August '08 Tech News Update from the Best Damn Tech Show, Period.

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:15:05 GMT

News Ex-Google engineers launched the new search engine Cuil www.cuil.com to ho-hum reviews amidst a massive PR release. With it's slick interface and huge index they may have been expecting more but its poor search results, many have written it off already. To give you an example, a search for the "Best Damn Tech Show" bring up a Wikipedia result in the top spot that links you to a page that doesn't even exist. Nice one. Friend of the Tech Show, Ted Stevens the longest serving senator in congress has been brought up on charges (7 counts on failing to disclose - not for being a douche as most people thought). For those who are not sure who he is, we give you a listen to his "series of tubes" insight among some of his Tedisms. Our friend Jon Stewart over at our partner broadcaster Comedy Central also offers some Teddy greatest hits. http://blog.indecision2008.com/2008/07/30/top-5-daily-show-ted-stevens-moments/ Iris on the Virus Apple gets pie in the face from security researchers over a failure to act on patching serious DNS BIND flaw. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/29/apple_dns_patch_mia/ Schmidt Faced Gary Vaynerchuck has been ignoring Schmidt and he finally offers up his explanation...he's been busy. In typical Schmidt fashion, he thinks he's being ignored (which is a more likely case anyway) and spurs his alcohol-induced rant.

One of the biggest stories over the past couple of weeks is the RIAA's victory over Jammie Thomas who was ordered her to pay the recording industry $220,000 in damages. Stories from the jury (who deliverated for only 5 minutes before coming up with a decision) are coming out, most of them are admiddedly not savvy net users and didn't believe her IP spoofing story. One of the Jurors wanted to send a message "that you don't do this, that you have been warned."Meanwhile, a support account has been set up on Freejammie.com which crashed as a result of so many users wanting to donate to her cause but is now back up and has collected some $9000. She is appealing. A hack is now available to add more functionality to the iPod touch, utilizing the Wifi capabilities. Not sure why it wasn't Apple, potentially licencing restrictions. http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ipod-touch-now-running-mail-and-more/ IRIS ON THE VIRUS CrudWare dude fined $25k for pushing his Crud BEST DAMN GUEST We sit down with Alive in Baghdad SCMIDT FACED Schmidt loves Madonna...not sure if Madonna feels the same way...

With the big TV analog switch-off scheduled soon, the FCC has revised the rules for using the 700Mhz spectrum. Google wants to keep these airwaves open and the FCC has agreed stating that there can be no restrictions on the devices and services allowed on the network. Good stuff. Google has pledged $4.6 billion for the lot which, if they stick with their current business methodology, could mean free wireless (and good wireless) for all (maybe with a few ads thrown in.) Elton John is also having a say (surprise, surprise) possibly as a result of seeing declining album sales for his 'Captain and the Kid'. He is calling for the ban of the Internet to "see what sort of art is produced over that span". http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/eltons-war-on-the-web/2007/08/02/1185648044623.html SCHMIDT FACED Popular preteen hangout Club Penguin has been snapped up by Disney for around $350 mill.
