Patent wars reignite, the Internet is nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and multitasking may be coming to the iPhone. It's an epic sort of show today. Also, PS3 gets in the game with a motion-controller, and employees like us knowingly violate IT policies like crazy people. loadUniversalPlayer({playerType: 'ces2010-small',lumiereQueryType: 'id',lumiereQueryValue: '50084615',useCurrentPageUrl: true,relatedVideo: false,preRollAd: true,hideLeftTab:true,wrapperFloat:'left'}); Listen now: Download today's podcast Subscribe with iTunes (audio)Subscribe with iTunes (video)Subscribe with RSS (audio)Subscribe with RSS (video) EPISODE 1183 Apple’s iPhone 4.0 software to deliver multitasking support http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/03/11/apples_iphone_4_0_software_to_deliver_multitasking_support.html Verizon to have 4G phone by mid-2011 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703791704575114130970301388.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Amazon’s 1-click patent confirmed after re-evaluation http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2010/03/amazons_1-click_patent_confirmed_following_re-exam.html Sony unveils its PS3 motion controller, Move http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-10467340-52.html Dell, with help from Amazon and Google, taking on iTunes and iPad http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/03/apple-beware-dell-with-a-little-help-from-amazon-and-google-is-taking-on-itunes/ Pink Floyd win EMI court ruling over online sales http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8561963.stm LifeLock fined $12 million over lack of life-locking ability http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/03/lifelock-cant-guarantee-id-theft-prevention-after-all-settles-with-ftc.ars Bad employee! 12% knowingly violate company IT policies http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2010/03/bad-employee-12-knowingly-violate-company-it-policies.ars Console killer’ OnLive to launch in June http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8556874.stm Internet ‘in running’ for Nobel Peace Prize http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8560469.stm There are a number of ways to come see us at SXSW in Austin, TX! http://www.cnet.com/8301-19709_1-20000250-10.html VOICE MAIL Erik – South by Southwest!

Dan Dublin, OH ********** Patent law does have it’s place in society, and we do need it to protect, not only the big company but the small company. While there may be problems with the system, change to the system must be gradual and measured. Wholesale removal of the system re: software patents would result in a host of unintended consequences as well as the removal of billions, if not trillions, of capital assets.

The European Parliament is, somewhat unexpectedly, riding to the world's rescue by demanding that the super evil ACTA agreement be negotiated in the open and that the three-strike ISP provisions be taken out.

On today's show, a special interview with Adam Sadowsky, president of Syynlabs, the OK Go video, "This Too Shall Pass." Turns out making that video was as hard to make as you might imagine.

For the same reason that people develop for the Xbox, or the PS3 (particularly services like the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade). This kind of treatment of developers happens all the time in the console gaming development cycle, it just happens behind closed doors most of the time. That doesn’t mean it isn’t wrong, but Apple’s “treatment” of developers is hardly unprecedented and because of that it’s unlikely to negatively impact the number of developers who want to develop for their platforms. Besides, I think all this housecleaning is leading up to something. What? I don’t know, but it seems odd for them to suddenly pounce on certain apps and certain kinds of apps without warning. I foresee some major changes to their app store (and app submission process) coming soon – maybe more clarity on what apps will and will not be accepted? Anyway, love the show, and Molly’s rants! (Oh and also Molly, you mentioned that you don’t think the iPad will sell very well and I have UNDENIABLE, SCIENTIFIC PROOF that you’re wrong! In Mass Effect 2 (which is, in the future) everyone is walking around with an iPad-esque tablety device! SCIENCE.) –Jayce ********** Hi buzz crew, I was just listening to the episode 1177 where you talking about the new TIVO’s and how if you wanted wifi you would need to buy a $90 add on.

We stayed on the rails pretty well in this episode, but there's a whole long thing about cake toward the end that the chat room dubbed "nerd freestyle" and, well, we love that. In other news, new TiVo underwhelms a bit (other than the remote) and Viacom goes all anti-Internet with "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report."

Theres been a lot of talk recently about the arbitrary Apple App Store policies and their rejecting of random apps.
