Said holiday period also meant that news was thin so Me, Thom, Tess and David discuss Snow Leopard, the EULA issue and then proceed to the issue of cloud computing, what constitutes 'user-friendly' and whether Linux really is easier or more difficult to use than Windows or Mac. Due to some recording issues, sound levels are not perfect and I hope to resolve that next week.

We lay down our own Apple histories and 'geek cred', discuss [unavoidably] the iPhone and AppStore, what should be done about it but move onto bigger things like the 'Apple Tablet', Apple's changing trends in design and what each of us would do if we got the call to be CEO of Apple. This show was a lot of fun to record, and we hope you enjoy it, Apple fan or hater alike.

Now it's the pirates vs. the clones or more technically The Pirate Bay and Mac Clones with a bit of HTML5 Video and Linux inbetween. No music this time again as the show is late, and some changes to the recording method (mentioned in the show) that made the edit take longer. Pirates vs. Ninjas has already been decided.

Appropriately, we discuss old software, our dissatisfaction with netbooks, and Windows 7's pricing.
