We took a bit of a break, but now we're back with the first episode of Tech Talk for 2008! Jeff, Kevin, and Pete bring you the latest in what's been going on in their geeky lives, as well as the latest in tech news. We have a lot of good stories this week. The High Definition format war may finally be over, but we're not happy with who's still standing. We discuss what's new in the music industry and try and find out why they hate their customers so much. Trent Reznor released the financial information from his latest online music venture and we're confused as to why he's so upset. Listen to the show for all the details.

I am pretty sure that at an hour and twenty minutes long that this is our longest show ever. But that is good news, right? You get 1.3 hours of excellent content from the Tech Guys Jeff and Kevin, and we get to talk about what we love. The Macworld Expo was on Tuesday, so we spend some time talking about the latest announcements. Jeff also has a story about why he is going to be playing a bit less on this 360 for some time to come. As always we cover the latest shenanigans that the RIAA has been up to, the delay of a video game we were all anticipating, more on HD DVD vs Blu-ray, and more.
