No BS Podcast #44: The Holiday Party Hangover Edition
Posted 11/30/07 at 06:48:06 PM | by Tom Edwards
Finally emerging from a tryptophan-induced haze, Tom, Dave, Gordon, and Jeremy get back to work to talk tech. This week the guys discuss:
- Phenom
- Facebook's Beacon Ad System
Also this week, Ask the Doctor covers new ground by delving deep into topics some editors would rather not discuss, and Gordon brings a holiday-size helping of his bilious worldview in his Rant of the Week.
For your chance to win a SanDisk Sansa Connect MP3 player, enter one--or all--of our contests:
- Make a mashup of an Apple/PC ad, with the PC emerging as the victor; submit the video to YouTube with the tag MaxPC1130
- Create a Photoshop image that describes your Black Friday experience
- Create outro music for the No BS podcast. Make some new music to play at the end of our show!
The video and Photoshop contests end December 14 at 10 a.m. PST; the theme-music contest ends December 21 at 10 a.m. PST. Submit photo and music entries to maximumpcpodcast@gmail.com with the subject line "Black Friday" for the Photoshop contest and "Theme Music" for the music contest. More details available by listening to this very podcast!

eelkram, I hope you haven't had to reinstall 10 times on that same box, if so, I think you may be doing something wrong, lol.

When I heard "and now Gordon's rant of the week" I was thinking "didn't Gordon already rant?"...

make them into a zip file. that way they are separate, but all together. don't add ads.
One big zip file

But then, what if someone only wants to download one month, they have to download a 500MB file that costs us a bunch to transfer? Doesn't seem like a good idea, coz bandwidth ain't free.

will , what if you have both? a big zip file for people who want it all , and single pdfs for people who dont , some people will want to save the pdf's hence the Zip , and some will want to view it in the browser , one way of hosting the Zip would be to perhaps Torrent it? that way bandwidth is shared?

I believe the sales for PS3 jumped up in japan because of a particular game from square enix
