Why the long Face...book? A woman battling depression put some pictures of herself having fun privately on Facebook. Somehow the insurance company found them and cut off her benefits saying she looked happy enough and must be cured. Really? We also get further impressions on Google's Chrome OSD now that we've had more time with it, and YouTube pulls a Hulu, but not in the good way.

Apple Tablet is the unicorn of tech (1110)

The rumors about the Apple Tablet are getting crazy and special guest Cali Lewis nails it when she calls it a unicorn. We also get the first look at the Google OS, and nobody is very excited about Microsoft Office 2010. Except the one person who never uses it: me. And we get some of the inside scoop behind the FAA outage.

BOL 1108: Tracker pulling

No no fellow residents of southern Illinois, not tractor pulling, Tracker pulling. The Pirate Bay has pulled out the trackers. But that doesn't mean you can's download anything. The site's still up for now using a different technology. Also Google's book deal seems to have been changed but not enough to satisfy its opponents. And Natali and I get into a philosophical argument.
