Hello Nerdy

Since Fish was p0wning n00bs in Call of Duty, and Victor is leading an Escape from New York, Fredo is joined by junior correspondent and social media expert Brett Neese and security expert and video game savant Corey Hall this week. Like when Saved By The Bell got an all-new cast but Screech stayed behind.

This week the gang realizes the internet is a confusing and frightening place. Luckily, Hello Nerdy junior tech advisor @brneese stepped up to explain the concept of liking, rating, starring and checking in with every single physical object or intangible abstraction that crosses one's path. Next week: The gang continues to find the internet confusing and frightening.

This week the gang discusses the Star Wars saga, some technology stuff or whatever and then again with the Star Wars.

This week the gang compares Android's new Ice Cream Sandwich to iOS in a very fair and balanced way. Sike! Siri works and facelock doesn't. Easy decision, right?

This week the gang spends 50 minutes discussing iPhones for a minute or two and a little bit about how violence solves everything.

This week Fish and Corey abandon the people that love them the most, leaving them alone with nothing to keep them warm, save for a monumental, world shattering week in Apple.

Fredo is joined by Brett Neese and Corey Hall. We correct last week's mistakes, talk about kids on Facebook, Windows 8's beauty, and how the name Kindle Fire just rolls off the tongue.

The whole gang is back and ready to discuss the catastrophe that is HP management, Windows 8 on Bootcamp, unintended corporate spokesmuppets and the inevitable hour long Apple superiority tangent.

In which Fredo and Victor briefly contemplate quitting the podcasting game. Also, Windows 8 was announced.

This week Fredo and Victor have little to go off of other than the firing of some blogger or whatever and decide instead talk 3D printers, the new Ultra-Mega-Cheese Menu at Denny's and (maybe) a few relevant tech news items. It's fancy!

Fredo and Victor discuss Netflix's new problems, ribbons everywhere in Windows 8, the current state of the Ultrabook and Fredo's bizarre desire to run away with Samsung's Galaxy Note and live with it in an open smartphone utopia.

This week, the gang ogles a laptop that wasn't made by Apple, discusses who's who in Cupertino, who's keeping Symbian alive at Nokia and who's brilliant idea it was to mess with GameStop customers.

This week the gang discusses AT&T's new weapon in their crusade against fun, Google purchase of patents as well as Motorola Mobility and the death of WebOS and what that means to Matt's lofty tablet criteria.

Facebook Messenger is the latest volley against the cell phone carrier's brutal grasp on a universal wireless messaging service. But you won't be able to use it on your Nokia N9 (in America.) This is a very clever description indeed.

Between the $80 price drop and the Vita delay, one would assume that Nintendo is about to dominate the Holiday Season. Will it? I don't know, but HTC has Beats by Dre now.

Victorless and armed with a new format, the HN Crew delve into the topics of the week. Netflix, data throttling, 3DS price drop, and the BBC iPlayer are all discussed…and then swore at.

We spent 60 minutes scouring the week's news to find something Apple related, I swear. You may or may not be impressed with the results.

*POORLY MODULATED - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK* It was only a matter of time before the Hello Nerdy crew tried to tackle software patents. It's a toss up which system is more broken, software patents or their discussion about them.

A cross continent mashup, bringing you the hot rumors about the iPad Pro and iPhone 5 in addition to a bunch of other tech companies that matter less.

I tried editing this episode in FCPX, but I became so infuriated that I ditched the video completely.
