The PC Pro Podcast

This week, we shamelessly plug our redesigned website. Plus Google's new beverage gets the once over; controversy over Microsoft abandoning IE6; we look at the wisdom of Sony's lack of VT support; Toshiba's capitulation in the format wars; and take a look at some a great new Android phone in Hot Hardware of the Week.

This week's packed podcast features an argument about projectors in cameras; an argument about the pros and cons of social networking; general agreement about the plight of Gary McKinnon; exasperation about the Windows 7 E reversal; and reassuringly concludes with an argument about the latest smartphone in Hot Hardware of the Week.

In an epic podcast this week we discuss Ofcom's investigation of British broadband speeds; get in a knotty argument over the latest news of Windows 7's default browser; ponder on the point of government tweets; look at the future of ARM; and check out the latest outrageous gaming laptop in Hot Hardware of the Week.

This week we overcome swine flu to bring you the news of Amazon redacting Kindle novels by remote control; the world's most expensive USB flash drive and what on earth you'd use it for; the latest on Windows 7; that phone from Apple again; and a very expensive but very lovely monitor in Hot Hardware of the Week.

On this week's podcast we deliver our first impressions of Office 2010, discuss the rush for Windows 7, applaud Stephen Fry's blast at the music industry and consider appointing a 15-year-old as editor of PC Pro. And finally, Tim Danton nominates Sony's debut netbook as Hot Hardware of the Week.

As our weekly podcast flips its sixth bit, we discuss the announcement of Google’s new operating system, ponder Sony’s long-anticipated entry into the cut-price netbook market and reflect on a very bad week for web-snooping service Phorm. Our hot hardware is Sony’s HDR-TG7VE, the first camcorder we’ve seen with a built-in GPS receiver.

This week we find out why Brits have been buffeted with the Windows 7 prices, if Wikipedia was right to falsify articles to save a life, and discover why the EC is now a force for good. Plus, the Apple iPhone 3GS vies for the title Hot Hardware of the Week.

This week we panic about the internet killing all the humans, look at the wisdom of Intel and Nokia's cosy tie-up, marvel at plug-sized PCs, how anyone in their right mind would give their Facebook details to their employer, and look at a super little USB-connected monitor.

This week the UK's Digital Britain report hits the agenda; we look at the joy of Microsoft's EU-prompted actions; Opera re-invents the web; Google and Microsoft do some sparring in the playground; and we look at the smallest fully fledged PC we've ever seen.

This week, Apple comes in for a bit of stick over its latest stuff; Darien pledges allegiance to the Pirates (or tries to); we ponder how to stop the IT guy reading our email; rumours of Windows 7 pricing appear; and we have some diminutive hot hardware of the week in the shape of an ExpressCard SSD.

Discussion of the week this week is who's winning: Google or Microsoft? Plus we look at Phorm's new service launch and argue the finer points of whether speed bumps for filesharers is a good idea. Hot hardware of the week is a very, very fast PC.

This week we ask how Britain’s going to fill its three million broadband notspots, wonder whether the Zune HD will ever land in Blighty and discuss the arrival of Android apps on Ubuntu. Plus, will the Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision make it as our Hot Hardware of the Week?

The big debate of the week is Wolfram Alpha – revolutionary tool or know-nothing toy? The team also discuss the future of tabbed browsing, concerns over the price of Windows 7 and the dangers of being electrocuted by your iPod. Our hot hardware hopeful is the tiny Acer Revo system, the first commercial PC to partner an Atom CPU with discrete graphics.

On this week's show the team debates the fallout from Intel's massive fine from the EU competition watchdogs - and whether the PC makers got off lightly. Plus: Carphone takes over Tiscali, Google's pre-emptive strike on Wolfram Alpha and the Chumby is nominated for Hot Hardware of the Week.

This week, Windows 7 is back in the news with the public availability of the release candidate; Amazon decides to save the newspaper industry single-handed (sort of); botnet hijackers reveal startling web habits; Google Chrome is allegedly doomed; and another absolutely enormous laptop goes through the wringer in hot hardware of the week.
