Microsoft shows Pink (sort of), MMS disaster, er, feature about to launch on iPhone, Wii gets price cut, Archos new Win7 tablet looks great – too bad nobody will notice, and MIT has a synthetic eyeball on the way that amazes us. Oh yeah… and about that cuddle party. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released …

BOL 1068: You can’t survive the stink!
AT&T let’s you pay for their network holes, Chrysler puts auto manuals on DVD (and how are you supposed to use that in the car?), MySpace says it’s video portal now, USB 3.0 is here, Europe gives Google a green light to sell ads to the black marketers, and when you’re dead on the web, …

BOL 1067: Pre-roll is the new Rick Roll
A listener reports that NFL.com subjected him to a 75-second pre-roll ad. Not funny, NFL. In the news today, the FCC proposes codifying Net neutrality rules, and much as we’d love to leave it to the market and the telcos, well, we just don’t trust the telcos. Rules, FTW! Unless it’s rules on selling energy-hog …

BOL 1066: Tin Foil Phones
We finally get to the bottom of why Apple rejected the Google Voice App, how not to get caught for being a thief over Facebook, and we have plenty of sympathy for Palm.

BOL 1065: HP is full of stupid

BOL 1063: Buzzed Out Loud
Lots of stories with buzz today, including a new Archos Android tablet, the launch of Zune HD and voice chat on Facebook. Of course Joe the pilot in Honolulu sent us some good old fashioned Phillipino Whiskey and Rum. So Cooley makes us pause and do a tasting. Poor Natali gets left out though. Sad. …
BOL 1062: 3-way 4G
T-Mobile’s parent company is considering buying Sprint Nextel meaning we’d only have three big cell phone companies in the US. But in a weird way that could be good for competition? We’re not sure ourselves actually. Also a rogue ad hits the New York Times and we discover Pirates only see in 2D. Eye-patch FTW! …
BOL 1061: It all started with a pumpkin scone
Natali has an internal Twitter dialogue about whether to let the world know that the last pumpkin scone has been sold. The Zune HD will only be available in the US, and Facebook launches a lite version of the site sans apps. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio form. Some metadata …
