Show notes
This episode features our largest panel ever, with both our regular team and new TR blogger Jason Fox. We kick off the show by exploring Jason’s first post, in which he described his recent exodus from cable TV to over-the-air HD broadcast. After discussing services like Hulu and Boxee, our panel gets down and dirty in a platform debate over the latest Mac hardware upgrades. As the show goes on, we get schooled by Intel’s Convertible Classmate PC, explore Nvidia’s mobile GPU branding controversy, and dig through Geoff’s closet to find legacy tech toys.

Send in listener mail, and we’ll answer on the podcast. – [email protected]
