After some major user issues with talkshoe Michael, Michael, and Andy do our much hyped Windows 7 launch party. We thank the team over at BeanTraders coffee shop for allowing us to record the show with a live group of listeners. Even though this was our Windows 7 party show, our great listener tags gave us some great 3D internet and Tech-no-tronic topics. Keep on tagging!

The guys once again enjoy an incredible selection of new listener tags, and while we can’t get to all of them this week, we want to say “Thank You! and Keep on Tagging!” Don’t forget to tell your friends and get them to tag and to follow us on iTunes or at the Blog over at http://dogearnation.com. With all the excitement this week around the “Device that should not be named”, we try and steer clear of it. Thanks to UnCommonMan we get to spend part of today’s show describing a great new visual search tool.
