On today’s show, we discover that he may not be a fan, but Rafe makes a mean Mario for Halloween. We give him a good sendoff with cake and bourbon as Brian Tong prepares to join the show. Oh, and there’s news: Facebook wants to try out peer-pressure ad targeting, Boxee gets some painkillers and …

BOL 1339: Bring back the rabbit ears!
It’s time to start a TV revolution: over-the-air and over-the-top. Join us, won’t you? And maybe someone can build the blog for us? In other news, Apple may be trying for a home run where Google struck out, with carrier-independent phone sales. And watch Oompa Loompas build the next Mars lander, live! –Molly Buzz Out …
BOL 1338: Avatar 2: The tree of money
The New Nook Color makes its debut: is it half a loaf or a half-bottle of wine? It’s a tortured set of analogies, but we hope you’ll get the point. Plus, big news about the show’s host lineup (welcome Brian Tong!), Spotify is in the news but still not in the U.S., and the white …
BOL 1337: It’s one thing to sniff the cookie…
It’s our long-awaited Nerd Show (i.e., episode 1337), and in my opinion, we rose to the occasion admirably. Our show covers everything from the iPhone security secret sequence to how to become a lazy hacker. Plus, WiFi Direct certification, a ghostly white iPhone sighting, and PAT vs. NAT. Again. — m011yW00t Buzz Out Loud episodes …

BOL 1336: Introducing the Nook hook
On today’s show, we’re predicting what Barnes and Noble will announce tomorrow for the Nook–early mockups seem to indicate a mystery hook on the bottom that could maybe, uh, attach to your belt-loop? Also, Google admits that the 600GB of data fragments it collected from its Street View cars might kind of, funnily enough, include …
BOL 1335: Everybody hates Google
Yikes: ABC, CBS, and NBC all block their content from Google TV. New Nook may be first color e-reader. iMovie says no fake Universal trailers for you. And we smash a rocket into the moon. On purpose! Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio form. Some metadata supplementation and/or correction has been …
BOL 1334: In which we fondle and drool over the MacBook Air
Apple giveth (the Ginsu Book) and then it taketh: We discuss a gaping security hole in FaceTime and Apple’s dis to Java developers. Also, GE launches hybrid lightbulb, Clearwire demos 100 gigabit LTE, and the mysterious space hot tub of Upsilon Andromedae b. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio form. Some …

BOL 1333:Introducing the Ginsu Air
Apple finally (round about the end of our show) gets around to its one more thing: a knife-edge MacBook Air that inexplicably lacks anything resembling a modern processor. Plus, Mac OS X goes all iOS on us. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab gets a price tag that doesn’t disappoint (shocker!) and Facebook deals with even more …
BOL 1332: Steve Jobs pitches a fit
In earnings call news, only Steve Jobs can give an earnings call this much drama: a five-minute rant on how Android isn’t open, but even if it was open, it would still fail, like that oh-so-open Microsoft Plays For Sure. (What?) Plus, the executive shakeups continue at Microsoft. –Molly Buzz Out Loud episodes are released …
BOL 1331: Of privacy and Blook Doodles
On today’s show, it’s a total Monday, so we devolve into nonsense words a little bit. It’s mostly to stave off our justified rage over Cablevision and News Corp.’s money-motivated, consumer-unfriendly standoff. In other news, Google offers personalized Doodles on your birthday, and Borders offers yet another manifesto outlet. –Molly Buzz Out Loud episodes are …
