Episode description
After an adventure, Matthew Petschl, Ryan Rampersad and guest Sam Ebertz discuss the Facebook's purchase of Instagram, BestBuy CEO's resignation and lack of counting skills, Google's earnings and Plus-numbers, Apple rumors on iTunes 11's break up, the iPhone 5 and technical details, the Nook with a light on Amazon heels, cell phone tracking, and so much more.
After a nightlong adventure, special guest Sam Ebertz appears alongside Matthew Petschl, musk-rat-hunter extraordinaire, and Ryan Rampersad chat about Facebook buying Ryan’s Instagram account (and every other too), huge Google+ populations, a measly $10 billion in earnings, speculation on iTunes 11 and the App Store split up, iPhone 5 rumors, BestBuy CEO’s resignation over $1.7 billion, the Guild Wars 2 launch, a nook now with a light after Amazon Kindle speculation, and more!
Kudos to Emma Petersen for attempting to podcast and surviving the night. We’ll get there next time.
