CleanGoogle Me This | What's old is new again. On episode 41 of inThirty we cover Google's addition of The Knowledge Graph to its search results page. Instead of a chart that depicts the top scorers in Jeopardy as the name implies, Google is trying to use its vast artificial intelligence to figure out what people are really looking for when they search and display that info to them right away, without clicking away from Google. We discuss whether it's fair game for Google to display the snippets it takes from sites across the web right on the search results page at the expense of click throughs to the sites actually hosting the content or whether we should all just give in and do all of our web browsing as Larry and Sergey intend.

CleanHangout with inThirty: Tech Journalism | Episode 40 of inThirty sure was a live one! We used Google's new Hangouts on Air feature to broadcast live and record our pre-show ramblings. Yes, you can see video of Chaim, Harry, and Justin in our natural environments doing what we do best: yapping. After considering our burgeoning careers as reality YouTube stars we manage to reign ourselves in and talk about the state of tech journalism. Harry's CuriousRat.com has recently been Reddited and Fireballed, you see, forcing him to eloquently explain the difference between a pundit and a journalist. Here's a naked link to the YouTube video of the broadcast, we're all clothed: http://youtu.be/1AMXc7IBh7g Show Notes “Google Drive Terms vs. Dropbox Terms (Comment Thread)” | Reddit “The Echo Chamber” | Curious Rat “Apple iTV: It’s real...” | Digital Trends “Are People Finally Getting Bored with the Tech-Blog Circle Jerk?” | SF Weekly “No Comment” | inThirty “I’m Giving Up Reading for a Year” | Curious Rat | 5/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanBlackBerry 10 Nails in the Coffin | RIM's BlackBerry OS smartphone chops are showing their first signs of ripeness: on the 39th episode of inThirty we give our take on BlackBerry 10. The dev kits and PR speak are flowing like maple syrup straight from Waterloo and comparisons to more mature smartphone platforms abound as we analyze RIM's future prospects and discuss whether the hardware keyboard will be BlackBerry's defining feature going forward. We also consider whether RIM's popularity with the enterprise can be spun into success in the consumer sector. Later, we follow up on the progress of another newish mobile OS, Windows Phone 7. When we spoke to Steve Wozniak a few months ago we asked for his feelings on the mobile OS that Gates built and he hadn't yet had time to play much with Metro. Apparently a Lumia made its way into Woz's hands and he has some interesting things to say.

CleanTruthiness 2012 | What do the story of a warlord in Uganda and the story told by a monologist in New York have in common? Truthiness. On the 33rd episode of inThirty we delve into the ups and downs, rights and wrongs, truths and lies of two efforts at activism: Kony 2012 by Jason Russel and The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs by Mike Daisey. Using our keen sense for the truth (Wikipedia) we pull apart both stories and look at how new media and the 24-hour news cycle affect the public's perception of humanitarian crises. We must warn you, that if you don't Like this story on Facebook, Retweet it, and +1 it an innocent kitten will drown in a pool of nuclear waste. Hat tip to Stephen Colbert for this episode's title. | 3/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanNo Comment? | Let's go trolling. For the 32nd episode of inThirty we decide to wade into the reeking cesspool that resides under a lot of YouTube videos and most tech blog posts: the comment section. After comparing the (almost) anything goes comment policy at Chaimtime.com to the (absolutely) nothing goes one at CuriousRat.com, we discuss whether internet comments are useful at all and our favorite places to get into flame wars. By the time we get into which discussion forum technology is best, we start mangling the pronunciation of a lot newfangled web-two-point-oh sites. Sound off on which hosts' elocution was best, where else, in the comments.

