Hey, guys, just so you know, iTunes is throwing an error for the podcast. I think there's some invalid XML at the podcast URL.

I'm getting this problem too.

Yea. Also getting this error. I want to grab it through iTunes as always, but it isn't working.

Sorry about that, there was an unescaped ampersand in "AT&T." In other news, have I mentioned lately how lame XML can be?

Quite lame. I deal with it all the time at work, so I'm well aware. Thanks for the fix!

Enjoying the show now!

A full-fledged OS, especially one with a lot of drivers and services, will not be as fast and will use more power. But I think you should take a better look at other differentiating aspects of Google OS, namely security, stability and ease of use.

There are videos on the Chromium page about the details, but some highlights:

1) There is only one version of the OS, the interface is very simple and you can't break the OS in any way (ease of use, stability)
2) The OS itself and user data are kept on separate partitions which makes it easier to update the system and limit access (stability, security)
3) There are two copies of the system partition so it's not a problem if the system update fails (stability)
4) The user data partition is encrypted (security)
5) They use custom firmware that, when you boot the machine up checks if the OS partition was modified and -- as far as I understand -- can automatically restore the system to original state (security)
6) All system updates are downloaded, verified and installed automatically without any user intervention (ease of use, security)

You guys mentioned the Barnes and Noble Nook sold out in this podcast and then said you'd discussed the Nook in much more detail in previous podcasts.... Which ones!?!? I've searched back at least 10 and found no section chapters that sound like the Nook and I follow the podcast pretty closely.

Please point me to the podcast(s) wherein you guys discuss the Nook. Much obliged!

We discussed in episodes 59 and 60.

Hey guys, the new equipment really makes a difference I've used Shure mics in a number of installations and they sound great. One note, there was some slight echo coming from Peter's mic on this episode, could just be the room, but it was noticeable. Just thought I would give you a heads-up.

Keep up the great podcast!
