This week’s TWiT looks good, very good! Our fine hosts this run around are of course Leo and Patrick, Dvorak, Steve Gibson, Robert Heron, David Prager, and of course Roger Chang. I tend to like the TWiTs with more people, adds some life to the podcast. This week is the first in what will hopefully be a regular trend; having special guests on the show, including Bob Young, former CEO of Red Hat, founder of Lulu.com, Mike Lazazzera (also known as The Man Lazazz over at Command-N) of Call For Help. Definitely looks like fun!
I’ve heard more than a few people bemoaning the presence of John C Dvorak on the podcasts, pining for the days when he couldn’t get a stable voice connection to everyone else so they didn’t have to listen to him. The fact that the first “topic” in the episode notes for this week is “Dvorak and Gibson nearly come to blows over HTML email” isn’t really exciting in that regard. I can’t imagine anyone arguing FOR HTML email, but maybe Dvorak is that guy. Or maybe it’s Gibson. Who knows, I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, but I’ll get back to you.
Also on topic this week are issues like the hacking of OS X to make it run on any PC, AOL giving away the loot of a spammer who settled a legal battle with them out to their users, Apple’s woes patenting the iPod interface, what happened to DiggNation (you’ll have to listen to both podcasts to find out!), more updates on the new live TWiT recordings, and much much more! Enjoy!
