Dogear Nation

Michael and Michael welcome Andy back to the show, after a long absence, and talk about the latest news from Apple. But before we get into that - we take a quick peak at how the Web is feeling. We also enjoy some great parody ads in the South Park vein. We then look at a great graphics-based search engine. Microsoft announces its potential new Cloud OS, while busily patenting Page Up and Page Down (no really - they did!). And conclude with a brief shout out the the “Un Conference” on Virtual Worlds in London. We then include our latest episode of the interviews from Virtual Worlds ‘08 in LA, with Wallace Jackson from MindTaffy Designs.
