Tech Snark

Apple sued over iPod/iTunes compatibility. Stop whining, jerk face!

Finally, a video game is credited for helping to save a life instead of screwing one up!

Time Warner is run by a bunch of idiots.

WACKY GADGETS:
1. Lightsaber light fixtures…..NERDS.
2. Laser Target Alarm clock.
3. Fashion…TAZERS?

This week’s episode is brought to you by NyQuil, Kleenex Brand Tissues and the letter Q!

The ladies are joined by former producer Commander Tim with their recap of this year’s Macword Keynote speech and all the new products featured. They also talk about the latest game reviewer to leave GameSpot.

Carolyn uses the power of NyQuil in this week’s Snark of the Week and why the XBox Live class action lawsuit has no merit. And that they’re a bunch of whiners.

The ladies round out the show with listener mail and Wacky Gadgets!

1. Nerds sue over XBOX outage.
2. That’s right, he’s taking his blog and going home… yet another reviewer leaves Gamespot in the wake of “Gerstmann Gate” and for some reason the dyslexic in me wants to keep on calling him “Gertsmann”.

Wacky Gadgets:
Another computer desk? I simply won’t stand for it!
Dear inventors of icky tings. Please stop! Now!
The greatest wooden gadget ever made since the invention of– err, that one thing with the ping-pong paddle and the rubber ball. We want one of these for the office, please!

This week, the girls talk about a number of topics including college students getting paid to sniff poop (when will we ever tire of this subject?), the “softer side of spyware” at Sears and karaoke on the iPhone (amongst other things!).

All three girls are well-adjusted and satisfied with life this week, but sadly this means no SOTW for this episode. However, you can make the pain go away with some Wacky Gadgets!

Don’t forget to email us your favorite moments from past episodes for our one year special in February! If you don’t, we’ll be forced to splice together 36 episodes of Jennifer cackling to use in it’s place. I don’t think anybody needs that!

1. Come see the spyware side of Sears!
2. Are we ready for Karoke on the iPhone? How about… iDon’t Think So!

Wacky Gadgets:
Honk If You’re Nerdy!
“Bang bang!”… “Bang-bang!”
The only toy that acts like a marital aid and a party favor all in one.

This week, we try not to talk about poop.

Instead, we talk about AT&T’s “naked” DSL service, gaming on an Eee PC, our most anticipated games of 2008 and the “oopsie” (or FAIL) of the week goes to a bad review of Mass Effect.

We read your emails and also bring you the week’s Wacky Gadgets. We’re also joined in studio by Commander Tim of the Commander Tim Cast for some truly nerdy talk about upgrading your PC.

Send us some email - especially for our 1-year anniversary special! We need your favorite clips! techsnark@gmail.com

3. Oopsie of the Week: Hello, I’m a video game reviewer for a fancy news source! Uh, how do these game things work again?

Wacky Gadgets:
Lets never put these things into our eyes, ever.
I’m looking over… overlooking clover!
Hypercolor toilet seats, because the shirts weren’t disgusting enough in the 80s.

Better late than never!

It’s the end of the year and the girls are back with another great episode. They talk about top 10 lists, why the Kindle sucks, a pill that makes you poop like Midas and (of course!) Wacky Gadgets.

Carolyn takes on this week’s Snark of the Week with her tale of the new Gmail and how she likes it. And by “likes it” we mean she hates it.

As always, we love your emails! techsnark@gmail.com

HUGE thanks to Cheryl J. from Pownce for our holiday theme music this week, former Producer Tim for his best Rod Roddy impersonation in our intro and the live studio audience. Ok, perhaps there was no live studio audience, but we thank our audience in general!

Happy Holidays, everyone!
