Welcome to another week of the daily edition of CobWEBs, the flagship podcast of The Cynical Bastards!
For those who don’t remember from the other episodes, this is a new format for the show as we are going to try giving you daily bite sized chunks of our patented brand of cynicism over everything in the tech universe. The show will have a rotating host schedule between Steven Hodson, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and myself. You’ll always get two of us, you just never know which two!
Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and I have another discussion about e-readers this evening, but from a different angle than usual. Barnes & Noble are being sued by Spring Design saying that the Nook violates the intellectual property rights of the smaller e-reader known as the Alex. Good times for all involved!

Steven Hodson and myself take Robert Scoble to task over his enthusiasm for Facebook FriendFeed Twitter lists. We also take on the basic concept of the lists, and how Pete Cashmore of Mashable basically turned the lists into a pointless game in one post. Oh well, in 30 minutes something else shiny will distract Scoble and the whole process will begin again.

Steven Hodson and myself tackle an entirely speculative subject today as to why Microsoft isn’t manufacturing its own computers. This is an unusual departure for us, but it was an interesting subject to tackle.
Stories mentioned in this podcast:
Should Microsoft be thinking about making their own PCs? – The Inquisitr
Episode 190: Apple Takes On Windows 7 – John Dvorak
Microsoft’s next step – MarketWatch
7 Reasons Why Microsoft Should Make PCs – Datamation

Steven Hodson and Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins do today’s show … albeit just a wee bit late. (notice when I host, we do it on time!) Today Google announced it was launching a real-time GPS for Android 2.0 today, and the GPS manufacturers Garmin and TomTom took massive hits to their stock values. Mark and Steve hash out how Google has turned into a 1,000-lbs gorilla and what this means for the future of markets Google may target.

Steven Hodson and myself discuss the fact that Google seems to be totally losing its brand identity. Is it a communications company? A video company? A storage company? Who knows! They used to be the kings of search, and now they seem to have no clue what they are.

Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and I once again go after Twitter, this time over the fact that it constantly forgets that it is a business, and businesses tend to, you know, make money.

Scattercast is 66 … and it’s getting drowsy.
- It’s a short one this week as I couldn’t stop yawning for anything … and fell asleep for 2 & 1/2 hours as soon as I finished recording. Oops.
- What was the media thinking with the coverage of Balloon Boy?
- What is Google Audio? No one seems to know for sure.
- What is BookServer, and could it change the e-book landscape?
- The new Mac lineup had some interesting new entries, but they’re still too expensive.
