I’ve been thinking about getting more into Second Life, but now I’m worried, not so much about losing all my time but losing all my money! The IRS has begun investigating MMORPG economies, and I fear its eye is on all those hoards of gold out there. Don’t virtually tread on me! Buzz Out Loud …

I knew there was a romantic in him somewhere: Steve Jobs says that if you want to impress the ladies, share your earbuds. Apparently sending tracks to them over Wi-Fi, like on the Zune, will have them running for the hills! I think he’s been hanging around Oprah too much. Buzz Out Loud episodes are …

Friday the 13th is a lucky day for Veronica as she gets the day off. That leaves us to deal with the new iPod, restrictive Vista license terms and poor unfortunately named uTube.com. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio form. Some metadata supplementation and/or correction has been done for SEO, clarification, …

We never said our titles had to make sense. It seems that China is taking steps to open up the Internet to their citizens. It’s unblocked most of Wikipedia, with the exception of a few vital bits of information. Also today, Sony is bringing back the MiniDisc. Nah, I’m just foolin’ ya! It’s the Walkman. …
We couldn’t resist that subject line. Anyhow, ICANN says it can’t comply with a court order to delete Spamhaus’s domain name, not because it wants to be difficult, but because it doesn’t have the authority to do so! Also today, pennies are the answer for higher DSL speeds–in my perfect world, anyway. Buzz Out Loud …

We just found out that Google is going to buy YouTube. We didn’t know that at the time of the recording, but we did make some predictions. Tune in to see who was wrong and who was so very right! Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio form. Some metadata supplementation and/or …
Someone has to buy YouTube eventually, right? Well, the rumor mill is churning today, and people are saying that Google is the most likely company to do just that. If you ask us, Google folks are doing it only to prove to Mark Cuban that they’re not morons. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in …

You heard it right! Tom and Molly are all excited, because AT&T is doing away with its DSL contracts. That’s the good news today. The bad news is that there’s a PS3 launch party in L.A., and we’re not invited. Was it something we said? Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio …

So now robots are learning from us how to play music? What’s stopping them from learning emotional cues so that they can better blend in with human society?
