CNET | Buzz Out Loud Show Notes
August 29, 2007   
Molly Wood and Tom Merritt

Today's Buzz
DMCA absurdities; an upcoming Apple announcement (new iPod, natch); no drunk pilots on NASA; patent trolls; and the hot, hot, hot new Nokia N95 finally hits U.S. shores--officially. Now that is an exciting day. It's enough to...well, apparently, it's enough to send you into a deep, dreamless, refreshing sleep. Huh--who knew?

--Molly



EPISODE 549

TODAY'S LINKS:


TODAY'S VOICE MAIL:
Anonymous
My company isn't allowed on Wikipedia.

Remy
I like ordering DVDs.

Dan from Ohio
I fall asleep to BOL every night.



TODAY'S E-MAIL:
Pretty sure he meant CUPS
CUPS = Common Unix Printing System.

You can access it at http://127.0.0.1:631 in OSX or other unixes (assuming that is a word).

Dave (the psychologist)

Apple and CUPS
On today's show you read a reader mail from someone that was concerned about Apple taking over the PC market. In that message, he mentioned Apple taking over CUPS, which Molly took as a typo for CPUs. He actually meant CUPS. The Common Unix Printing System has been purchased by Apple.

Google phone on Wikipedia?!
Here is a wikipedia like about the Google phone. What do you think, Molly and Tom? Please visit the links!!

Google's mission
Tom:

Although an organization is free to do whatever it wants, I think it's nice of you to remind Google of its own declared mission. But you have to quote it fully: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Therefore, some things like building a cell phone or buying spectrum may not be part of organizing the world's information. But they do help make it universally accessible.

Alex from Rio

DVDs on demand
Why would I want a DVD? If it's a full quality, high-def DVD it would take three days for me to download and encode it, then burn it to a DVD. Plus I'd have to spend the money to buy a HD burner and the disks themselves.

I'd gladly pay $2 to $4 per DVD episode if I could get them in high-def to my door three days after it aired. I'd probably even pay $5 per DVD if I could 'subscribe' to the service and they'd ship it to me automatically.
