From Steve's latest post, it seems that GG is over for now. How silly and how sad, and what a loss to this community.
- Robert
Yeah, it doesn't have to be this way. I think it could be the best tech podcast out there or at least one of the best. I know there were a lot of meltdowns, not the least of which happened of course last week, but there were some shows that were just stellar. But like Peter Drucker said, "All great geniuses have the greatest weaknesses." In other words you can't be a genius without a weakness.
- Stephen Pickering
...help me out here: it's a group of tech journalists, who get together and talk about stuff, like i do with my friends. except you guys have a camera connected to an Internet feed when you do it. you still can't get together? Is this because of the "did you pay for your Pre" thing? rhetorically, of course.

Just read Steve's post and I hope that the worst case is GG will be back after July's CrunchUp, it is the only tech podcast where discussion with precise questions happen and the realtime video element with the Skypesaurus was making it a better experience than the time-shifted podcast. As Wo says, I'll follow Steve and the Gang anywhere.

I guess I meant that effectively replaces 2GB USB thumb drives. I keep my frequently accessed files, software tools, comics I'm reading, etc on dropbox so I have access wherever there's an internet connection and don't have to worry about another dongle on my keychain.

Agreed, to replace a small thumb drive, it is pretty could. You can repurpose the thumb drive to be a bootable Linux for working on a clean machine, or as a recovery toolkit.

Leo Laporte has always been classy, even way back in the 90's when he was doing his tech radio show. That's why people listen to and respect him. The gillmor gang started out interesting like 5 years ago and quickly devolved into a sour morass of bitter tech journalists talking over each other, fighting, blathering and pontificating. They try to act as wise, old sages dispensing salient...

That's weird, I mean sure Arrington is being an ass - every single pre-launch review you see was a "free Pre" there's no reason anyone would think otherwise, but why suddently turn things off after that? That said, I've never seen that show before.

- Jerome Gotangco
Laura, it definitely wasn't staged. I can tell you that Steve & Tina Gillmor were shocked, and then Steve furious that his show was cut off without his say-so. What bothers me about the whole thing is that the one who didn't do anything (steve) ends up looking like an asshole in the aftermath, inviting the Twit community to a free-for-all at his expense. He's a big boy, can defend himself, but it's undeserved and does a disservice to his work.
- Karoli
His perception was that his integrity of an honest review was questioned since he had a special hi tech unit for 7 day review. When a person is honest and their integrity is questioned it's extremely insulting. Whether the person intended it or not. From what I've seen Leo Laporte is genuine and authentic as well as transparent. Hopefully this gets resolved in the best possible way for both of them.
- James Stratford
I was watching Leo's twitlive.tv stream for hours leading up to this. Unless they palnned it the day before, which seems unlikely, it wasn't staged. Even if I hadn't been watching I would have a hard time thinking it was staged. Leo hasn't ever done a stunt like that before so why would he start now?
- jccalhoun
Leo went a little nuts. Yikes.
- Johnny
Part of it is jealousy on Arrington's part that he was promised a pre-release review product and didn't get it. Whereas Leo did. Jealousy is what this is.

We each live under our own little rocks. I'm sure everybody involved in pretty much any field can name three or four or six people in that field who *everybody* MUST have heard of. Who you have or haven't heard of is a pretty lame way to keep score.
