Posted by Frederic On May - 5 - 2008

Once again, the Elite Tech Podcast crew (aka the “Rat Pack of Blogging”) got together for another fun filled Sunday afternoon to discuss the latest and greatest stories according to the votes on the l33t reddit.

This week the show once again features our regular core group of talkers, including our moderator Mark “Rizzn” Hopkins, our producer Art Lindsey, Louis Gray, Steven Hodson, and myself.

New this week: intro music and editing courtesy of Art Lindsay, as well as bleeped out swearing.

Some of the topics we discussed this time:

  1. Why can’t some Mac fans understand that not everyone wants a Mac? - a Mac vs. PC discussion that was almost bordering on friendly and reasonable.
  2. Twitter Said To Be Abandoning Ruby on Rails - is Twitter’s problem really Ruby on Rails?
  3. Early adopter angst
  4. Robert Scoble
  5. Second Life and Giant Typewriters
  6. Microsoft and Yahoo - what self-respecting tech podcast would manage not to talk about this?

    Interesting. I'd love to meet you guys too. Neat podcast.

    Lying? The best you can come up with is that I told you I'm not leaving Podtech?

    I never wanted to work at Facebook. The reason I haven't been using Facebook is two reasons: 1. It has a major technical limitation that makes me pissed off at it (I have 2,500 people I can't add as friends). 2. Lots of my readers are getting kicked off for various things, many of which are legitimate.

    But I think the point that someone who mouths off as much as I do will eventually say something stupid is a good one.

    Glad you like the show Robert - hopefully you'll become a regular listener.
