MacBreak Weekly 36

Thanks to John Foster, once again, for our show notes:

• Talkshoe and the Street Sheet is in our future.
• What will you complain about now? A two tierpricing system? Later Barnes & Noble or Amazon. Grubar has some thoughts. Shipping later.
• Buy the iPod that John Kerry didn't want. Shipping isn't included in the final price
• Google Desktop has some sweet features. Now shipping.
• IRC? Who still uses IRC.
• Jobs says video will never be unDRM'd. As movies have always been DRM'd.
• Nothing else happened this week. No new Mac. No Octo. Check the Buyers Guide first.
• Drinks on the roof. Stand by while they finish building it.
• Baseball multi-watcher works on Mac's this year! Go Giants!
• Escher graphics engine drives the next version of Office for Mac. Shipping later.
• People that use 3x5 cards for presentations.

Picks of the Week

• Andy ran out of disk space and found out where it went by running Omni Disk Sweeper. Ships for free.
• Scott just bought a new Mac (D'oh!) but it didn't come with the latest Graphic Converter. Universal version now shipping.
• Photoshop CS3 and all it's brothers not shipping until later. Who uses Fireworks?
• OmniGraffle has a mind map feature.
• GIMP runs on Mac but why would you want to?
• Alex is now warning you about Desktop Tower Defense. Told you. If you play log your score to the MBW group. Sound effects are from Lemmings.

John recommends these Onions.
