The 404 1,163: Where we just can't be friends (podcast)

Find a stick to bite down on during today's show, because we're learning more than we ever wanted about the band Nickelback -- how they became Internet pariahs, why they've sold 50 million records, and the stomach-churning origin of their name.

We'll also review a new documentary about disappearing glaciers and climate control, question the value of Internet ads and the new "four second rule," and prove that the new flagship Apple store in Palo Alto, Calif., is just too darn loud.

Leaked from today's 404 episode:

- Businessweek publishes four-page Nickelback profile to explain why they're so hated.
