Between the legal drama playing out in the South Bay (Gizmodo raid! Dubious warrants! Potential counter-suits!) and the latest developments in the Infinity Ward/Activision internal drama (Involuntary labor! Withholding royalties and bonuses!), it’s pretty much the Days of our Lives around here. Also, no Hulu in the UK, and Comcast gets a big, steaming pile …
Episodes will be released daily (as long as we can keep up on it).
BOL 1215: Law & Order: Lost Prototypes Unit
Dun DUN! Police break down the door of a Gizmodo editor’s house looking for evidence of some sort of crime involving the lost iPhone prototype … meanwhile, Nokia has to kind of pathetically blog about how someone took a prototype of the Nokia N8 and they would really, really like it back. It’s a weird …

BOL 1214: Floppy disks and boobquakes
Natali Del Conte joins us in the studio to discuss really important issues such as boobquake day, cartoons, and violent video games. Oh, come on, we also discuss Google’s failed attempts to reinvent the mobile phone sales paradigm, unfounded causal links between violent video games and sociopathic behavior, and the dangers of colonization. Good show, …
BOL 1213: No iPad for you!
Is this the ultimate early adopter penalty? If you buy more than two iPads to send to your friends overseas or give to your family, you risk a lifetime ban on future purchases? That just can’t be right. Also not right: the sweet little child who calls tell us how to get porn on the …
BOL 1212: No no no no no. No. No.
On today’s show, a perfectly innocent-sounding caller makes a terrifying suggestion, McAfee bricks a whole lot of computers all at once, including like 1,000 inside a hospital, and Dell (no, seriously, Dell) is apparently making some seriously drool-worthy phones. Rrrowwwrrr. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio form. Some metadata supplementation and/or …
BOL 1211: Adobe quits Apple
Adobe says it’s taking its ball and getting off that dumb old Apple platform altogether. Apple says, hey, we super totally don’t care because we’re making bajillions of dollars and plan to continue doing so in the near future. But the ones who really suffer here are the children, who can’t code on the iPad …
BOL 1210: Hug a n00b
Ubisoft is doing away with paper manuals, which means gaming n00bs will be forever stuck in virtual corners trying to figure out the right button combination for re-load. Also, Apple wants its secret iPhone back and Molly just wants you to know that next time you find a top-secret prototype in a bar, you should …
BOL 1209: So this iPhone 4G walks into a bar…
The HTC Droid Incredible is available for pre-order, and no lie, we drooled a little bit over it. We also uncover the Google conspiracy to rid the world of http://. But the weirdest of all was our discussion of the dramatic weekend rumor mill involving the purported iPhone 4G found on a bar in either …

BOL 1208: Good News Friday marred by Bad News
We tried so hard to enjoy various good news items today, like how the DirecTV TiVo is coming in 2010, Sony is climbing up the game console sale charts, and the tech sector is finally hiring again and making money and stuff! But … you know. There’s also Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in …

BOL 1207: Dropping the EFF bomb on the RIAA and MPAA
Warning: contains strong language (that will be bleeped by the time you hear this), but we frankly couldn’t help ourselves when we saw the stuff the RIAA and MPAA want to do to your computers, border guards, the FBI, and Homeland Security. It ain’t good. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio …
