Gday World #82
On today’s show, Rich and I talk about:
CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN by JOHN PERKINS
Google’s Earnings Hit and why is Microsoft’s Market Cap only 13x that of Goog’s
Google Linux Rumours and why they need an OS
Scoble on posting your email address
Microsoft ships IE7 beta2 with RSS… but I can’t figure it out
StarForce suing Cory Doctorow… haven’t they heard of Kryptonite?
In TPN news:
Australian slang lesson of the day – “tall poppy syndromeâ€

you mentioned that bell the american phone company wants to make internet sites pay. have a read of this if you have not found it. http://muniwireless.com/community/1023
thanks william. I did see that book mentioned in the news this morning but hadn’t read the detail until you threw me the link. Why am I not surprised to hear that the US telcos have ripped off their customers and stalled the deployment of broadband?
also another ludicues thing that happened was cable uncapping getting a FBI raid.

digg is good 🙂
The best part of the whole show was Cam asking Rich “Are you taking the piss?”.
Comedy Gold even when it wasn’t meant to be…LOL
just wanted to let you and Rich are making a good show that I enjoy. I think it is great that you have found a co-host as it results in a better quality show. I still love the interview shows as well. The other thing that I think is great is that you aren’t afraid of tangents and keeping the language truly casual.
thought you sounded like you needed some “love”
Hey, Cameron,
You could make voting as easy as possible by putting a “Vote” link for each show. In your case, it should point to:

BTW, I’m enjoying the new format very much. Your ranting is much more enjoyable as a duet. 🙂
Minh, good work on that link! I’ll do that in future, thanks!
Angus – thanks mate, I needed that. 🙂
Tony – if that’s your definition of comedy gold, you need to get out more mate! (but we already knew that)
I will agree with the others that the shows are a lot better when you have someone to play off. Interviews are also good. I enjoy your shorter rant shows but you and Rich are a good combo.
Too bad I actually work or I could join in 😛
And it was comedy gold. You just don’t have a sense of humour.
How did you go with Andrew Bartlett? Is he doing the poly?
Also why not have more TPN Hosts as your co-hosts. For example I remember way back when you and Mick (????) had Dub Dub (Wayne Trumel) on the show when he joined the network. He was a laugh. You should have him co-host some shows. Also the guys from the Geeks of Hazzard.
Just a thought.

So dude, when does your Parenting show start? 😉
I really love it when your kids come in to the podcasts. (not meant as a bad thing) It makes me feel good that my kids and I are normal.

Poly The Pollie: I’ve got a meeting this week with a guy who runs a polygraph service to work out some nuts and bolts. Stay tuned!
TPN Hosts: yeah I’d love to have more of them on, its mostly a timing issue. I do the show in the middle of the day, when most Aussie hosts are working and most US/UK hosts are sleeping.
Parenting: I wish someone would start one on TPN. I’ve had a few people say they were going to but never did. Including my wife and Ian Dixon’s wife (about parenting twins). I like it when the kids come on as well. I wish they’d do a show. It’d be a hoot.
