October was a scary busy month for Tech (Halloween pun totally intended). Manning and "womening" episode 191 of the No BS podcast are Editor Josh Norem, Editor-in-Chief Katherine Stevenson, Online Managing Editor Jimmy Thang, and Deputy Editor Gordon Mah Ung. This time around the crew tackles a wide variety of topics that include:
- The Razer Blade gaming laptop
- Microsoft's Surface and Windows 8 launch
In addition to covering a whole smorgasbord of topics, we're debuting a new segment called "Picks of the Week" which allow us to share our favorite games, apps, and gadgets. We share because we care (Ah, aren't we sweet?). Here are our individual picks this time around:
Picks of the Week
Katherine: Qualys BroswerCheck – Scan your web browser for vulnerabilities in the browser or its plug-ins, then easily fix whatever issues it finds.
Gordon: Gas Buddy app – Find cheap gas anywhere you go with this free app for Android, Blackberry and iPhone.
Josh: Convert a 3TB drive to GPT to access its full capacity.
If you have a drive that is larger than 2TB, Windows might not be able to recognize the extra capacity. You can access the full capacity on one partition though if you convert the disk from MBR to GPT. This video shows you how easy it is.
Jimmy: League of Legends – A super popular MOBA game that Jimmy dares to say is better than Valve's Dota 2.

So Gordon's pick was so that he could blind people like he does in BF3?

I've been a long time reader. My very first Maximum PC purchase was the one with an Alienware on the cover back when they didn't have custom cases. It was this super tall tower case. Anyway. I've always loved you guys. But damn, Gordon needs to get off Apple. It seems every podcast he has to rant about it. I stopped listening to the podcast because of it. I had started listening and three podcasts in succession featured him nagging about Apple for what felt like an hour. We get it, man, you hate Apple and anyone and everyone who buys their products is an idiot. OK. Can we move on? Why are you bringing them up anyway? Did someone at Apple urinate in your cereal? It makes no sense why you would hate them so much. Whatever. I don't care frankly about your reasoning. But I'm hear to listen to you guys. Not listen to you make a weird voice and moan about Apple. Heck man, make your own podcast. "Moan and Groan with GMU." How about that? You can do your voice and everything. But please... let me enjoy your podcast. Save the voice. Just forget about Apple. And cover the news and releases. And before you think I'm an Apple fanboy, I'm not dude. Don't moan and groan about me now. It could be any company. It could be UNICEF. It could be Darth Vader. It's not about whom you're moaning about, it's the moaning itself that's the problem. Thanks.

For the love of God, Gordon, don't listen to a word of bob99's advice! If anything, the Rant needs more time and detailed vitriol, like in the old days! Sure, it doesn't always have to be about Apple (though they make it so easy) and there are others in the industry in need of your withering criticism. But don't stop just because some people don't know how to use fast-forward!

to expand upon my nested reply, under Neufeldt2002 (god, I hope that's not his birth year), it might be worth revisiting Google+ based on the new "promote posts" bidniz on FB.
you rightly stated we may still follow you here, and i will, if we're missing posts on FB but i don't do this website on my phone and i DO G+ on my phone.
just food for thought. i'mna go back to enjoying your work, now. =)

Feedback noted, thanks. In general business pages get extremely low numbers on G+. It's mostly for personal pages but as always, we like to hear from the readers to see what they think. Thanks again for your input.

I am loving more podcast MPC! Thank you they must be difficult etc but I love them. Also I read the Maximum PC with actual authors voices in my head. Josh I also like that you are interactive with us PC nerds... :-)

There was no audience there so we closed down the account. You can always follow us on Facebook or Twitter :)

any chance you'll consider revisiting the G+ account, ever? i keep in touch with family on FB but vastly prefer G+ to perusing content. especially quality content such as yours (shameless kiss-ass here).

Pity, I guess I won't follow MPC anywhere but here then as I refuse to use facebook and I'm not a fan of twitter.

Don't forget to post it to Zune Marketplace! I want to listen to you guys on my dated ZuneHD!

I'm still rocking the zuneHD as well, I don't think I'll ever get rid of this thing. You should look into the media docks for the zunes on amazon, they're super cheap right now.
