Looks like an itunes phone, but is there more? * Creative ships the Neeon MP3 player with a Windows worm. * Is Creative #2 in the MP3 player market? They want 40% of the market by the end of 2005, but they're losing money right now. * Google boycott of cnet reaches week six. * Free Linspire at least till Sept. 6th. That might be more interesting news if there weren't already better free versions like Debian, Gentoo, etc. * Roger McGuinn brought us the Samson C01U USB Mic - it's just $80 and perfect for podcasting (or recording). * Roger's owns his own record company now... which means he actually makes money instead of the record companies. * Apple kills the Mac mini test drive in one day. Why? * Textamerica is offering a way for cell phone users in the wake of Katrina to tell loved ones they're ok. * We were mesmerized by the Katrina blog from Output Crystal. * Katrina: how is WiMAX going to work if there's no electricity? * The Associated Press is offering Internet access to a satellite image that covers most of New Orleans, detailed enough that viewers can zoom in to check on particular neighborhoods and streets. * Scott from Reseller Rattings is offering matching donations to Katrina to the Red Cross up to $10,000 * Arlo Rose from Konfabulator joins us. It's now free from Yahoo! * Alex Lindsay from DV Garage and the Pixel Corps announced MacBreak the new IPTV show he's doing with Leo. * Who isn't?

Acoustic Guitar magazine is giving one away. * Listener Questions: * What's our biz model? * How do we create RSS feeds? Kevin's doing his in house... Feedburner does a good job of turning blogs into podcasts. Leo uses (and loves) Feeder. Jon of the Jon Hammond show uses .Mac and Rapid Weaver. * Why did Yahoo! go w/ $1.99 to host domains? It costs at least $4.00 to do the work w/ InterNIC... We think it's a loss leader to get you to buy other Yahoo! webhosting products. * Where is the PowerPC going after Apple? John says it's dead. * Gentoo Developer Chris notes crazy patents like the Tarzan yell and swing. * Ashley... thanks for the Doin' The TWiT theme!!! * Live next week at Noonan's in Larkspur Landing, CA.Running time: 1:35:04
