Season 1 Episode 1 of the Computer Action Show 'audio ogg' links to Episode 100 of the Linux Action Show.

Also, Theora is a video codec. Vorbis is an audio codec. 'OGG Theora Only Audio' is confusing.

Please fix these 2 issues, Thank you.

BTW Great idea for a general computer show

Yikes! Thanks, my food coma brain at it's worst there :-) Fixed!

And thanks for the props!

It appears the ogg vorbis link is still pointing at Episode 100 of the Linux Action Show where it should be pointing at Season 1 Episode 1 of the Computer Action Show .

Thanks again.

I haven't come across any place where different types of computers have had to interact.

It appears that my tag-like comment got scrubbed...

sorry

Very cool guys, thanks. Is there going to RSS setup for this show so I can get it via Banshee? :)

bump

oh, and when you submit a comment the waiting message says "...wait a comment" instead of moment

Great show guys. I will definitely be here for the rest.

Sounds like a good idea for a show! (not watched/listened yet)

RSS feed please?

So, does this mean the end of the Linux Action show, or are they going to both air?

I like the show, and the new format.The last two linux shows were beginning to fade and be less interesting.

Looking forward to the haiku review.

BTW the title card needs to be updated with the new twitter name for Chris.

Another excellent show, and I am also looking forward to the new format.

I am a heavy (in both senses of the word) Linux user, but I also make use of Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Apple and the BSDs. I also use and want hear about the variety of mobile platforms out there and other less discussed platforms.

Ultimately, I expect this decision will bring in a butt load more content and interesting discussions.

Rock on!
Steve

I understand the logic behind the transition over to this show format BUT please keep some linux topics/segments in each show.

I think you can pretty safely count on that. :) You notice how heavily Linux-filled this episode was?

Hey there Chris, would it be possible for listeners to call in or have guests on the show as part of this?? Because I would actually like to be a guest to maybe discuss the ... strong-points I've been finding in Win7 recently from all the builds I've ran. Im still a sidux guy but have used all builds since the beta of Win7 (also Windoze Server 2008 R2[Win7 server])to give a real in-depth look to compare on Linux/FreeBSD terms.
On a side note.. I think this should if it stays on what it is, and not sticking too close to a LAS production style, I think this will actually be superior to the LAS since its so broad and perfect, and wish you can NOT just biasly cover Linux either, we would be dumb and ignorant to say we look at MacOSX and Windoze without actually following through. I'll gladly support this new show if indeed technology of computing as a whole is the topic, its my forte :)

The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners.

Again, you guys totally ignoring the FREEDOM of GNU/Linux. You guys are just concerned with the "open" and "Linux".

You ignore the freedom and you are surprised when it's taken away from you?

The Palm Pre uses Free Software, including GNU and Linux, to make it's operating system, yet they did not release the rest of their code, and made it almost impossible to modify it and use it, Tivoization.

The Amazon Kindle did the same thing. The Free Software Foundation criticized them for it, and you guys criticized the Free Software Foundation. You don't understand. You really don't.

You two should really try to put Linus aside and read through and through GNU.org. TRY and really understand the importance of the FREEDOM of GNU/Linux.

And you will see in recent articles that Linus wants you to keep these important issues to yourself, that's wrong. He doesn't understand. Just as you guys don't.

Regarding the Pre,

The vendors who ship software which "spies on the user" almost always point out these features out in the licence agreements you have to agree to.

If you accept the conditions, then everything is fine. After all, you read and understood the licence conditions right?

That's why I have absolutely no problem with these modern handsets sending usage data out to developers. The Palm Pre, the Apple iPhone, Google Android, Microsoft Windows Mobile etc. If I want to avoid them, I will. I have a choice. That's freedom.

As a developer myself, I know of various ways I could make use of such information. So long as I present these features in detail in a licence/usage agreement, everything is good. Because my users will have to read it and accept the conditions. They can deny the licence if they wish.

