Episode 58: Vista, Firefox 2.0, EA and More!

Host: Kristin Hatcher This week Kristin and the crew kick things off with an uplifting story about Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, gets his voice back after 18 months. From there, we cover IBM's patent lawsuit against Amazon and Dell pushes for everyone to adopt Vista ASAP. Sophos claims McAfee and Symantec should have been better prepared for Vista instead of whining and Brad digs into a grossly misled article about Vista's GUI. Derek talks about the new Firefox 2.0 release and what happened to Apple in the computer world since the 90s and how it could have been different.

In the gaming portion, Joel talks about Blizzard's announcement that the World of Warcraft expansion will be bumped back to a 2007 release. Also, EA slams XBox 360 users with micropayments for "officially sanctioned cheating" in Tiger Woods Golf and other Godfather. Lumines Live! makes users pay out the wazoo for what should be standard game functionality. Lik-Sang shuts down due to Sony lawsuit and Rockstar's Bully has some boy-on-boy action and the ESRB doesn't care. And finally, Jack Thompson's back in the news raging against Bully, in potential contempt of court and threatening to run for judge! The end is near!

Brad has a good rant about Rush Limbaugh reading his blog on the air for 3 days and much more! It's an extra long show this week! Dig in!
