Why buy the Lordship when you can just choose the title from the drop-down? Also on the show today, Black Hat 2008 shatters our faith in all that is technology (just like it does every year) and we engage in a lively discussion about the relative crappiness of the apps on the App Store, as …

Details are leaking out on a post-Windows OS from Microsoft code-named Midori that would use virtualization and the cloud to manage your computing life.

Here at Buzz Out Loud, we are shamelessly attempting to launch a meme, based on the awesome Twitter ramblings of a guy stoned off his gourd at the dentist. Quick, somebody make a Caf? Press shirt!
