I can't think of anything witty to put on this image. Just make up your own jokes.

Hey all! This episode, we’re joined by someone who you’ve not heard is quite some time. The original Widget alumni: CountZer0. Why you ask? Because he has written a children’s book. Fancy that… Topics this week include:

  • SOPA, PIPA proponents back down in Congress. Yea! The Internet wins!! Though both are merely delayed rather than cancelled.
  • Megaupload shut down, founders arrested in New Zealand at behest of U.S. agencies; Anonymous targets record labels, FBI, MPAA sites in response Link and Upload.to blocks US access to site.
  • Kim DotCom’s cars seized.
  • CES : Wireless TV. LG 55″ OLED TV.  Project Fiona (aka more Razor Vaporware). 802.11ac. Waterproof phones.
  • No method of delivering true 4K content confirmed.
  • Apple intros iBooks 2, iBooks Author; proprietary ePub format locked down to only work on Apple gear and iBookstore
  • iPad 3 unveiling rumored for early February
  • Alienware intros X51 console-sized gaming computer starting at $700 Link
  • AMD Radeon 7950 card due by end of month.
  • iPhone 4s and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak finally released on IOS 5.01. XBMC 11 (Eden) beta working great on iOS touch screens now.
  • XBMC shown running on the Raspberry Pi.
  • Kodak files for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  • X-Rangers spoof.
  • No official Steve Jobs doll for Dave. Tim provides alternative.
  • More poor PS Vita sales. Now down to 19,000 units sold in a week.
  • Bioshock infinite set to party like its 1999.
  • Cuttherope.ie brings Cut The Rope to HTML 5.

What is Dave holding in his left hand?

Be thankful I cropped it: nobody needed to see what Dave is holding in his left hand.

Paul has found time in his oh-so-busy schedule to make an appearance on the show, and for that, we are grateful. Lots of fun this week. Here’s the list:

  • iOS 5 is out, and we give our thoughts
  • AMD’s Bulldozer chips are out and fail to impress
  • Samsung announces the Galaxy Prime
  • Hard drive storage is about to increase thanks to salt
  • Netflix loses 800,000 subscribers: UK and Ireland launching soon
  • Panasonic gets out of the plasma television business
  • Nvidia 3D Vision 2 promises a brighter future
  • Nintendo is hemorrhaging cash
  • and so much more
Plus, a dash of Viewer Mail from our good buddy Bad Grammar Terry. We think he loves us. Also: if you’re interested in owning that swanky ‘Punch it, Chewie’ t-shirt, head over to http://www.cafepress.com/thewidgetshow to snag yours!

Just like we always suspected.

Just like we always suspected.

This week, Paul and Tim are joined by long-time internet friend MacDragon, or Dave if you’d like. There is an unusual amount of talk about sports at the beginning, and well, we’re sorry. No worries though, as we make up for it with more nerdy nonsense than you could shake a dead baby at. Paul goes 3D with his gaming thanks to his spiffy new 120hz monitor and Nvidia glasses, Tim finally get a damn Wii, and Dave comes clean on a bad experience he had at the Apple Store.
