While Andy begins his quest to find our one Chinese listener, we welcome Kelly Yeoh (@kelisha on twitter) on to the show to talk give us the southern hemisphere’s perspective of our listener tags. And boy do we have a bunch of great tags this week: glue, snow, web, games, and books are all on the menu today. So stick around and enjoy the show!

Andy and Michael M take you through this week’s roundup of listener tags.  Surprisingly and wisely, the team steers clear of the England – USA World Cup match, and with the 1:1 tie, the friendship continues without missing a beat.  The tags on Muppets, iOS4, iPads and more catch their attention.  Are you among the ‘naught point one’ percent of technology users who are consuming more than their ‘fair share’ of network bandwidth?  Do you think that two screens are needed for the ‘full book’ experience, or will one (ala the iPad) suffice?  Could a dual screen e-book reader be used for a double bass guitar?  All these questions may be explored during the recording, or maybe were thought of afterward — you’ll have to give episode 157 a listen to get both the steak and the sizzle!

In this week’s exciting episode, Andy and the Michael’s are thinking like crazy. Thinking about your tags that is! We get a lesson on how to create your own Augmented Reality program on the Mac, we watch a “scientist” tell us how to get infected by a computer virus, and our driving around town session allows is all about networks and iPads. And if you ever wanted to know the secret behind each show’s thought process, Michael M has provided this mind map.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Michael, Michael, and Andy get some time to talk to Keith Klemba and Wesley Mukai from SAP. Keith and Wes have been working on integrating Avatars into SAP’s technology. They have just unveiled the concept at this year’s Sapphire conference. Imagine the 3-D internet coming to a purchase order near you. We also have a great set of listener tags, and during the show we realize that it is the 30th anniversary of two things which have shaped our lives – PacMan and The Empire Strikes Back! So sit back, plug in, and enjoy our show!

While Andy jet sets back home from a week long conference, the Michaels take the opportunity to record a show at our favorite coffee shop Bean Traders. With a bit of cool jazz in the background, we talk about a great set of tech-no-tronic tags and ponder how much longer Facebook can survive with all the privacy issues which keep surfacing.
