The 404 Podcast 534: Where we take a stab at the daily news
March 10, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
(Credit: Derrick Chen/The 404 ) The original rundown for today’s episode of The 404 Podcast started with a bunch of stories about tech-related violence, but we decided to scrap all that for a more positive show. And we’re also putting Wilson on a temporary story time-out for the next few days so this doesn’t happen again. Jeff is particularly excited about this first story, because it involves two of his close loves: video games and Playboy bunnies. This fall, Take Two Interactive is partnering with Playboy on Mafia II , a mature video game that lets you play as a gangster in the 1940s and ’50s

nik_strychnine posted a photo: Current Project- a brass cover for a USB memory-stick. The ring at the end has been ‘borrowed’ from another design, so will be replaced with a rounded one, and the retaining chain still needs to be put in place. Lots of bits still need to be soldered into place too…

nik_strychnine posted a photo: Current Project- a brass cover for a USB memory-stick. I’m quietly pleased with the bayonet-fitting. The USB component plug still needs to be painted black to make it look more like a wax seal, and the locating ink-marks need to be polished off…

The 404 Podcast 520: Where we hire a new Twitterererer

Thanks to Rich from Cleveland!! (Credit: CNET/The 404) In our struggling economy, it’s nice to know that our Commander-in-Chief is doing his part to provide jobs to our country. Well, at least one: Barack Obama is hiring a new Social Networks Manager ! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to “maintain the Democratic Party and Organizing for America accounts on all social networks (such as Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace accounts, etc.” Who wouldn’t want to be Barack Obama’s Internet ambassador? It’s time to beef up that resume, write an outstanding cover letter, channel your inner Gabriel , and fill out this application …no word yet on compensation. Mini sausages do double duty (Credit: http://itnews.inews24.com ) Touchscreen smartphones are fun to use, but what happens when users don’t want to remove their gloves in the freezing winter to send a text message or a play a game

Seattle, c/o listener Drew (Credit: CNET/The 404) Now that Chalentine’s Day is over, we’re back and ready to tackle the big news of the weekend: Windows Phone 7 , the new mobile operating system just announced last Monday at a press conference at the Mobile World Congress 2010 . Jeff is naturally apathetic toward the new OS after moving on to the Palm Pre, but the rest of the industry is excited about the proprietary PC client used to sync your phone to your PC- no more ActiveSync! Check out CNET’s Crave blog for more info. make it stop (Credit: Zazzle ) Today’s episode asks the tough questions on all our minds: would you rather sign your dog up for Twitter or get a Nickleback tattoo on your forearm

Japanese pop star Leah Dizon joins the guys on today’s episode of CNET’s The 404 Podcast, and Mark Licea joins the fun to talk about his personal history with the international sensation. Leah Dizon with Mark Licea and The 404 (Credit: CNET/The 404) (Credit: Leah Dizon) It’s not everyday that we get a chance to interview a Japanese pop star, so when we found out that Mark Licea of CNET’s The Green Show grew up with host/model/singer Leah Dizon , we booked her right away. Mark hangs out in the studio as well and we get the inside scoop on their childhood friendship, Leah’s rise to fame in the States and abroad, and Japan’s advanced technology that makes our iPhone look like the Jitterbug . In the second half of the show, Wilson tells us about a strange story about a man that claims a booty call cell phone ruined his life .