CleaniPad 1, 2, 3 | It's finally here, the new...inThirty, oh, and the new iPad was announced, too. Just in time for our 31st episode, Tim Cook took to the stage and revealed what everyone knew was coming but nobody could wait for: the new iPad. We cover the new naming convention, dissect the new hardware components, weigh in on whether this step up is evolutionary or revolutionary, and determine if it's feasible for James Cameron to shoot Avatar 2 with the device's updated camera. We're joined by epic MacRumors forum poster, Apple enthusiast, and computer science student at Tim Cook's alma-mater Auburn University, Drew Pitchford. Listen in to find out about Drew's special connection to Mr. Cook and how Drew's predictions for the new device panned out. He also gives us his impressions of iPhoto, its new Beam feature, and the brand new 4G logo on his iPhone. And, don't call the iPad 2 old, he used it to Skype in for the show. | 3/7/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanWoz Two | Once you Woz, you can't stop. This is the second part of our epic Wozerview and also our 30th inThirty. Woz walks us through the tech he uses on a daily basis and gives his take on Android's user interface design and the best, and worst, Android devices. We ask Woz to weigh in on SOPA and also find out how he feels about patents and the impact they have on product development. And finally, we find out why Apple's stuck with the one button mouse as long as it has. Again, thank you Steve! Check out Woz One here. | 3/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanWoz One | The one, the only, the Woz. Leap Day only comes around once every four years and we wanted to make this February 29 extra special: Stephen Gary Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc. and the nicest guy in Silicon Valley, joins inThirty for our 29th episode! Woz reflects on the engineering philosophy that backed Apple's early products, tells us how he feels about the iPhone and iPad, and gives his take on what the future holds for consumer electronics. Woz also dishes on cloud computing, SOPA, jailbreaking, science education, music, and much more. This is the first of two episodes with Woz (he deserves more than 30 minutes, right?), our 30th episode, Woz Two, is a little kitschier than the first and will be posted soon. By the way, Woz handily beat Chaim, Harry, and Justin at Tetris...blindfolded. Thanks Steve! update Woz Two can be found here. | 2/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanTaming Mountain Lion | Roar. No, really, roar! The king of the hill, Mountain Lion has arrived and we throw him some fresh meat. Harry suggests that the Apple halo glows a little bit brighter since the latest OS X feline brings more of iOS to the desktop. Justin, on the other hand, worries the halo might be on the path towards becoming a noose: people are getting locked in to Apple hardware through its exclusive ties to iCloud. And, this cat's got Chaim by the tongue. He'd considering wearing the halo (or slipping on the noose) and switching away from Android to get that seamless Apple experience. Special guest Kelly Guimont helps us weigh in on iMessage, Gatekeeper, AirPlay, and the best way to skin a cat. | 2/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Well, we don't know either but on this episode we walk the plank and try to figure it out. Do you want to know what special guest Kelly Guimont's favorite movie trilogy is (hint: it's not Twilight)? Does Harry actually live in a glass house on Piracy Lane? How much brie does Justin eat? Listen in and find out. Oh, and feel free to copy this episode as many times as you'd like. Arrrrr.

CleanCommercial Bowl | Super Bowl XLVI: 228 million eyes glued to their TVs, or at least glancing at them between tweets, rooting for Eli Manning or Tom Brady. But on this week's inThirty we're more interested in Darth Vader and the Soup Nazi; that's right the commercials. Through quirk, cleverness, nostalgia, sheer repetition, or Clint Eastwood cameos, advertisers have learned to make use of every timeout to sell their wares. We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of targeted TV and online advertising and discuss whether or not it's possible to escape from the ad man's reach. Touchdown!

CleanWe’ll Show You Consumer Electronics | Lean back, lean back, and find your remote: on this second 2012 episode of inThirty we talk television. With the Consumer Electronics Show in full swing and its 35 footballs fields of floorspace teaming with gadgets, we want to know if any of them can score a touch down in the living room. We discuss whether innovation in the TV hardware front, pixels and bezels and remotes, is what'll win the living room, or whether content is king and cable providers days are numbered. What does it take to make a 10 foot interface work, will Apple TV revolutionize the market, what's Chaim's favorite guilty pleasure (hint, it's on the Disney channel), listen to find out.

CleanTech Resolutions for 2012 | Instead of working on shedding pounds or taking up yoga, the inThirty crew made tech resolutions for 2012. Chaim is going to feng shui and secure his digital life, Harry's going to get on task and write a novel, and Justin is going to move to eBooks and iTunes Match. Maybe we'll still join Jenny Craig and a yoga studio to cover our bases. CORRECTION: Within the episode, I mistakenly recalled Scrivener's trial period terms. You actually get 30 days of actual use. Here it is right from their website: The trial runs for 30 days of actual use: if you use it every day it lasts 30 days; if you use it only two days a week, it lasts fifteen weeks.

CleanNew Media: Jersey Shore Hurricane News | The National Weather Service's recommendations for putting together a hurricane preparedness kit include food, water, blankets, and a first aid kid. We think they left something out: Facebook. When Hurricane Irene was still an unnamed tropical depression, Justin Auciello created the Jersey Shore Hurricane News Facebook Page as a homegrown, "bottom-up, two-way news outlet". Having garnered more than 24,000 likes since its inception, Justin takes us through the motivations and methods behind JSHN and discusses how he dealt with sponsorship offers, vetting and managing the influx of news tips from the community, and developing journalistic standards. We also discuss how Twitter compares to Facebook as a platform for disseminating information during a time of crisis and how new media generally fits into people's understanding of unfolding events. Thanks, Justin Auciello! Harry was on Christmas vacation and couldn't join us on this episode, but don't worry, he didn't get coal in his stocking.

CleanUnwrapping the Galaxy Nexus | Someone must have been a good boy this year because he just unwrapped a Galaxy Nexus! After Chaim paid a small $20 upgrade fee on top of the $299 price tag for the phone, and signed a 2 year 4G data contract with Verizon which included a stipulation that he "not be evil" while using it, he quickly unboxed his precious. Next, he got to Hanging Out on Google+, not using Google Wallet because Verizon won't allow it, and finding out the battery door is made of plastic as thin as Saran wrap. Then he joined Harry, Justin, and special guest Michael Degusta of theunderstatement.com, to share the thrills and ills of being a proud user of Google's flagship phone. We find out if Ice Cream sandwich is as delectable as Google claims and whether or not Chaim's hands are big enough to reach the outer edges of the Galaxy's 4.6" screen. Chaim runs his first 4G speedtest but decides against joining the recording from his phone, and we examine the tug-of-war between Google and the cell carriers.
