Summary: Tonight we spoke about Samsung’s defence against an Apple lawsuit, ACS:Law, torrents for slow networks, and a whole lot more; Rusty joined us from the United States

In addition to the topics named in the show notes, it ought to be mentioned that Richard Stallman said he would love to be in a future show; we are also adding videos over SIP very soon, and the intention is to have them summarise some news, be delivered in decent viewing quality, and maybe have guests in them too. Hopefully our first video episode will be out tomorrow.

RSS 64x64“Abyss of Hell” and “Bourbon Lassi” are the tracks in today’s show. We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed.

Summary: Except the experimental bits about video, this show covered MeeGo, Angry Birds, FTAs, and much more

We attempted to make this the first episode with video, but due to technical issues it will probably have to wait until the next episode. Tim and I will have hopefully sorted out webcams over SIP by then.

Summary: A quickly-arranged show to test new encoding options which may resolve cache timeouts

This is the first episode that we encode at a lower level of quality in order to reduce download time/decrease file size. Please provide feedback on whether the degradation of signal is acceptable. We hope this show is interesting too (we never script anything or prepare notes).
