    Apple I understand, Google I get, even Microsoft has been building their brand lately. But who sits around tweeting about Samsung?

    As a San Diego native that last post was interesting.

    The ironic thing about such "nice" weather all the time is that we start to crave "shitty" weather. I just want it to rain so badly sometimes. Sunshine can get so boring sometimes. #gizmodoremainders

    @Mad as a Hatter: Ah, I hear you. I lived in the Inland Empire for a few years during college. While there was slightly more variance in the weather there than here, it was still pretty consistent. Consistently ugly. I'll take SD's consistent beauty any day.

    But I did spend some time in Toronto and they had this crazy thing over there. It was called "winter." Never heard of that before. #gizmodoremainders

    Samsung is my brand of choice for everything from cell phones to towels

    and Sony is the brand I avoid for the same pieces above

    I tried out all three NPR iPhone apps (Public Radio, PRI, NPR Addict) on my iPhone on my bus ride and they all run pretty damn well. As I recall, they're all free (or maybe a dollar), so there's no reason not to have all three if you're an avid listener. Listening to "Wait Wait" on demand was nice.

    Of course, an FM tuner built-in would have been nicer.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Why didn't you already have the Wait Wait podcast?

    If you're listening to Morning Edition or another live show, I can understand how this is useful, but once Apple made it possible to use the iTunes store over Wifi or 3G, what's the point?

    @SwatLax: Because I was without internet access this weekend, the podcast was too big to download on 3G, and BoltBus is not iPhone WiFi friendly.

    Which is why the On Demand was a godsend.

    I have to say that I've been loving internet radio of all kinds on my Winmo smartphone.

    Resco Pocket Radio
    WunderRadio
    Pandora

    -all of these have been great fun, and have given me a reason to carry those cool folding speakers I Wooted last year!

    Radio on demand via the interweb seems like a logical step, and access to older shows is just great.
    I hope other networks catch on.

    @masticator: Some would argue that not giving a shit, as you so eloquently put it, may not be relevant itself, as the services available for Windows Mobile, while not worth giving a shit per your very valuable assessment, doesn't affect the worth of the services mentioned, thus cancels out your argument in a poof of logic.

    Hi everyone, I'm GitEmSteveDave with This American Comment. In todays comment, we look at two stories of shows on NPR, and the effect this app may have on them.

    Act One:This American Life. TAL has been hurting lately, especially with bandwidth costs, which is why they charge for back episodes. This might not be so good for them.

    Act Two is Wait, Wait...Don't tell me. I will say being able to hear some classic Wait, Wait... would make my heart happy.

    @HumungaCowabunga_GitEmSteveDave: Hi. OMG! Ponies! for This American Comment again. I'd like to talk to you about something. Something very real. Something that we don't talk about.

    As you might know, the recession has been hitting everyone, including the blogosphere. I know what you're thinking. "But how can it affect them? They're not real reporters. All they do is leech off of newspapers. Other than Starbucks and MacBook computers, what the hell do they pay for?"

    Now think about that. If they're leeches, then what are commenters? After all, we leech off of them.

    Folks, the special snark that is blogging doesn't come free. And name-calling doesn't get to the root of the problem. Blogging costs money. For example, Blam's sweatpants look like shit but they are designer shitty sweatpants. And Chen's Time Banana was costly - both to write and to create in real life.

    There's also the legal costs associated with Frooch who is still defending the claim against Demetri Martin for stealing his look. And officially, we stand by Frooch's claim that Demetri stole his look from Frooch.

    Finally, there's the fire insurance that we had to take out on Ginger - which is costly because his pale skin could burst into flames at any given time and because his hair is perpetually on fire.

    These things cost money, folks. So please, give to This American Comment.

    We're a leader. We put the "exception" in exceptionalism. And if you don't like it, we'll drop a cluster-bomb on you. So for the next 30 days, you can take you multi-lateralism and spirit of international cooperation and shove it.
