PowerUser.TV e50: EU Fines Microsoft, Zune, Wi-Fi & More!

Advertisement (Why?)

This week the team burns through some tech news, including (but not limited to) the EU slaps Microsoft with a ton of fines, the house votes to crack down on internet gambling and it turns out a majority of podcast listeners are Star Trek fans (is that true gang?). Also Microsoft makes an "iPod killer" called the Zune to which the team (or at least Kristin) responds with a resounding "meh".

In gaming news the team discusses a Sony "anti-used game" patent, inform you that Oblivion has come out with a new expansion pack and laugh at Uwe Boll. No wait, they laugh with him. Yet another console is getting ready to hit the streets and Microsoft's Zune will hook into the 360 but won't play games. Huh?

This is episode 50 folks. A big shout-out to our IRC peeps and all those who post on the forums and give us love. If it wasn't for you we'd...be talking to ourselves. Thank you!

Well I know one thing we should talk about next week..

We've been trying to come up with a name for a new art unit at Stardock for the creation of graphical content and such.

Kristin put forth the name "Stardock Creative".

I thought, well, Put an X in front of it which will make it cool and call it Stardock XCreations.

With the tagline -- Stardock Xcreations - Look what I made.

It didn't get a lot of support.

I'm not sure I understand the gist of your comment.

But Stardock has written a media player application and it comes with Object Desktop. Are you suggesting it is somehow hard to write a media player?

I've heard Windows Media Player called many things but "Fast" isn't one of them. There's nothing particularly special about Windows Meida Player.
