The 404 290: Where both Natali and Justin are suspiciously absent

Dr. Michael Breus, the Sleep Doctor, gets snowed out of New York today, and Justin Yu and Natali Del Conte are both suspiciously absent. We thought they were joking about the whole getting married thing. We didn't actually think they would hook up. Anyway, Heavy fills in today and does an admirable job of explaining why people get migraines. Essentially, Justin needs to take some Midol.

Facebook Ad

So what the hell is this Facebook ad supposed to mean? Jeff can't figure it out, but Heavy is heavy on the case. As usual, Jeff has a hater opinion on the new Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show. The best part by far is The Roots band. Anyway, we learn why smart people have a hard time dating. It's not the acne. It has mostly to do with the studying rather than dating.

Finally, big news of the day is that Apple updates its desktop line of computers. We know that the whole tech universe stops whenever Steve Jobs does...well... just about anything. Nothing spectacular here. It's just a refresh of its iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro lines of computers. Wilson is just glad that the Mac Mini isn't dead.

We've got a new contest! We want to come up with a new motto. Our archnemesis podcast Buzz Out Loud is "The Podcast of Indeterminate Length." So far, our best entries are "The Podcast of the Future" or "The Podcast of Indeterminate Sense." Send in your entries to 1-866-404-CNET (2628) or via e-mail to the404 [at] cnet [dot] com, and you might just get a nondate with Heavy.

F'realsies this time, we say a final farewell to our fallen comrade Randall Bennett on his last official day at CNET. He takes the reigns as guest host and gives his two cents on the homeless world cup, Craigslist disasters, the deportation of America's valedictorians, canine sexual assault, and (surprise surprise) DISNEY MOVIES.
