For the second week in a row, the gang returns with another news-packed podcast. This week, we talk about our first hands-on with the ZuneHD, the RTM of Windows 7, Logitech's new G500 laser mouse, oh yeah, and the rumors about Intel's new Core i5 CPU. Listener questions are answered, technical difficulties get resolved, and everyone involved has a great time. Most importantly, Gordon makes a triumphant return to the Rant of the Week!

Well, well, well. Look who decided to join the OS war. This week, the gang discusses Google's surprise announcement of their netbook-targeted Chrome OS, whether it'll be a threat to Microsoft or Apple, and how consumers will be confused by its naming scheme. Other topics of discussion include Google's services leaving beta, the hot new release of VLC, and our experience with Firefox 3.5. We also reveal details about the 2009 Dream Machines and answer a bunch of listener questions. All that plus Gordon's rant of the week on this episode of the No BS Podcast.

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!

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!

You guys asked for a video podcast, and we've delivered. Sort of. In the first post-controversial-musical edition of the No BS Podcast, we experimented with streaming video of the show live on ustream.tv. Will twittered about the show once we got the webcams set up, and 40 people jumped into the channel to watch Gordon, Will, Norm, and Alex chat about this week's news and last week's regrets (spoiler: we have none). Download the MP3 (it's much longer than 21 minutes) and sync up the audio to the video recording on ustream. Be sure to follow us on Twitter as well, so you can find out when we do our next live podcast recording. If you're willing to watch the live feed, we're more than happy to broadcast it.

We checked our Maximum PC zodiac chart, and realized that 2008 was the Year of the Rant. Gordon's capacity for rage never ceases to amaze, so this week, we present to you 2 hours and 40 minutes of non-stop ranting. Culled from this past year's podcasts, this all-rant episode includes anger toward interoffice spam emails, indignant hippies shopping for organic food, and shirts sticking out of sweaters. A certain Cuppertino-based tech company doesn't get off easy, either.
