This week: We let loose with the sexual innuendos as Butch talks about the "I Want Sandy" service. Naturally it devolves into one gigantic rathole where we cover all sorts of stuff including the writers' strike, video games vs. television, and cars that run Windows. (aieee!)

This week: It's Thanksgiving for us Americans, so we were pretty low key this week. We talk about the new gOS as well as the Linux based Eee laptop that's taking the Net by storm; cool James Bond-like spy gadgets that are becoming reality; and why you might want to be wary when going into a Disneyland ride.

This week: We here at NWD HQ are always looking to break new ground, and so this week we try our first out-of-the-studio LIVE recording. Actually we were coming home from a weekend getaway but didn't make it home in time for NWD, so we had to find a Starbucks with wifi in the middle of nowhere to record from. That's dedication for you! (PS: No there wasn't a bird loose in the Starbucks; that chirping noise you hear periodically was my Twitter notification going off, which I forgot to exclude from the audio recording. D'oh!)

Tonight was all Google. Well, almost all, we rat holed a bit. Well, more than a bit. Anyway, we picked Google as out hero of the week because they give us such cool things to talk about. And also our villain since they seem to be everywhere. And that scares us.
