No no fellow residents of southern Illinois, not tractor pulling, Tracker pulling. The Pirate Bay has pulled out the trackers. But that doesn’t mean you can’s download anything. The site’s still up for now using a different technology. Also Google’s book deal seems to have been changed but not enough to satisfy its opponents. And …

BOL 1107: Vote for us or the chicken gets it
The Podcast awards are on and we’re up against TWiT again, so we had to get drastic. We will no longer protect your chicken from Dokken if you don’t vote for us. So there. Also Psystar is no longer protected from Apple and Modern Warfare 2 is no longer available in Russia. Whew. So much …

Turns out when we blew up the Moon a few weeks ago we found water! Yay the bottled water companies are presumably planning their trips now. THIS is how we motivate us to get back tot he Moon! We also hear more from old man Murdoch on blocking Google from indexing his newspapers, and Dell …
BOL 1105: The New Testament of Torrents
I’m very pleased that LegalTorrents.com has come along to prove that I’m not crazy when I say there are plenty of legal reasons to use torrents. And they even have a torrent of Bible 2.0. Probably with new commandments from the MPAA. We also chat about AMD and Intel making nice, and how long that …

BOL 1104: Microsoft hides its hot new TV service
Bing has taken over MSN video and it has videos from every network. Why aren’t they trumpeting this? We also get really confused by Verizon’s unlimited plan that has a limit of 5GB. Does it? Doesn’t it? What the hell? And we debate the way Twitter retweets. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their …

BOL 1103: No cookies for you Europe
A new law in Europe protects all citizens from the evils of cookies. Instead of relying on people to operate their own browser, Europe now requires all websites to notify users that they will set cookies. That certainly sounds annoying. Come on over to our freedom-loving US sites, y’all! We also check in on Motorola …

BOL 1101: LHC-gull kills science with bread
Apparently the Large Hadron Collider is doomed. It can’t even survive a bread bombing by birds. The Droid arrived on the scene though, and people actually lined up. However tethering is gonna cost you on the thing. Are you still in love? And Gwen Stefan Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in their original audio …

BOL 1100: The Internet is a human right… in Europe
The European Commission has decided that every citizen has a right to the Internet but still made it fairly easy for the media industry to cut it off. We also see that Intel is in hot water again. And we ask that perennial question, why can’t I own a Canadian. And Google answers. Buzz Out …

BOL 1099: Secret ACTA treaty could break the Internet
Leaks from the secret negotiations of the ACTA treaty allege that ISPs worldwide would be required to lose safe harbor protections, implement three-strike anti-piracy policies and worse.
