We have a sneaking suspicion that Natali Del Conte crept into the podcast studio over the weekend and planted a cherry bomb in our computer, because we run very, very close to losing the entire recording of today's show with Rich DeMuro of Synched Up. Luckily, Wilson "Al Borland" Tang is able to save the show, and although the audio isn't quite up to par, we gotta make do with what we got (it's not a lot).
So be sure to listen to today's show. We ask Rich about his new show Synched Up, Jeff drops a BOMB that deserves much congrats, I grovel to Cupid, God of VDay, and apologize for standing up Rana Sobhany on Saturday, and we talk about a bunch of hilarious stories including a card-counting iPhone App, the Transformers 2 trailer, The Simpsons in HD, and we all thank Wilson for saving our economy by allowing the government to tax his monthly adult-video allowance.
Definitely tune in tomorrow as well. Clayton Morris from Fox and Friends is going to drop by-- it's been too long!

Rana June and The 404: Together forever in love
(Credit: The 404)It's Friday the 13th today, and just one day left before Valentine's Day, so we beg 404 resident hottie biscotti Rana Showbunny of Medialets into the studio to help Jeff decide what to get his girlfriend for the holiday. Her answer is definitely the opposite from what we thought! Meanwhile, I think all hope is lost for Wilson and me...I can't speak for him, but I know that by this time tomorrow I'll be curled up in the fetal position with a Snuggie watching A Walk to Remember and polishing off a Dumpster's worth of Slim Jims. After all, not all of us can be single by choice like Miss Sobhany. She also gives us her professional opinion on this terrible "25 things" survey going around on Facebook, and somewhere during the show I manage to break off my own swagger--take that metaphor any way you'd like, just be sure to download the show. And don't even think about it, I already asked Rana to be my Valentine- she said "absolutely not," but still.

Today we get down and dirty with David Carnoy, Executive Editor and resident tech carnoysseur at CNET.com. As a self-published author (check out his book at KnifeMusicBook.com), he gives his unique take on the recent Amazon Kindle 2 announcement, iPhone eBook alternatives, and whether or not the Kindle can cordially coexist with tangible novels and newspapers.
We also ask him to stay for a few stories, including a study out of Europe that finally takes a logical stance on video game censorship. We also try to congratulate David on the recent birth of his twins, but get sidetracked explaining the process of conception to Wilson. All that and more Valentine's Day chatter to make you puke pink and red sprinkles. With love, The 404!

Veronica Belmont of Revision3's Tekzillaand PlayStation's Qore rubs the sleep out of her eyes and joins us on today's show all the way from San Francisco. We chew up a little East Cost/West Coast beef, address Justin and Veronica's fleeting encounter at CES 2009, and jump right into our Valentine's Day plans. The three of us discuss our lonely and pathetic V-Day schedules, but we're all floored when Veronica reveals her top-secret wild and crazy plans. I'm not even sure where she rented a crane and a trailer full of Capuchin monkeys from, but hopefully it all goes to plan!
