In this episode Bill and Nathan talk about last week’s MacWorld Expo keynote address by Steve Jobs…while watching the MacWorld Expo keynote address by Steve Jobs. If you’re familiar with the show Mystery Science Theater 3000 it’s kind of like that except not as funny. There were four main announcements in the keynote and we’ll get into reactions about all of them. The four announcements were:

• wireless back up appliance: Time Capsule
• new applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch
• new Apple TV
• new thin laptop: Macbook Air

In episode two there was an observation about people who use and reference Mapquest verses those who use and advocate Google Maps. According to Google Trends, they’re pretty close. Mapquest declined slightly at the end of the year from where it started and Google Maps is up some from the beginning of the year. It will be interesting to see this trend a year from now.
