Great show guys! Love the info on the VooDoo Envy. I had not see that yet, and am pretty excited about them showing the Air how it should have been done.

This is the first OCF podcast I've ever listened to. The 'news freshness' is beyond dated for me. I read almost ten tech news sites several times per day. I was fairly entertained by the humor in the podcast, which is what kept me from switching it off. I see the same effect with the overclockers.com news posts. The contributions can seem shallow. I don't mean this as an attack, but praise it for what it is. Its a quality news source for a certain demographic. "You think you can do better, nightelph? Yes, I can. Please recruit me. |

No problem, nightelph. If you have any suggestions we are happy to hear them and do our best to include them. If you'd like to send some specific news stories that you'd like to hear about on the podcast, we'd be happy to look them over. Thanks! Matt |

i just figured that i would add that i listened to my first podcast today. it was definitely nice to be able to just listen to some of the latest tech news instead of having to read it. very convenient for me here at work. i personally like having the panel of people to discuss each news article. that is something you typically do not get when just reading. sure you can read comments, but i think a real discussion gets very good feedback. keep up the good work

Hello again all! I think the main intent of this podcast is not to give breaking news but rather to (attempt, cough) to have meaningful discussion of some topics. We should, during tech roundtables, limit ourselves to the number of topics though. I'd prefer to have deeper conversations rather than grazing over many of them. Thoughts? Keep up the good work Jordan, Matt and Ben!
