Welcome to the fourth 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!
Steven and Mark discuss days that don’t go well, and then they get down to some discussing of behaviroral ads, based around this post today over at SiliconANGLE. They don’t see eye-to-eye, but as with all Cynical Bastard discussions, they aren’t that far apart even while being on opposite sides.

Steven and I go on an Apple run tonight, discussing a ton of Apple related stories, and only went seven minutes over the usual 20 minute run time! Yay us! Here are links (thanks, Steven) to all of the things we discussed tonight, as you can see it is a quite a boat load!

Mark and I discuss the controversy over the “Should the President Be Killed?” poll on Facebook that took the blogosphere by storm today. While we didn’t really have a problem with the actual blogs written about the poll, but the comments people were leaving that suggested this poll was some sort of Secret Service sting, or perhaps a Jewish conspiracy … if you listen closely, you can hear me hitting my forehead on the keyboard through out this episode over the stupidity.

Mark and Steven set out to discuss new advancements at Microsoft (which they get to eventually), but not before they take a swipe at a guest post at TechCrunch by Shelby Bonnie, which somehow involves discussing how much I blog and what an idiot I am for doing it. (I wasn’t even on the show to defend myself!)

Mark and Steven take a look at Google Sidewiki and discuss if it is a good or bad thing for the blogosphere. Both of them take slightly different angles at it, and to be honest, I would have had a third angle to look at. Very much a worthwhile episode to listen to and get so more thoughts on this unexpected new product from Google.

Steven and I take a look at what is possibly going to happen with President Obama and the newspaper industry. Long story short … the government really needs to stay out of this whole thing.

Mark and I tackle the FCC announcing its net neutrality plans, and while I start off being in favor of it, I have to admit Mark changed my mind some. (Which killed my post idea for today… Darn him!) Give it a listen though and hear what we think the real solution is.

Steven and I are back at it tonight (how did I end up doing four of these in a row?!?), and we’re talking about the news that Twitter now has a valuation of $1 billion. Will Twitter last long enough to ever reach that amount? It might … if it can become part of the “plumbing” of the Internet.

For this episode, Mark rises from the primordial ooze that was two solid days of TechCrunch50 coverage. So what did he like, what did he hate? He lays it all out for you while I grunt a lot in agreement and shake my head at the stupidity that some people try to pass off as a “startup”. If this episode has an alternate title, it would be “It’s all about the evites, baby!”

For this episode, Steven and I again take up the mics (since Mark is a big ole wuss!), and Steven and I take a harsh look at the new Google product, Fast Flip. Yeah … we aren’t fans. We spell out our reasons in the show, but we really take issue with the whole concept.
Scattercast is 62 … and yes, this is an all original episode despite the title.
