Apple wants to ban the use of the word pod, because it doesn’t want consumers to have brand confusion. So henceforth, because not everyone uses iTunes to listen to our show, we’ll be known as the mp3-cast of indeterminate length. Wow, that sounds terrible. Thanks, Apple–thanks a lot. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in …
Episodes will be released daily (as long as we can keep up on it).

Microsoft is putting the power into the user’s hands: first, by letting them design games for XBOX Live, and then by designing a free blog editing program that can be used with a lot of different blogging platforms.

BuzzCast 08/10/2006 – NASA lost moon landing tapes

Intel explodes onto the Apple scene
It’s day three without Veronica, and, well, she didn’t miss much out of WWDC. All the wild rumors of televisions and iPhones and video iPods turned out to be, as expected, wild rumors. But hey, Apple’s all Intel now, so that’s something. In other news, Time Warner is sorry for saying it won’t support TiVo …
We got your WWDC keynote right here
