BOL 1073: Open Android Alliance to fight Google's evil empire

A Google Android mod received a cease and desist for including Google apps in the mod. Seriously? Google may not be a walled garden with a high wall but it's a walled garden nonetheless. And it's pretty sad when your open-source project gets protested for not being open. We also discuss whether the Dell Latitude Z series is for posers. Or us. Or both. Which makes us posers. Own it, people.

BOL 1067: Pre-roll is the new Rick Roll

A listener reports that NFL.com subjected him to a 75-second pre-roll ad. Not funny, NFL. In the news today, the FCC proposes codifying Net neutrality rules, and much as we'd love to leave it to the market and the telcos, well, we just don't trust the telcos. Rules, FTW! Unless it's rules on selling energy-hog TVs. Those aren't cool.

Garmin Nuvi 1690 features free NuLink data services

We had our first peak at it when it was leaked by FCC documents back in July, but Garmin has just made the Nuvi 1690 official, clearing up the speculation around its newest connected PND. Here's the skinny:

The Nu Nuvi features a built-in cellular data connection, which allows it to access a service that Garmin has dubbed NuLink. The most interesting bit of news here is that the NuLink service will be free for the first two years of ownership, after which users will be given the option of discontinuing the NuLink service or paying a monthly service … Read more

Link Garmin Nuvi 765T with Bluetooth car stereo

One of the Garmin Nuvi 765T's coolest features is its capability to connect with a Bluetooth-compatible phone for hands-free calling, but did you know that this Nuvi also supports A2DP audio streaming?

In this Quick View video, I'll show you how to pair your Garmin Nuvi 765T to a Bluetooth compatible car stereo (in this case, the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid) to hear your turn-by-turn directions, MP3s, or Audible.com audiobooks via your car's speakers, instead of the Garmin's tiny speaker.

BOL 1036: Twitter Viagra?

So, Twitter has had a hard time staying up today because of a denial of service attack. But we think we have the answer. And it's available in many spam e-mails for order. We also get in a big, fat argument about whether News Corp. will win or lose by charging for all its news sites. But we can all agree on Whisky.
