Don't be fooled; this kitten is only here as an apology for the horrors in this episode.
Paul and Tim are tired, as they both have to work very hard for a living. Dave on the other hand is a gentleman of leisure, and simply rakes in the cash from his vast patent portfolio of edible underwear and novelty condoms. Topics:
- Mac OS X Lion is out (and Tim foolishly installed it day one)
- Obligatory new Apple hardware talk
- Microsoft wants to have Linux’s babies
- Yahoo is the leper of the Intertubes
- Zotac has some sexy new mini ITX motherboards coming out
- The graphics card race could be heating up soon

Mechanical switch keyboards are without doubt the best thing any geek could ever own. IBM created perfection when they created the model M but if you want something new I use a Das Keyboard, its so well made you could beat a man to death with it, then plug it back in and get back to work.
If any of you guys get a Das Keyboard buy the all black, as by now you shouldn’t need to look down http://www.daskeyboard.com/
Yes….on internet.
Dave?

I used to think I’d never use anything other than a mechanical keyboard. But then I accidentally bought a Cherry low profile, laptop style keyboard. At first touch I hated it… I needed more travel. But I very quickly adjusted, and now when I switch back to what I used to consider superior style keyboards I’m a bit lost. My new tactile finger friend seems to encourage a gentler, quieter, and more fluid form of manual message massage.
Sadly it still doesn’t stop me typing crap.
I sort of want to be wrong, and maybe a Das would bring me back to the Light Side, but I’ll never find out because I’m way too tight to spend that kind of cash on a keyboard… no matter how important input devices are. I’d only give it a coffee bath at some point and kill it.
PS Another entertaining show guys, thanks.
