About insurance against improved iPods: get a Costco membership. You can return any item at any point in time. I just finished listening on my fourth-generation iPod that I got by exchanging my third-generation.

Talk about jank? I just downloaded Tetris for iPod. After level 15, it stopped. You can beat Tetris?

I have to defend Borat. I've been watching him forever. His character is at least six or at least seven or eight years old.

Invasion of beer's privacy--Shalin
Heineken is going to track their beer using satellite uplinks and other wireless communication. Article excerpt:
---
Beer Living Lab is a pilot project that will track 20 beer containers shipped from the Netherlands to Heineken's U.K. distribution center. Each container will be outfitted with GSM, GPRS, and global positioning systems. Satellite uplinks will be provided due to particular technical problems with RFID, which can be read only when the tag is close to a RFID reader.

The data will be transmitted to a computer center hosted by IBM; the WebSphere platform will be used to run the service software.

Wow...well, I guess if you HAVE to know where your beer is this is a way to do that. What about doing this for airline luggage or prisoners?

Shotgun seasoning--Richard Smith
The shotgun seasoning story was a hoot. I'd give it a try if it weren't for the whole frozen turkey thing. The seasoning might ricochet back at me. Anyhow, I figured I'd offer a tip to others Buzz listeners who might consider this particular culinary approach. I'm thinkin' they'd be better off using bird shot and not buck shot. Bird shot cartridges project a large number of very tiny pellets--hundreds of 'em--at the future entree. Buckshot, on the other hand, projects a small number of rather large pellets, each the size a very large ball-bearing. So you see, buckshot would just blast the flavor right on through, whereas birdshot would nicely sprinkle the bird with el sabor.

Turkey shot seasoning might not work so well--Quentin
I writing you concerning the flavoring your turkey with a buck shot. From growing up in a family of hunters there is a small problem with this, when you are hunting turkey you have to shoot them head to kill them. Shooting turkey in the body where all the feathers are will not do much it, because when you shoot a turkey with a buck shot most of the small pellets will deflected by the feathers. So unless you want to shoot the turkey after it has been killed and plucked or you could just flavor the head by shooting it and eat that this new turkey flavoring system will not work well! Love the Pod Cast keep up the good work!

Molo means hello, sort of--j.
Just thought I'd let you know... Molo is a Xhosa greeting... pronounced something like "maw-law." My name is Jonathan.
