This podcast had the unintended outcome of a central theme. The topic that seemed to come up over and over again was that while we enjoy getting excellent products and services, we really hate how companies can be so damn high and mighty about it. It’s no small coincidence that Apple is part of that discussion.

Going in we all thought this show would end up shorter than most, and while it definitely is that… it’s not by much. I guess the standard PGM show is always going to be around the 90 minute mark. A question for the listeners then…. is that too long? Too short? We obviously want to make the product our users want, so let us know!

• Did you hear that new band The Beatles are on iTunes? Will your life EVER be the same???!?
• Ryan talks about finishing up the new Castlevania game, beginning to dip a toe into Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and the playing of much Rock Band 3
• Dan also played a ton of Rock Band 3, but it WAY more interested in talking about how he defeated Super Meat Boy. He also picked up the new iPod Touch (4th Gen) and how he and Kevin witnessed concert bliss with Roger Waters’ The Wall
• After tearing down the wall Kevin moved to the opposite end of the entertainment spectrum and saw Jackass 3D. Yea, I’m poking at him in the show notes for seeing it, that’s how I roll.

Geek Spew 47:21 – 1:07:01 (Each of us brings a geek related news bit to the table to share and discuss)

• Kevin – Obama talks Internet Czar, we get nervous about internet surfability and compare privacy laws both in the US and Canada
