Great discusion with David Pogue. Leo nailed that there is the difficulty with balancing access with the self censorship of questions.
- JR Holmes
Yep, a fluffy interview, or no interview at all. I say fluffy :D
- Mark
Old journalist grad here. I want to have a bit more depth on the interview, but it is a difficult balance to strike.
- JR Holmes
David Pogue neatly noted that the reason for the sensitivity regarding Apple is because of the near-religious war between fans of Apple and Microsoft. Other companies (Google, Yahoo, etc.) don't provoke that fervor.
- JR Holmes
Now, presuming that John Dvorak was listening to this, how will he respond to David's defense. I hope that he will admit the attack and note that it became perhaps over stated as it escalated.

For the US, shouldn't the Library of Congress be making the digital version available? Or, for new copyright items, make it a condition of registration of the copyright. The work would remain "locked away" until the copyright expires.

The annoying part of Canadian ISPs is that in 2004-2005, they went to court, against the CRIA ((RIAA north)) to defend file-sharers. Now that there's a saturation (~90%) of highspeed access... well now it's time to say poor me because "our network can't take it" -- even though CEO of Shaw said: "We have a very big pipe that is great for things like peer-to-peer and Bit Torrent. People love our network because it is so fast for those things."

ATT in United States had a class action lawsuit about not letting customers not allowing them get DSL without having a telephone line in your house, the people won the suit so they now offer DSL without having a telephone line but it more money, think that wrong.

Great Episode, as usual. With respect to Google's alleged purchase of Brightcove, is there a possibility it may be influenced by the technology in Brightcove's streaming Media Player?

Glad David Pogue got the chance to rebut. As Leo noted when it was done to him by Michael Arrington, attacking a tech reviewer's credibility that way can be very damaging. A couple of quick notes: Pogue actually does reveal a list of what gadgets he uses on his blog each year, and as of 2008, does not use an iPhone...

- Stephen Jendraszak
Fair enough. I mostly just think it's really odd that Leo let the panelists last week tear into David that way (and joined in), when he (rightly) slammed Mike Arrington for questioning his own credibility, and had no problem just now with actually plugging Andy's book on MBW! Now, I have no problem with Andy being a columnist and writing a book, but if Leo has a problem with David,...

I found the entire conversation about Assistive Technology devices (speech), Proloquo2go, and other speech generating devices way too short!!!! I'm a special education teacher and for years we have fought to get devices for students to communicate but are hampered by Medicaid laws refusing to let them get cheaper devices. The $8000 are great for some students, but they are stigmatizing...

I enjoyed your inteview w/ Pogue. The problem with his reviews is that they sound like they could come straight from Apple's marketing department. Pogue counters that he has given bad reviews to a few Apple products. Here are some specific examples of how his bias manifests itself. Snow Leopard: The product breaks many applications that professionals use on their Mac, yet Pogue recommends the upgrade as a 'no brainer'. That just makes no sense at all.
- John Bruder
Another example is his review of the Blackberry Storm. In it, David mentions that it's a world phone, but then goes on to criticize the outrageous prices Verizon charges for roaming. Well, I checked and AT&T charges are about the same, but he never mentions the high price of international roaming in his glowing iPhone review. These are just a few subtle ways that make David's review of Apple's products sound great, and their competitors, less so.
- John Bruder
OK, does Dvorak know that Lawrence, KS is home to a major university and not some little hick town?

I'm all on the side of new media, but my local paper in Arkansas, which was a terrible paper even before the internet, they began life on the internet by charging (only 4.95 a month) and now they are selling more papers than they were 10 years ago. All of these papers should have done the same thing, and charged from the beginning, but now they can't go back. I'm just saying my paper did the opposite of what Web 2.0 preaches and they are successful because of it. Just a contrarian example

Google needs to hire some UI designers though. Like a lot of Google's products work well, but don't have the greatest user interface. They should hire someone from Apple!!

I have to say, what Leo imagines Wave could be, would be fantastic if we could build it.

I don't know anything, I'm assuming based on the "lion's share of code will be open" statement by Google

oh, I see

The great position that Wave has is that the people that are going to use it are smart and willing to mold their workflow around it. Implementing sharepoint is a battle cause in most Businesses, your biggest pain point is resistance to change.

I agree once we can write the apps that can determine a child's intellectl Then education will truly change.
- Jim Lavin
say if you had leo give the class to all the schools via a live feed then have a teacher in each class give 1-on-1 to kids that need extra help then the software environment the kid's interact with (+ teacher input about each kid.) wil process the input fully customizing the lessons for each kid

One of the reasons for the requirements for liberal arts degree is because high school has failed to teach students to read and write and think critically. Partly because of the standardized tests.

LEO: I really enjoyed this episode and the sort of "big picture" look at technology and culture. It made me think of an idea for a TWiT show. What if you created some sort of Digg-esque page on twit.tv. There, people could submit specific big picture topic ideas and the twit army would vote on the topic they were most interested in. Then every month, or whatever frequency you selected,...

- Mike Bracco
So 18 min into this netcast, leo says that he avoid hard right wing sources because he's left leaning (being polite). So - taking Leo's actions as example, I should avoid leo's twit content so I don't have to listen to the extreme left wing content on TWIT 197? Thought was helpful to listen to all points, even the ones you think are "way out there". Drink the cool-aid! LOL

- Mel Buckpitt
Very good Twit. I'm listening now. :)
- Daynah
Funny, I just interviewed Don Tapscott to. Great guy.
- Robert Scoble
I'm a relatively moderate person, I was stunned how left leaning this episode was, especially in the utterly unrealistic education discussion. To suggest that we scrap our higher ed system when the rest of the world clamors to come to the states for it is just silly. Education is changing because of tech, and being an educational technologist by trade I see it every day. I would suggest that everyone take another look inside a modern classroom, as it's quite a bit different now than just 5 or 10 years ago.

- Brian Niles
Who the hell is Don Tapscott and why was he on Twit? I don't normally complain about something I get for free, but this guy made this show difficult to listen to...I'm not sure what, exactly, it was, but he seemed really out of place. Gina, on the other hand, was great.
- George Gray
George: ever hear of Google? Don has written 13 books, including one called "Wikinomics" that is a best seller. He's very smart and, while he's a little hard to follow in places, does research on how people use the Internet, especially the younger generation (he also wrote a book called "Growing up Digital" and he has lots of facts to back up his claims, unlike a lot of other people I talk with.
- Robert Scoble
George: Totally disagree, his insightful comments about the changes needed in education and the old 'push' and new collaborate models hit the bulls-eye
- Mel Buckpitt
However, he is not up on current happenings. Before the show Leo said they would be talking about Googles big announcement, and he said "what big announcement was that?" He had no idea about Wave. Shouldn't be on THIS WEEK in tech. Emphasis on THIS WEEK.
- David Lloyd
Mark: that's a good point. Not everyone watches Techmeme and friendfeed like many of us do. ;-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert: thanks...I had actually heard of Growing up Digital and Wikinomics, just did not put them together with him. I think Leo even talked about them at them at the start of Twit. I'm sure he's a smart guy, he, to me, just seemed out of place on Twit. I will have to listen again, maybe I was the one who was out of place.
