Buzz Out Loud 1003: Natali smuggles drugs in her undergarments

by Tom Merritt

6 comments

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

Dear Buzz Crew:

One again this is Siavash, from Tehran/Iran. As you may know from the news there a revolution going on in Iran, after the changes in votes by Iran's government, people are on the street every day and night.
We have no access to technology at all, all the mobile services and SMS,MMS and EDGE services are down, Facebook, YouTube and many other sites have been filtered, most of the time there is no internet connection with ADSL lines and a very powerful noise in satellite services, because of these problems I was not able to send you the videos I made for 1000 episode of BOL, know I'm using a 2way satellite service which has a very low bandwidth because of the noise, and I'm not able to download or stream BOL anymore.

Just wanted to say congratulations to all you guys for making this 1000 episode happen, I've enjoyed every minute of the show since the episode 50 or 60 that I started listening, and I have to say you guys are the best in tech field.

I hope there will be a day that we could have proper internet access and I could join you guys again.
Here is a link to my Facebook album and some pictures of what is going on in Tehran : http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=24107&id=1081415824&l=c9e2b20028

I Love the Show, YOU ARE THE BEST

Best Regards

Hey BOL,

Just wanted to pass on an idea on getting subsidized iphone upgrades annually, instead of every 2 years. My friend does this and it’s so simple. I can’t believe no one else has sent this in. All he did was add a second line to his account for 9.99 per month. The second line shares minutes, has no extras, no texting, nothing. Just the cheapest 2nd line plan you can get. Now he can upgrade either line and have the AT&T store switch phone numbers on each line everytime he upgrades. If you want to get the new iphone each year, it might be work 120 bucks per year to have the luxury of upgrading yearly at the subsidized price.

Love the show,
Ragan

Hey Guys,
By now, I’m sure someone has mentioned this already, but thought I’d pass it along.

In epised 994 you discussed maps for the iPhone and the possibility of TomTom using Open Street Maps. TomTom bought TeleAtlas a year or two ago, so it’s doughtful they can lower their cost with open source maps.

Love the show, keep rockin’ Molly,

Mike

I think it is great that Microsoft is donating to the poor for everyone who downloads IE8. Now can we get them to donate $6 for each person who downloaded IE6 and put this in a fund for the mental health care of all the web professionals who had to support that piece of #$%&^*?
