Teoma ? Clusty ? All the Web ? What do they spend the money on? Google's free Wi-Fi network? IM? Why is Yahoo spending a billion on a Chinese venture? Steve says Google engineers say Yahoo works better Part of Google's success is aesthitic - we love the clean white page Kevin likes the new MSN Home Page - using Ajax Dvorak.org/home.htm is Dvorak's home page Now that we've reached widespread broadband access who needs text only pages The FCC's broadband definition is bogus Where is the fast DSL the telcos promised us? Is Cisco holding out on us with 100 mbit DSL? Norton's patching bad copper with a visegrip Verizon's FIOS is all for show Come to our first live show at the SF Apple Store, 9/4 at 4p - come for the TWiT pocket protector Kevin wants something cooler. Like a coin purse. We extend an invitation to Martin Sargent Shilo from Zanesville, OH is looking for free music for his podcast. Try opsound.org. Creativecommons.org. Jeffrey from the Netherlands asks about the future of user interfaces Dvorak says it's like the automobile, now that we know how to use computers they're not going to change Leo says Jef Raskin's Archy is very cool How about voice recognition? It's not going to happen says Dvorak Scansoft owns Dragon Dictate and ViaVoice. Kevin from ivroots.com asks about IPTV Dvorak's got a newsletter about it IPTVDaily.com Patrick is doing a weekly IPTV show with Ziff-Davis IPTV is already in place around the world in countries that don't have cable Sweden's got it MythTV and Akimbo are attempting to make IPTV more friendly Dvorak offers to sell TWiT to Infinity Radio for $5 million Andy in Phoenix asks whether John gets spam. Andy, John gets NO spam. Lucky Phil in Sydney needs a BitTorrent client that doesn't set off alarms with his ISP. Any suggestions? Kariand Les of the The Signal podcast love the Firefly theme song. We still hate it. Randall from Charlestown, WV says his federal job won't allow USB devices. Is there an MP3 player that doesn't use USB? Hmmm. Leo promises to annnounce the winners in our name contest next Sunday. Finally. Dvorak wants to give away his old cables at the live shows. All geeks have a cable drawer. Puffy wonders about Internet security suits. We say build your own from free software like: AVG Anti-virus or Antivir, Microsoft's anti-spyware, Spybot, and Adaware.
