What's that? It hasn't even been 3 months since the last podcast, and already a new one? Your eyes don't deceive you. This week, Nathan, Alex, Alan and Gordon discuss all of last week's big news, including HP dropping the Touchpad, Steve Jobs resigning from Apple, a few major product announcements, and more. Download Episode 178 of The No BS Podcast for all that, plus reader questions and Gordon's rant of the week.

I stopped listening for a while so I could build up a back log of episodes to listen to on the way to work. Well, now I'm caught up (it sadly didn't take long). Get crackin' on some new episodes guys! Please.

When's the new podcast? This is supposed to be my medication! I'm now going through withdrawal.

It's kind of entertaining listening to Gordon argue. He has absolutely no skill in arguing whatsoever. He doesn't know how to listen and respond to the opposing views. Gordon just argues what he thinks is right and uses whatever "example" that pops in his head.
This could've been an epic argument but Gordon made it into a childish "blah blah blah~ I'm right, you're wrong."
Gordon! Please don't just hear the opposing views but listen! Only then will your arguments have more impact. In your own mind you may think you're being successful in delivering your point of view, but in reality it's having an opposite effect. =/

I swear Gordon needs a better straight man for his rant. Nathan just doesn't have it, Gordon is on his own out there.
Here is the classic "Who's on first" Performed by Gordon and Nathan (BTW: Nathan no I did not forget the ? after Who's on first ;) )
Gordon: Who's on first
Nathan: I don't know
Gordon: Idontknow is on third
Nathan: are you impliying that the first baseman is an Asian American named Who?
Gordon: **sigh** yes. :(

Sure "SingleTech."
Nathan, I knows it's you! I checked the IP address and this comes from inside our very building!
BTW, blah, blah, blah, I'm not listening.

Some good points. I have to agree that Steve Jobs lead Apple out of the woods but I think he is one of a rare breed and that Apple will miss him. It will take looking back to see it from a few years out however.
As for the podcast itself, can you guys say more than a few paragraphs with out saying Fu^%in this or Fu*&%n that? Do you not have the vocabulary to argue your point without sounding like 14 year olds?

That was entertaining.
I think it would be interesting to hear Sr. Ed. Ung argue with some serious Apple pundit. I imagine it would likely escalate into a lot of shouting, though ;)

Hillary's 'sherpa' was Tenzing Norgay. He is quite well known.
On the Jobs resigning front, I am definitly not an Apple fanboy, by ANY stretch of the imagination, but you've got to give credit where its due. Gordon by even his own standards was being rather petulant.
Cheers,
Richard.

It's shaping up to be another three months before we hear these guys again. So they built a podcasting sound booth and now they don't hardly ever do podcasts anymore. What a trajic waste of time and money. At this rate it was cheaper to use skype. At least skype got used. That recording booth just collects dust and neither skype or the booth get used now.
You know every week there is another episode of the Gun Dudes Podcast, its like the mail, nothing stops those guys. Over a 160 podcasts without a single week missed. Sure they are short but damn they are every week. If you say your going to do a weekly podcast then do it. Don't sit around and brag and call it the weekly NoBSPodcast because it isn't regular at all.
Now you guys know that I'm a long, long, long time fan, I mean how many men take the latest copy of MaximumPC magazine into the hospital delivery room so that photos can be taken with that issue right after the baby is born, I did.
I understand that you guys are not required to do the podcast and that you do it just for fun, but you guys have fans that you have built up and you have told us it would be a weekly podcast. If your going to stop the podcast then stop doing it and tell us. Don't string us along.

One day, Gordon and Nathan will come to blows. When that day comes, I am looking forward to the Photo (Video) Awsome. Alan, Alex, we are counting on you guys!
