I think the most intriguing article I’ve read over the last week was the one where Wired magazine told the world that blogs were so old-fashioned that no one should expect to launch and grow a new blog big enough to be noticed at all any more. I can honestly tell this is one of the best things I’ve read in quite a while and I can agree with Valleywag’s writer Paul Boutin (who authored the article for Wired) [...]

Do you ever think it is strange how eagerly we, bloggers, distribute rumors that have nothing to do with reality when we want to believe this or that particular prediction to be true? Whenever we get some new rumor initiated - be it a blogger seeking to get some extra popularity and hoping that the rumor could really eventually come true or a source that is not really familiar with the situation but tries to pretend - we start discussing [...]

Duncan Riley has reported an interesting piece of information from the source he describes as “reliable, would have access to such information, and who has been accurate in the past”. The report is about new price lists Apple retailers received from the company where there is a new position - a laptop priced at $800.
According to Duncan’s source, Apple laptops range includes 4 new positions in addition to the current 8 laptops (3 Macbooks, 3 Macbook Pros and 2 Macbook [...]

Update: Well, we managed to come it at just a tiny bit over an hour. We're doing better at cranking through the topics! Duncan claims he's on some type of medication that gave him a sunny disposition, but there was enough cussing in the after-show to let us know he wasn't overtaken by a pod person. For your listening enjoyment, here's tonight's episode:
 
It's Thursday again, and time for Things You Can't Say About the Internet, my weekly podcast on [...]

Against our better judgment, we are back at Talkshoe tonight for the third-ish installment of Things You Can't Say on the Internet, with me, Duncan Riley of The Inquisitr, and Steven Hodson of WinExtra and Mashable.
Tentative topics for this evening include:

Why Steve Jobs gets away with everything short of murder and maybe that, too
Does anyone still care about the menage a trois of Microsoft, AOL, and Yahoo? And who'll end up in bed with whom at the end?
The resurrection of [...]

Final Update: Thanks to Steven Hodson for cobbling together an MP3 even with the multiple technical issues. It's available on Talkshoe and iTunes, or you can listen to it right here:

Updated: Sorry about the technical issues, everyone! We still have no idea what happened with Talkshoe, but we managed a Skype call with broadcast to Ustream as a kludged solution. I'll post the recording as soon as we (more like Steven Hodson) get it all glued together [...]

It was a peculiar day for Digg yesterday, I think. Yes, we all know that it is getting harder and harder to get to the front page of Digg due to Kevin and the team changing the algorithm so that votes from submitter's friends counted less than non-friends votes. And yes, we all know that you can't get on Digg front page just by writing a great (newsworthy, breaking actually, stylish - whatever) piece of content that [...]

For those of you who missed it, the very first episode of Things You Can't Say About the Internet is here for your listening pleasure. Most of us did a good job keeping our adult language use to a minimum, and discussion topics included Twitter clones, FriendFeed and democratization of meme tracking, why everyone should have a full feed for those reading via a feedreader, and then some rambling about user privacy concerns.

If you enjoyed this post, make sure [...]

Tonight Profy will be playing host to a new podcast called Things You Can't Say About the Internet, with me, Steven Hodson of Mashable and WinExtra, and Duncan Riley of The Inquisitr.
We'll probably be discussing Twitter clones and FriendFeed zealotry as well as a number of things, so please join us tonight. With the parties involved, there may end up being a wee bit of "Not safe for work, kids, or polite company" language, so there's your last warning.
The show [...]
