Don’t Make Me Feel Special

Posted on November 13, 2012

Doling out the brutal truth that no matter where you choose to get your news there will always be inaccuracies, so having a constant skeptical eye is a requirement.

I rant about Best Buy’s price-matching strategy for combatting showrooming, how it’s laughable they’re investing in training their employees about Windows 8, and ultimately why their customers are choosing to do business with Amazon instead (it’s not all about price!).

In addition, I jump on the bandwagon to discuss the Republican’s Election Day failures yet admit their IT troubles are actually commonplace in every company’s IT department across the world. Finally, I stand up for Twitter in the debate on whether or not news that breaks on the platform has any journalistic integrity.

Throw It All Into One Box & I’ll Buy It

Posted on October 10, 2012

Doling out the brutal truth that majority of the public views intelligence as an attribute of elitism because they’d rather hold on to their stupid incorrect beliefs rather than admit they’re wrong.

I rant about Lenovo’s new line of Windows 8 tablet/laptop hybrids and why the concept is dead on arrival, Twitter’s foray into personal video sharing, Linkedin publishing content by “influencer” windbags, the inevitable demise of Feedburner, and why Pandora’s released figures on artist payouts doesn’t tell the whole story.

In addition, I shed some light on the recent NFL referee controversies, share highlights of my trip to Dollywood (a.k.a. Redneck Disneyland) and the stupid shit I would do if I had a few billion dollars.

I’m Always Going To Opt-In For Bacon

Doling out the brutal truth that no one really cares about innovation if it changes their habits no matter how slight.

Continuing with my awful decision to let any guest on the show, Frank Angelone of this shitty podcast joins me to hold an intervention for Microsoft as we discuss their new logo, the psychological purchasing differences between computers and phones, explaining PC specs to morons and why Windows 8 may be the biggest boon for Macs.

In addition, we rant that normal people will never care about App.net nor the Apple v. Samsung verdict, how social media for brands is just a big dick-waving contest, and I launch into a massive diatribe on how eBay auctions are just smoke and mirrors and that every person on Craigslist is a scumbag.
