DESCRIPTION:
Griffin talks about Google Chrome getting extensions sometime before May. He also talks about domain names going for big money: YP.com, Fly.com and Toys.com. Griffin then talks about Netflix and Xbox 360 getting some mega usage. He talks about MSN releasing celeb gossip site, Wonderwall.com. Griffin moves the show along to talk about the fact THERE IS NO CUPCAKE update for Google Android and ends the show talking about a STELLAR deal from Verizon Wireless and Blackberries.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Isn't Verizon Wireless' deal crazy? Two Blackberrys for the price of one.. What do you think about that promotion?

i think it is an awesome yet desperate (like you said) deal. now is RIM losing any money from this?

[sweetgeektv]

badamc- no - I think that Verizon is just not going to be making the sweet profit margin they normally would. Plus I think it's more about increasing the billing for customers. You know from like $60/month to $120 or so per line with data and all that. That's my guess anyway.

That sucks couse i got storm on Jan 1 and my wife is due for an update!! bommer

[rushringleader]

I'm kinda bummed. I could have had two Storms. But, my parents might get some berrys now. Probably Curves. The only thing is that would be 60 bucks a month for data they wont use.
