Crave 29: Live from CES 2011 (podcast)

The Cravers hit up CES 2011 to check out all the goodies on the show floor.

Plus, a Star Wars event attempts to steal the show, Nike ditches the iPod in helping with your fitness goals, and Android Honeycomb makes us drool in anticipation.

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.

Crave Extras: Samsung Galaxy Tab eyes Apple iPad

Last week I posted a video of the Samsung Galaxy Tab (Verizon Wireless) and Apple iPad running through a few quick performance tests. Some of the responses were...fevered to say the least. Just wait until my Galaxy Tab vs. iMac video drops!

In the meantime, Donald Bell and I discuss how the Galaxy Tab's efforts to take over the world are repeatedly foiled by the iPad and how Android, in its current state, may not make for the best tablet OS.

Crave 28: Where's my steampunk boombox? (podcast)

This week, we get all Crave-y over a new boombox from TDK with a sweet design that belies the company's low-tech roots. Also, a fake coffee bot makes us yearn for the days when "The Jetsons" becomes a reality; some creepy crawlers get made over into flashy, USB-powered robots that are just ripe for holiday stockings; and we check out a tutorial on how to install your own "Star Trek"-worthy pneumatic doors. Plus, an utterly expensive--yet awesome--steampunk flash drive catches our eyes, as does a rather emasculating motorcycle ripped straight out of "Tron"--but for entirely different reasons. Finally, a shout-out to a local eatery in this week's "This is Why You're Fat" segment.

Crave 27: Shoes (podcast)

Aside from all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargains, it's been a relatively slow week for new gadget cravings. That said, we've got a few awesome gems to discuss in Jasmine's absence, including Delorean hard drives, the perfect vacuum shoes for Donald's recently admitted robot maid fetish, bike locks that take to the air, and social-network sneakers. Also, a pizza that should not be!

Digital City 106: iPad updates; OnLive's MicroConsole; and a couple of cord cutters

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.

Don't forget: You can download the show's theme song as a free MP3 here for a limited time!

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.
