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!
In this episode, Steven and I take a look at the new Verizon ads which, well they’re just funny and making AT&T look sillier and sillier. Here was my favorite of the two.
We also discuss the silliness of how Microsoft employees seem to turn into Mac evangelists once they leave the company. And, of course, what is an episode without some talk about Twitter? And fourth story for the night … Italy is getting nasty with YouTube … in a completely silly fashion and one that may not be entirely legal.

In this episode, Steven and I talk about baking your video card in the oven when you have a problem with it.
No … we’re not kidding.
We also address the Amazon/Macmillan dispute, and how it’s obvious publishers have no idea what they’re doing. (links by Steven)

In this episode, Steven and I do our new weekly game of going through the TechMeme headlines and … well … making fun of them. It’s a thing.
We also take a moment to see how people are spending money on Blippy, and Steven has some comments about a post by MG Siegler over at TechCrunch.(links by Steven) Oh, and P.S. … expect some big things next week!
Scattercast is 80 … and getting senile as I call it episode 79 in the intro.
- An hour and 15 minutes of Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and I talking the state of sci-fi movies.
- We start off with some talk of what happened with Conan O’Brien, and if you hear a blip early on in the episode, that was me editing out a technical error.

In this episode, Steven and I talk about Jason Calacanis punking the media, how Amazon & Apple are making money hand over fist, how I might have figured out Steve Jobs ingenious plan to make money and get press coverage 12 months a year. We wrap it up with a lot of speculation about Windows 8. (links by Steven)

In this episode, Steven and I talk about … oh, what was it … some big techie thing … oh yeah, the iPad. While we are somewhat positive about the device, we also tear it apart a bit … I’m still pondering buying one.

In this episode, Steven and I talk about Twitter and the numbers that suggest not as many people are using it as you may think … and we wonder why it matters. (links by Steven)

In this episode, Steven and I actually praise Robert Scoble for a moment … and then my tongue starts to burn from the concept of actually praising him for once. We then leap over to one of the biggest examples we’ve ever seen of people sharing on social networks just because of the name of the blog attached to it.

In this episode, Steven and I discuss how “free” may have a rough year in 2010. Oracle bought Sun, which could mean bad things MySQL, an open source database system that powers all WordPress blogs along with many other Web applications. Also, Hulu is going to start charging, and while Steven and I have different readings on how this will work, both ways seem iffy to us. (links by Steven)

In this episode, Steven and I discuss that we are made of money. Well, that seems to be the attitude of companies everywhere as they try to set up subscription service after subscription service to nickel and dime us all to death. Somehow old media is getting the business on the Internet all wrong, and are floundering around for a solution which in the mean time is annoying your average user. (links by Steven)

In this episode, Steven and I discuss our favorite subject … TWITTER!
- For some weird reason, Loren Feldman (@1938media) has declared open Twitter war on Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer). I’m not Scoble’s biggest fan, but yikes!
- I go off on a rant about how 3.5% per month growth rate is still impressive by any measure.
- Bill Gates (@billgates) is now on Twitter … even money says all he discusses will be charity work.
Scattercast is 80 … and getting senile as I call it episode 79 in the intro.
