Contracast Episode 17: The one without music

Since this episode is late, and has no intro music (the mixing software I use got updated for Windows 7, and now works better in some areas, and WAY WORSE in others), I present the annotated show notes. No "We talked about things and stuff" this week, friends, this week we talked about THESE things and THAT stuff. See for yourself below.

News: Some talk about "Lie to Me", Gizmodo reviews the Apple "Magic Mouse", Blackberry Storm 2 units begin to arrive at stores, 10 Things you should know about Apple's new products


Link: Ikea Hacker

App: Dungeon Hunter Review by Touch Arcade, and "A Pocket full of Diablo"- Dungeon Hunter review by Kotaku

Topics: Call of Duty Matchmaking service will reshape the industry, An improvement over dedicated servers says IW. Motorola Droid impressions, Motorola Calgary is cheap and "Blur(ry)". Also Bluetooth headsets. They're annoying.

We're back (in the saddle again), and with a vengeance. Tonight's topics range from the new Call of Duty, to my new iPod Touch, to Basshunter. Its a bit of a mess, but hey, so is the floor. The hosts are of course myself, and also Mike and Lee. Until we get a more concrete recording time the host lineup is gonna be crazy, but we'll get it worked out.

Good episode this week, breaking the show in to 2 segments this time, a news portion and a topics/discussion portion. This week in news we covered MORE news about the ZuneHD (honestly, not gonna stop until its out), the Apple Tablet, The texting while driving issue, and rumors from John Gruber of Daring Fireball. In topics we discuss GDGT.com, the film District 9, and the debate on gdgt about whether the N64 is the best console ever.

The New Contracast Blog!

Yes, it will still be available on my website, but in an effort to make RSS easier for iTunes and Zune it just makes sense to set up another blog. If you don't care one way or the other about the other posts, by all means, just use Contracast!
