In this episode we discuss what happened at the Apple event last week. We talk about the new firefox and the new flash player. We introduce you to a 3d webcam, a vibrating glove for your pet, and a site that helps you remember those word that just stay on the tip of your tongue. We shocase Vudu as well as a whole bunch of application launchers, most of them for windows. Also, why we should not stop believing in Vista.

I just got Journey out of my head yesterday after 4 days of “Don’t Stop Believing” on repeat
…And then I read this description.
Thanks, guys. Even more reason to avoid Vista like the plague!
@Midori:
Well, supposedly listening to the whole song helps get it unstuck from one’s head.
Also, Vista really isnt that bad. It has a lot of cool stuff, sure it had its fault, but it is definitely an improvement over XP.
