Episode 32: Shady Candy Companies | Kroc, Thom and David devote a show to the discussion of monopolies. What defines a monopoly, what has it to do with morals, and what positive and negative effects monopolies have on the market. Microsoft and Google are mentioned throughout as we try to place the current position Google finds itself in in context with the massive change in the technology world since Microsoft was king of the hill. | 2/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 20.x: How Did We Do? | Back in August of 2009, the OSnews team spent 3 full hours discussing Apple. In the course of discussion, we spent some time talking about the then-mythical "Apple Tablet." So, 5 months later, how did we do? Were we accurate in our predictions? How did you envision the Tablet, long before the nonsensically named "iPad" became a reality? This clip, which I've called "Episode 20.x" and inserted into cannon retroactively, is pulled, unaltered, from the original podcast. | 2/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 31: In Which We Discuss the Inevitable | The round table changes again this week, Kroc Camen is joined by Tess Flynn and David Adams--sorry, no Thom this time. We discuss the mobility of personal computation machines once more with the fresh topics in the news this week. Google's Nexus One phone, Palm's developer announcements, some Microsoft / HP thing that happened or something, and the sound of inevitability: the Newton Apple Tablet. | 1/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 30: I Wonder What the Children Would Be? | The problem with the future is that by the time you get there, everything is pretty normal. Now that we've arrived in 2010 (something I could hardly imagine 10 years ago), we're now met with the annual tradition of predicting what will happen this year. Now that Kroc, Thom and Tess have recovered enough from the new year we discuss KDE 4, desktop OSes vs. the web and the issues of privacy and government involvement in the Internet--that is, when we managed to stay on topic. More coffee! | 1/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 29: Warranty Void | Back by popular demand, Tess joins the show again and we are also greeted by another guest--William, a friend who has a lot more charm and wit than the angry crocodile in the room with a grudge against everything. Topics covered include: Chrome OS, Bing / Google, The GIMP, Siverlight or standards, and voiding warranties. | 11/29/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 28: Watch This Mobile Space | OSnews Publisher David Adams and I discuss the mobile computing landscape, how the emergence of mobile computing is changing our lives and changing the design and market share of operating systems. Is there room in the market for 7 competing mobile phone platforms? Are we just repeating the 1980s PC market again? | 11/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 26: The Skype-on-iPhone Show | Even after a disastrous recording session we still managed to produce an hour and a half show. We are joined by David Adams to discuss disclosure, bits and pieces in the news, rounding off with Microsoft Works Office 2010 Starter. Apologies for the poor quality, we really did have a lot of crashes. Download .mp3 | Subscribe in iTunes | Subscribe RSS | 10/11/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 25: Haiku, WinMo, Opera, Psystar, Chrome Frame | In that order. There was no show last week due to Thom being busy with work so we had two weeks of news to catch up on. Obviously, Haiku has to be mentioned once more and we are joined by Mike Ferland, an OSnews follower, halfway through the show. | 9/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 24: The Synergy Show | Synergistically bringing together multiple topics, this week's show synergizes Palm's new Pixi, the Palm "App Catalog" and the AppStore, Microsoft's anti-Linux training, Sega's Dreamcast, Apple's Grand Central Dispatch and finally Chrome's extensions. Feel the synergy! | 9/13/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 23.5: The Meta Show | This is a filler show dedicated to discussing OSnews itself. We discuss the dreaded moderation system, user participation (that's you, you wonderful people!), what goes on behind the scenes and plans for the future of the site.

Episode 23: Uh, What Were We Talking About Again? | I apologise for the show arriving so late, Britain decided to come back from holiday and break their computers so I was busy all week. Said holiday period also meant that news was thin so Me, Thom, Tess and David discuss Snow Leopard, the EULA issue and then proceed to the issue of cloud computing, what constitutes 'user-friendly' and whether Linux really is easier or more difficult to use than Windows or Mac. Due to some recording issues, sound levels are not perfect and I hope to resolve that next week. Download .mp3 | Subscribe in iTunes | Subscribe RSS | 9/6/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
