Tech Talk strikes again with excellent tech news coverage and witty insight. This show features Chris, Jeff, and Kevin. Pete decided to fry his USB headset this evening, so we had to do the show without him. We discuss what's been going on in our techy lives and then of course go straight into our news stories. This week we converse about Sony getting a taste of their own medicine, Creative's folly, internet in the friendly skies, really expensive internet service, some shocking news about iTunes, Microsoft Surface finally surfaces, and even more. You can provide feedback to the show at www.techtalkshow.com.

It felt like such a slow news week, but we were able to dig up some interesting things to talk about. Kevin, Jeff, Pete, and Chris are all present at this show and we even have a surprise guest at the end of the show: Senator Ted Stevens. Pete is back with his brand new headset, and if his voice sounds like pure pwnage it's because he's using the fatal1ty headset. This week we discuss the Rick Rolling of the New York Mets, Walmart.com DRM free, Internet safety vs sex education, Strong Bad coming to the Wii, and much more.

Tech Talk has been putting shows out for a year now, and since this was our 50th show that means we've only missed two weeks, right? It seems like we have missed more shows that that ;-). We start off this show as always by discussing what's been going on with in the last week. Only Kevin has anything interesting to add as he was in Boston for the first part of this week. For our anniversary we talk about tech news stories! This week we discuss Blockbusters odd attempt to buy Circuit City, the real culprits behind the undersea cable cuts, Oklahoma's ineptitude, NBC's attempt to get their content back on iTunes, parents selling game consoles, and much more. You can provide feedback to the show at www.techtalkshow.com.
