Gordon clarifies Intel's new Core i3/i5/i7 branding structure, and Will gives his thoughts on the surprise acquisition of id Software by Zenimax. We also answer a few listener questions, and share the results of our Bing experiment. On top of that, Gordon delivers his weekly rant.

After being out of the office last week, the gang is back to talk about this week's biggest tech headlines. Will and Norm recap their adventure at the Electronics Entertainment Expo, Gordon gets riled up over Apple's WWDC announcements, and we collectively anticipate upcoming Facebook's vanity URL service. facebook.com/willsmith, unfortunately, has already been claimed. We also try a bold experiment: using Bing as our default search engine for a week. How long before someone gives up and goes back to Google? And as always, we answer a few listener questions and bring you Gordon's rant of the week. All this plus more in this edition of the No BS podcast!

Posted 05/29/09 at 01:45:22 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
No Star Trek talk this week. Scout's honor. Instead, the gang talks about futuristic technology that's here today! Several technology conferences going on this week hosted product announcements from Google and Microsoft. At the I/O developer conference in San Francisco, Google announced their support for HTML 5 and the ambitious Wave service. 550 miles away in San Diego, Microsoft revealed their Bing search engine that will replace Live Search. The team also tries out Hulu's desktop application, and ponders its ramifications for Boxee. As always, we take a few listener questions and Gordon spills his thoughts on James Bond in his rant of the week. Join us for all this and more on this week's No BS Podcast!

Posted 05/22/09 at 05:26:51 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
The entire staff is back in the office this week, eager to grill Gordon about his thoughts on the new Star Trek movie. Was there enough intersteller diplomacy for him? Did he find its message heavy handed enough? Will caps the Star Trek chat to 5 minutes, after which we jump into recent tech news. Apparently, the US military is going to adopt Windows Vista, Intel announces a new anti-Ion netbook platform, and we uncover the real size of the internet. After numerous debates and tangents, we eventually tackle a few listener questions, and Gordon unleashes his rant of the week. All that and more on this week's Memorial Day weekend podcast!

Posted 05/15/09 at 01:42:01 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
Disaster strikes! Not only is Will out of the office (meaning no video feed for this episoe), but Gordon reveals that he has yet to watch the new Star Trek movie! Nevertheless, this doesn't prevent the rest of the gang from sharing their [spoiler-free] thoughts about this geek touchstone in this week's exciting podcast. We also spend time weighting the merits of the EU-Intel case, and analyze the implications of Windows 7 and Larrabee replease dates. Gordon gives advice to advertising agencies for Microsoft and Apple, and delivers a fuming rant of the week. Did we see the return of the Dark Knight 2.0? Download the podcast to find out!

Posted 05/11/09 at 03:30:53 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
Continuing with the series of Justin.TV-streamed video podcasts, the gang recorded another live podcast for the first week of May. Everybody shares their thoughts on the new Windows 7 RC, and discuss the merits of Amazon's Kindle DX. Listeners call in to ask about file permission problems (a solution found here), and we all lament the passing of 3D Realms. Also, no rant of the week this time as Gordon was out last week, but Norm gives try at expressing his rage toward the new Wolverine film. Apologies for the late post, but stay tuned this week for a special episode where Gordon reveals his reaction to the Star Trek movie. Did he love it or loathe it? Place bets now!

No BS PodcastNo BS Podcast #103: Would You Palm a Pre?
Posted 05/01/09 at 04:40:24 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
Once again, the No BS Podcast is brought to you in both audio and technicolor video formats (this week on Justin.tv). While working out the unending technical difficulties of broadcasting live to a web audience, the gang chats about this past week's tech news. Windows 7 is again a hot topic, with rumors of a late October release date and our analysis of the hyped up XP compatibility mode. Will contemplates buying the new Palm Pre, and we all agree that the struggling PDA company is making a huge mistake by limited the number of launch units. We also answer a few listener questions, bash micro-blogging, and enjoy Gordon's rant of the week. Tune in to just the audio or watch our video stream!

Posted 04/24/09 at 02:04:33 PM by The Maximum PC Staff
We got some pretty good feedback from our first attempt at a live streaming video recording of the No BS Podcast, so we tried it again this week. Technical difficulties aside, we had just about 50 people tune in to watch the gang discuss this week's news topics and get angry over CNBC's Jim Goldman's idiotic report on the Mac vs PC battle. We also go over AMD's new Phenom announcements, Intel price cuts, and take a few listener questions. Gordon's rant returns to form with a special take on the popularity of twitter, and his solution to narcissistic tweets. Download the MP3 to listen in, and sync up the audio with the video on our UStream channel.
