DESCRIPTION:
Griffin talks about the Conficker virus that is due to release on April 1st. Is it real or is it not? He then talks about how he hates April Fools day and how TheFunded already did their "prank." Get it straight pranks online = lame. Griffin then talks about Skype coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch tomorrow. He then talks about Skype releasing on Blackberry in May - pretty awesome. Griffin then talks about Newspapers and the amount of money they've lost. Griffin ends the show talking about the fee hikes at Netflix for Blu-Ray discs.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Would you use skype on your cellphone?

I hate netflix, have you ever actually found a movie that you can stream on your xbox?

The variety is to limited. i am sick of watching Scarface.

badbob117,

ya i agree the selection isn't HUGE right? but at least they are moving in that direction and once the movie studios figure out it's really the new wave of how things are going to be done we are all going to be able to enjoy it.

I'm just glad that Netflix is trying to innovate - death to blockbuster <-- prediction.

mouseofscorpio,

I'm sorry that I missed that. I haven't used Skype on a winmo phone but I think the hope is that a non-beta version will come out and actually be good quality. we'll just have to wait and see!
