No BS Podcast #33—The $100 Rebate Edition
Posted 09/08/07 at 12:43:36 AM | by The Maximum PC Staff
Tom, Will, and Dave ask Jeremy and Norm, PC Gamer's intern, what it feels like to piss away $200. Once that's settled, the gang brings you the latest info on
- Open-source GPU drivers from AMD/ATI
- The Justice Department says no to net neutrality
- The Copyright Alliance states that fair use is not a consumer right
Also this week, win a dream date with Dave, a report from the Lab, what people in the Maximum PC forums are saying about the case chosen for our Dream Machine, and how to join Maximum PC's Steam group.

No More Jeremy??

I heard one very quick reference to Jeremy perhaps not being on the podcast any more. Is this the case? I would certainly miss him, plus I was really hoping you guys would expand on the imac versus a comparably priced PC.
Also, now that Macs (at least the intel ones) can comfortably run Windows, perhaps you could outfit a Mac Pro with Windows and give us a comparison with some PC's. The Mac Pro has an 8-core option, so I'm fairly sure (Gordon notwithstanding) this would be a fairly fast machine.

Seeing as how a number of us miss Gordon's rants already, it might be funny if all the mellow people on the podcast air their own peeves in the style of Gordon. Or recite a rant in haiku. Whatever. I'm kinda curious to know what gets under everyone else's skin. ^_^
Dave's cardboard computer case idea is teh s***. Although formed metal cases would definitely get more love from a giftee, his solution implies a sort of sexy MacGyver-ish resourcefulness. But what's the deal with all those girls sprinkled throughout his Flickr account and cuddling his cat Colbert? Is this a man in need of a date? I think not. Unless those girls are after his cat. He's a cute critter after all.
Dave can always use a date.

Should have thrown an Interrobang into the Podcast description for the front page.
What? Gordon's not around to see it. :]
Power outages.

I'm the one who phoned in about the fried computer hardware and I can explain the power outages. While we do have the Falls right there for power, all our power lines and transformers are like 30 years old and constantly fail. Thanks for the help, I'm going out tomorrow to get the UPS like you guys suggested. Thanks for all the help.
Good podcast but I WANT A RANT
