Buzz Out Loud 1003: Natali smuggles drugs in her undergarments

by Tom Merritt

OK, not really. Although she did admit to it. But it had to do with Intel getting into Nokia phones somehow. Or did it have to do with the Clear Pass getting discontinued at airports? Or was it? And there were chickens. And turtles. You have to just listen.

Hi buzz Crew

In Episode 1002 you talked about that a country with 95% broadband
cover is no 1?

All I can say is:

W T F(ragg) !!!

Here in Austria (home of the Governator) we have a 99% coverage with
HSDPA 7.2 MBit !!!

Plus at home I have (via Cable) unlimited 100MBit for only Euro 74!

So suck it Korea: Austria is the King of the Internet!

LTS

Alex

PS: We are the Kings of Phones to. Not only you can get here the
Iphone 3g for 1 euro or a free PS3 if you sign a 2 year datacard
contract – i am on a mobile plan were I GET 6 eurocent for every
Minute someone calls me on my cell!

TOP THIS WORLD

Hey Tom,

I’m not sure what I think about this article (a bit too colorful for
me), but if true, it’s pretty amazing that this guy was able to locate
and recover his lost iPhone.

Cheers!

I just saw this trailer for this movie (it`s only coming out here now)
and could not send you this. When was it that tom predicted a movie
coming this exact title? “Laughing Out Loud (LOL) the movie” is a
typical teen movie, about a disfunctional little family about a mother
and her teenage daughter discussing drugs, boys, love and sex. A
typical hollywood movie, except for the fact it’s in french.

Dear Buzz Crew:

I want to thank you guys for your support and care. It really means a lot to us (Persians).
Now a days in Tehran life has two different segments. First segment is from the morning till the noon around 12:00 to 13:00 that every one goes to work and do their usual stuff and from 14:00 to night we are on the streets fighting for a free and new Iran. So through this hard time (drink) one of the thing keeping me fresh , and eager to have some hours to myself is CNET podcasts, it makes me forget about everything and enters me in the world of tech and fun. Few days ago Natalie's theory for the Panasonic remote control on Gadgettes made me laugh so hard, I could not remember the last time I laughed like that.

Anyway, keep up the good work; I appreciate your care and attention, hoping for Freedom in Iran.

Best Regards

Siavash

Playboy opens up its back catalog of magazines to the Internet for free, and we're all at a loss of words. Tread lightly, buzz brigade. Also, IE8 users are downgrading to IE7 after only one weekend of use. Something smells Vista-ee in here.

The truth about micropayments

Regarding the gentleman who left a voicemail on Friday’s podcast wanting to know why Apple is charging ten dollars for a firmware upgrade to the iPod Touch, why don’t they just give it away for free, I’d like to propose the following theory:

Apple is a company.
Companies make products.
More often than not, they sell these products to consumers for money.

Now here’s the beauty of it. You don’t have to BUY the product. If you’re happy with your iPod Touch as is (after all, you liked it enough to buy it in the first place, didn’t you?) than don’t pay the ten dollars, and continue to enjoy your device! If you’d like the fancy new bells and whistles, then pony up the ten bucks. Because the real question could very well be, “Why isn’t Apple charging MORE for their firmware upgrade?” In fact, they could be charging THIRTY dollars, and they’d be well within their rights to do so. That’s the beauty of this capitalist society we live in. And speaking of which, I know that times are tough right now, but really? It’s ten dollars. You’re going to be Oh-Kay.

And to Molly, who feels that Apple shouldn’t even charge for updates to OSX because they are essentially “service packs”– I believe that Microsoft is hard at work on a “service pack” to Window’s Vista, called Windows 7. And I’m pretty sure they’re going to charge for THAT.

Love the show.
