him on by calling him a "Pissing-Pussy-Bitch." This is supposed to be Calvin's dream sequence where everyone is being nice to him, and I tried to explain that to Luis, but he wouldn't fucking budge. You tell me if I was being out of line, or if I was "directing him on how to act.""
BOL 1059: Nano Goes Retro with FM
The Apple annonucement was a little mundane. The One More Thing was an iPod Nano with a camera. We were more impressed with the fact that they added an FM radio. But really that's the number two story. The Palm Pixi caught our eye for top billing. Should it catch yours?
