The 404 454: Where this is not really an Asian podcast
On today's show, we recant what we said about Sony yesterday.The company managed to botch up a feature that would have leveled the playing field with the Xbox 360.For those of you who didn't listen, Sony and Netflix announced the arrival of streaming on the console. Sounds great?Not so fast.Apparently, you'll need to plug in a BD-Live disc every time you want to watch Netflix.We know it's only temporary, but come on! It's accessible from the dashboard on the Xbox 360, and you don't need no stinkin' disc.Audio Draft Pick: RancidWikipediaIt's Jeff's pick today for the Audio Draft, and while traditionally we usually pick smaller bands or unknown acts, Jeff has decided to go the other way and picked Rancid.They've been around for a while, and released a couple of albums.According to Mr. Bakalar, their latest is turning heads.We play "The Bravest Kids" and "L.A. River" from their latest album.Stay tuned for the last Audio Draft pick of the month on Friday from Wilson!It won't be country music this time.To round out the show, we talk talk a little bit about Droid from Verizon, the company's first Google Android phone.Wilson still thinks the phone is a pretty ugly design, but that it may change the market around considering it's the first non-BlackBerry-Storm smartphone on the network.Still, Apple seems to be the one still innovating in the smart phone market.In other news today, Kenley tells us that it's the 15th anniversary of the birth of Internet advertising.That's right on October 27th, 1994, Hot Wired ran the world's first banner ad, and surprisingly, it was pretty effective!Mark gets excited about the Tekken 6, while Wilson can't really tell the difference between Tekken 5 or Tekken 6.Jeff adds snidely, "Tekken 4."Think it's hot that Kenley likes to watch guys play videogames?Well send her a message as usual through voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET (2638).EPISODE 454PodcastYour browser does not support the audio element.
