The Braindead Techcast Ep. 23: Techmeme Fridays and no obscene bonuses for us

Ah, Fridays … also known as TECHMEME FRIDAY!
Steven’s and my little reward to ourselves at the end of the week where we go down the TechMeme page and do rapid fire commentary on each of the headlines. As always, it’s a fun time as we realize that people really wanted to talk about the iPad … a lot.
Listen in and enjoy the show!
