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. Sam D.
Google phone on Wikipedia?! Here is a wikipedia like about the Google phone. What do you think, Molly and Tom? Please visit the links!! Virgilio
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. TechRavingMad Not receiving podcasts? Sign up now!

Tom Merritt is the author of CNET's The Real Deal column, the star of many CNET.com how-to videos, and of course, the sometimes outnumbered cohost of Buzz Out Loud.
