Talknowledgy Podcast #107: BB10, Ron Swanson’s Movember video, talking trash with athletes on Twitter, and more
Right off the top of the show we discuss BlackBerry 10, Pinterest brand pages, and Facebook’s rumoured job board.
This week’s “Creepy or Awesome?!” is centred on the recent Twitter outrage when big man Pau Gasol from the NBA Lakers missed the last shot of the game handing the historic club yet another early season loss.
Our YouTube Hero this week is Ron Swanson’s pro-Movember video encouraging men to keep growing their “mos” and raise money for men’s health. It also has some guest appearances from cast members from “The Office”.
Finally, a military sex scandal gets our #Hashtag Fail of the Week. That’s right, the sloppy use of email clients may have lead to the infidelity bust in the David Petraeus scandal.

Talknowledgy Episode #104: Horses and Bayonets, iPad Mini, Windows 8, RunPee, Iron Man, #BaldforBieber, and more
We have a packed show this week. In the first segment we talk about the final US Presidential Debate – “horses and bayonets” and “the 1980s called”. We also check in with the big tech announcements this week: New iPad (4), the iPad Mini, Blackberry 10, and Windows 8.
Have you ever needed to run out of the theatre to go to the restroom or grab another bag of popcorn? Well, there’s an app for that. This week’s “Creepy or Awesome?!” features an app that tells you when the best time to leave the movie. What do you think?
Phil also checks in with Fiaaz Walji RE: phishing, and we talk about the 25 worst internet passwords. Spoiler Alert: “password” is #1.
Our “Hashtag Fail of the Week” features bald Bieber fans…is it a hoax? Finally our YouTube Hero pits Gangnam Style: Halloween Edition vs the theatrical trailer for Iron Man 3.

Talknowledgy Episode #100: Scuffgate, mySpace, Phil gets an iPhone, and more!
Dave and I start the show in the world of smartphones – Scuffgate, plus some good news for Google, and some less bad news for RIM (still bad, just less bad).
In Seg 2, we discuss an internet dinosaur that’s trying to rebuild itself but hasn’t done enough to distance itself from its old brand. Is Myspace #CreepyOrAwesome?
Our “YouTube Hero” this week is courtesy of AwesomenessTV as they crush the hopes and dreams of Macheads everywhere.
Also don’t forget to check out our #Fail of the week – a really well done parody of Flo Rida’s “Whistle” which skewers the NFL and its replacement refs.

Talknowledgy Episode #99: The great and terrible iPhone 5 launch, Mitt Romney’s epic campaign fail, and more!
The iPhone 5 remains the top story this week – for good and bad reasons. New features, shipping delays, sales records broken, and Apple’s broken new maps app!
This week’s “Creepy or Awesome?!” looks at iPhone art – could the greasy smudges your fingers (and face) create when you interact with the iPhone 5 be considered art? What do you think?
We beat up on Mitt Romney for a bit this week…in Seg 3, we play a Bad Lip Reading video of Mitt at campaign events (wait, you mean he didn’t really say that stuff? -PG) and then in Seg 4, we talk about the online reaction to Mitt’s video shot at a donor event back in May in which he labelled 47% of Americans as ‘entitled mooches’. Mitt Romney – our “YouTube Hero” of the week!
