Ep. 174: Nobody's Home, Happy Holidays!

Show summary: Tune in this week if you want to hear Donald and Jasmine talk about pretty much nothing. Also, Donald huffs bourbon throughout, Jasmine rants about Lady Gaga headphones, and both try to insert a little bit of news before the holiday break. But mostly, it's nothing. Be sure to check out CNET the week of January 4 for all the CES goodness, including a live podcast broadcast at 3PM on Friday, January 8.

Ep. 1130: Verizon is Robbing the Hood

Show summary: Verizon explains their early termination fee reasoning. It turns out they're just trying to help the poor. You see when they charge these outrageous fees, it SAVES poor people money on their phones. At least as long as they don't mind being locked into a contract for years. We also Rage against the Rage Against the Machine number one non-Christmas song.
