The Braindead Techcast Ep. 8: A business that feeds off APIs is like a vampire waiting for sunrise

EPIC (The Electronic Privacy Information Center) has made an “epic” blunder in trying to claim Google Buzz is potentially a wiretapping violation … you can hear Steven and I hitting our heads on our keyboards.
We then delve into the sale of ReTweet.com and the potential trademark issues. This also brings up one of our favorite subjects about how building a business around another company’s API is just idiotic.
Enjoy the show!
