It's our last episode on the radio station. But never fear! We are going to continue recording and releasing our show in podcast format. This means for now we will no longer be able to take phone calls, but continue to look to Tech Talk for your weekly does of tech stories we find interesting. This week we spend lots of time discussing the recent RIAA case that went to trial, including a great rant from Kevin. We also go over some Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo news.

Show #27

October 11th, 2007 -
We've gone off the air and are now broadcasting over this strange new technology called the internet. Of course, if you've already been listening to the podcast version of our show this means very little to you. The professionalism is gone, so get ready for the background interference while we discuss our tech stories. Speaking of technology news stories, we cover quite a bit in this episode. Listen to why Pete hated ubuntu, did Jammie get a fair trial?, good and bad Wii news, and the FCC does something right. Listen, learn, and maybe laugh. It's okay, we won't tell anyone else you're a geek. You can provide feedback to the show by calling 206-888-2728.

Show #28

We're back with another episode of Tech Talk. For the first time, we have a guest on this show: Chris from Idaho. Pete and Chris served together in Uzbekistan and until about a year or so ago Chris lived in the Phoenix area. We discuss what's been going on with us since the last show. Pete and Kevin have been sinking much time with The Orange Box and Chris has been playing The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. Pete also has a rant about Java. Jeff is tempted to get The Orange Box and would definitely buy the PC version over the Xbox 360 version. Jeff speaks of his love for Puzzle Quest on Xbox Live Arcade. You can provide feedback to the show by calling 206-888-2728.

We are joined once again by Chris and for the first half of the show you can thank him for the static. Since the last show, Jeff has bought some DVDs, Pete has been sick, and Chris sees rainbows on his TV. Top news stories this week include an updated Windows already in the works, hate for Comcast, curiosity for China, problems with Vista, and more stupidity from NBC.
