Without Molly or Brian, CNET’s podcast of indeterminate length is commandeered by indeterminate hosts. CNET’s Donald Bell and Eric Franklin steer the Buzz Out Loud ship into the shark-infested waters of poached PayPal employees and Twitter CEOs. Plus, HTC is paying Microsoft for Android phones, the International Space Station reaches completion (sorta), and Mark Zuckerberg …

BOL 1476: The Oprah Browser
On today’s show, Apple responds to the Mac Defender concerns with a support forum and a promised OS X update, Google may announce mobile payments via NFC as early as tomorrow (Thursday), and Facebook might launch a music service with Spotify (but no, not in the U.S. — yet). Also, TiVo makes tons of money …
BOL 1475: I want my chicken and my Gaga
On today’s show, Apple stands up for its developers, but not for the people who might be infected with malware. Nice, Apple. Real nice. Also, Microsoft introduces Mango and Ballmer accidentally introduces Windows 8, and the Falun Gong sues Cisco. Yeah, really. And for a good reason, too. Buzz Out Loud episodes are released in …

BOL 1474: More pain for Sony
Sony is expecting $3.2 billion loss for its fiscal year and Sony’s BMG Greece music site is hacked revealing more customer data. Google’s idea of being a truly open platform goes through more growing pains and HP creates a whole new numbering system. That’s one plus for you my friends. Buzz Out Loud episodes are …
BOL 1473: Rapture at the Apple chapel
We all really hope this isn’t our last show ever, but if it is, we can apparently join a bunch of other Facebook hoodlum types and go loot the Apple store. Or, as one caller brilliantly renames them, the Apple Chapel. Also, sad news from China’s Foxconn Plant, Comcast continues its parade of breathtakingly evil …
BOL 1472: The Internet and the end of snow days

Also, LinkedIn’s IPO goes bonkers, Apple is close to signing all the necessary music labels to its hoped-for Amazon and Google killer, Kindle e-books outsell all print books on Amazon, and it …

BOL 1470: Amazon is bringing a quad-core tablet?…We hope.
Brian Cooley invades the studio! Bing uses your Facebook social graph to help you make better…Decisions. T-Mobile lets you make Wi-Fi calls for free, but that will probably go away if the merger with AT&T happens. Another reason not to like it. Plus, the Power Point versus Keynote debate rages on! Buzz Out Loud episodes …

BOL 1469: PlayStation Network: safe enough for America!
Sony is firing up the PlayStation Network again and most of America should have access by now. But the Japanese government says it won’t allow PSN back on in its country until Sony can ensure that it’s triple-dog-super-secure. Which, uh … I kind of want it to be that secure here, too, don’t you? Plus, …