Also Jake, I tried really hard to adopt your approach to technology. Having read several of RMS's papers myself and seen a few of his talks, I can safely say I fully understand everything he, you and the FSF stands for. Probably more-so than yourself.

In the end, all I received from the 100% free distros was poorly managed downstream-of-a-downstream software, terrible documentation and several verbal beatings from their communities. A few of these verbal attacks were even aimed towards my family. The gNewSense folks were the worst, many of whom appear to be folks with the maturity level of a high-schooler. Guys with absolutely no understanding of how the software industry works.

Due to these terrible experiences, I gave up caring about the FSF's opinion.

Now, that's not fair.

You can use whatever distro you want, but you should prefer it be Free Software instead of proprietary. And thus, when/if advocated, others will do the same. Soon we'll see some good companies interested in this free market, like RedHat, and Canonical. They will be more mature.

And I've never seen Stallman act like that. So the people whom you dislike are not part of the Free Software Foundation.

You should care about the Free Software Foundation's opinions even if those whom chose to make the 100% free distros are totally immature. I've heard opinions and possible circumstances from the Free Software Foundation that I would never have even heard of or considered.

And in the end, who is more important to listen to? Linus or Stallman? I go with Stallman, seeing as he is the one who wrote the GPL, founded the FSF, GNU, and is more responsible for the freedom of the GNU/Linux operating system than anyone else. While Linus sees these issues as "personal" issues, he is totally anti-political.

Bryan and Chris for some reason praise Linus, bash GNU, and then complain about not having software freedom. WTF?

great show! i really like the linux action show, but - just as you might have felt yourself - found the topic to be a bit of a limiting factor for the show. keep CAS going! ;)

Great show guys, keep it up!

Two suggestions:
1. Make a review of OpenPandora from http://openpandora.org/
2. Talk about Amiga :)

Excellent show!

I was fairly freaked when you changed the name - but it still has the same good content...

One thing you didn't mention on the netbook topic is the nvidia ION chipset. I picked up an ACER REVO with the ATOM 330 and NVIDIA 9500 - it is very nice. Plays 1080p with VDPAU on ubuntu. Shows 4 CPUs! 64 bit! Runs Ubuntu 9.10 great with couple of work arounds...

Surprised we haven't seen many netbooks yet with these chipsets.

I actually do review privacy disclosures and Terms Of Service and I don't recall any kind of red flag going up regarding my iPod Touch and the amount of information it will be reporting on me. I do recall reading how some apps will report on my location as it is necessary to the intent of the app (i.e. Maps, Urbanspoon, and the like). However, also sending my unique machine identifier, jailbroken status, age, and gender? Nope, don't recall reading about that.

Has anyone noted that in order to determine if the app had been stolen (see http://www.pinchmedia.com/blog/2009/08/ ) that they must be matching your unique machine identifier with purchase data from the app store? And since the app store has your name, credit card number, etc.... it's a very thin line they tread by saying they gather no personally identifiable information.

Additionally, the unique machine identifier and jailbreak status could be reported back to Apple easily. What could Apple do with that information, hmmm...?

The partners and business arrangements that Pinch Media is establishing also concerns me. Tapjoy, a partner, is focusing on "targeted advertising". How soon will it be that something you view in one app is advertised to you in another app? All they need is that machine unique identifier from Pinch Media.

Cookies on the Web do a lot of the same stuff but at least then you can delete them or refuse the cookie. With the implementation by Pinch Media, you can't opt out of being tracked short of not using the app. And we don't even know exactly which apps to not use...

Pinch Media's argument that they are not spyware because they have no "malicious intent" is wrong. That's only by their own convenient spyware definition made to fit their business model. In my opinion, anything that monitors a person without their knowledge or consent is spying. Intent does not matter. A "peeping tom" who only looks could be viewed as having no "malicious intent" but we still consider them criminals don't we? I'd say the current disclosures by Apple and Pinch Media do not qualify as adequate "knowledge or consent".
