Lord, more dumbassed moralizing about Apple, and not a fucking clue or thought among them.

Also, John's levels were really high, we didn't catch it until well into post. Sorry about that.

Macworld 2010

Just a reminder for everyone: we will be recording (not streaming) the next episode live on the Macworld Main Stage on Friday at 5:00. For the terminally oblivious, this means that this week's episode will be delayed. We hope to have it up quickly after Friday, but let's face it: we're going to be hella drunk.

For those who are coming to the show. John and Peter are already on the ground, and I'll be flying in Wednesday night. See ya' there!

Episode 46 is up!

Still more iPad stupidity, and a special, special gift for everyone who listens to the whole show.

(and yes, Peter's volume levels were all over the place, that kind of freaked out WTS's remove silence stuff so he's clipped sometimes. it'll be fixed for the next episode.)

Audio Complaint Number 15,702

Re: this.

You know, I am truly fucking sorry that this free fucking podcast can't live up to your lofty expectations. It's not like I haven't spent hundreds of dollars of my own (understand this you fucking assholes, this is not sponsor money I'm talking about) money on ever-increasingly better equipment. I'm so fucking sorry that I'm forced to deliver this free entertainment to you ungrateful fuck-heads out of my non-audio-optimized office.

Seriously, I thought I was doing you assholes a favor by trading my in my admittedly overly compressed headset mic (MSRP $80.00, again out of my own pocket) for one of the most expensive podcast mics on the market.

Apparently, though, I was mistaken. I mean, what sort of asshole was I to not eliminate even the slightest echo. I'm going to run out right now and buy the 1000 square feet of acoustic foam that will ensure that none of you ever have to endure the hideous inconvenience of a small bit of echo.

Please accept my abject apologies . I'm such a douchebag for trying to entertain you ungrateful fucktards without delivering the full Dolby Digital experience.

Mea culpa...mea culpa.
