Dr. Dave describes rapid positive growth as Computer Talk begins originating its own network feed, asks listeners to be patient while live streaming is rebuilt and points them to the show archive in the meantime. The brothers reveal more of their working relationship through a hectic live transition, their refusal to take themselves too seriously, Dr. Dave’s early love of talk radio and Evil Steve’s hand-built high-end stereo system. Technology reports cover Apple’s aggressive iPod pricing, browser competition and phishing defenses, office-software alternatives, Windows activation, early data exposures and the collision of online games with real-world commerce. Across those subjects, Dr. Dave argues for buying with one’s eyes open, choosing quality at a reasonable price, resisting abundance for its own sake and showing basic courtesy by explaining the files attached to an email.
