Commercials, iPods, and a weird Apple Store Story

The next episode is on the way. I should be posting it tonight. I just want to take a moment to explain something. Things are going in the direction of coming to an end here on this show. As much as I appreciate te hard work our volunteers are doing, it really is starting to feel like this is the end.

With the next posting I will send out one last message and then that is it. I do so want this show to continue but part of wisdom is somtimes knowing when to call it quits. I am more certain than ever that my time is now.
So with that, thank you all for the great times, the laughter, the banter. I am a better person for knowing all of you and producing content for you. These three years have been fantastic. You are truly the best fans I will ever have.

So enjoy yourselves. I will keep the blog going for our volunteers to post as they like.
Take care of yourselves, take care of each other.
Your smackman,

Cal

Please join us Cal, Michael, and me Packard for a new show tonight! Live at 8:30 PM CST! Just click the live link at the top of the page, and if you really want to join in on the fun, join us in the chat room live! We will be responding to most of the items posted in there as well!

There will be no show tonight as some of the crew is a bit under the weather. We will be back next week with a lot of smacking

We smackdown about the classic argument. And Eric and Zuney are back!

Join us live tonight for another episode of the SMACKDOWN.

8:30 CDT via UStream and WyldeRyde IRC.

Following the recent surge in criticism towards Apple’s business model, Mark and Brian will explore the issue of ‘openness’ in technology using the iPhone and Windows Mobile phone ecosystems as examples.

Packard will entertain us with a recent news story.

Apple has publicly published their response to the FCC! Listen in as we smackdown about this and a few other topics.

Apologies for the audio quality on this one. Skype wasn’t kind to us, it seems.

Yes you read that right.  Rachel and I are handing the show off to our regulars.  We will be moving on to other things.  We want to thank all of our listeners for the support and wishes on the show over the 3 years we’ve been doing this.  I will sorely miss the conversations, and the banter.  But life has to move on.  Take care of yourselves.  Take care of each other.  See you on the silver screen someday. Cal and Rachel.

There WILL be a new show next week.  I will be a guest as we do a transitional show with the new cast. 

Is the iPhone going double-wide with iTablet?  Is Microsoft photocopying Apple with their stores?  Plus, Cal gives you an assesment on his netbook and Win7.
