In this episode John Federico, Chia-Lin Simmons and Ken Gellman chatter about:

• Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp makes an offer to buy Dow Jones

Me Too! Me too!

In response to Google’s acquisition of DoubleClick:

• Yahoo buys RightMedia, the auction-based display advertising network
• Microsoft makes a play for 24/7 Real Media rumored to be in the neighborhood of $1 billion dollars

Other stuff

• Google responds to Viacom’s lawsuit with a big, “Meh.”
• SnoCap licenses music from Warner Music Group to sell in their commerce environments
• Digg pulls down the AACS code for HD-DVD throwing the Digg community into a frenzy regarding censorship and free speech

Our wine this week was a 2004 Coppola Rosso and a 2004 Pinot Noir…whose origin escapes me.

Our closing music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

Can someone please tell me why Microsoft decided NOT to enable “Tasks” syncing between Exchange Server and Entourage?! It’s just ridiculous!

Does anyone know of a workaround?

In this episode John Federico, Chia-Lin Simmons and Steve Hatch discuss:

• Wow - John Wall of The M Show thinks we’re one of the Top 5 Podcasts that you should be listening to
• We all want a Chumby.
• Our friend Oliver thinks that people are going to buy the iPhone en masse. We don’t disagree.
• Google introduces in-store billboard advertising network…and videogame advertising…and radio advertising…and video search…and eBook sales. Steve and Chia-Lin love it. John loves it….but thinks it could be a bit creepy.
• Google to serve ads for music videos by Sony Music and Warner Music Group
• Chia-Lin wants a Playstation…or an Xbox 360.
• John is salivating over a Sony Reader. Steve and Chia-Lin think he’s nuts. Are eBooks a real business, yet?
• BitPass shutting down
• Content wants to be free….and ad supported
• John won’t pay for disposable content
• Ruckus rolls out its ad-supported music service for college students nationwide while Spiral Frog loses key executives
• Podcast advertising and technology company Kiptronic receives $4 million dollar investment
• Certain members of the porn industry wonder why anyone would want to see that genre in Hi-Def

Our wine selection was a 1919 Cabernet Sauvignon and Coppola Rosso.

Our closing music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

This week, John, Ken and Steve Hatch discuss:

• Ken’s reliance on his cell phone
• Steve’s new FiOS service
• The iPhone. (Of course…)
• No Exchange support on the iPhone. That’s a potentially BIG deal-killer for a lot of people.
• Will you be able to get an iPhone without a contract?
• Apple also released Apple TV. (John’s unimpressed.) Microsoft is probably in a better position to capitalize on this opportunity with the announcement of IPTV service on the XBox 360.
• Bambi Francisco thinks that consumers will tolerate low-quality content. For now.
• In a partnership with GooTube, CBS will begin airing consumer generated video content on the network, starting with the Super Bowl.
• JibJab productions used to be considered “consumer generated content” and look at them now. (John actually went to high school with the Spiridellis brothers…)
• Ad Age has selected YOU, the consumer, as Ad Agency of the Year. Gimmicky…
• Magazine publishers believe that building or buying social networks will help grow revenues. Film at 11.
• Meredith buys two interactive ad agencies
• The newspaper industry is bleeding….less.
• Gannett, McClatchy and Tribune to jointly sell web ads to compete with Yahoo!

Our wine was a Francis Coppola Rosso.

Our closing music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.
