Meta,
Video: Josh talks Apple on G4's Attack of the Show
In case you missed it, our fearless leader Joshua Topolsky made a guest appearance on tonight's Attack of the Show, waxing intellectual with host Kevin Pereira about Apple's recent handlings with Google Voice, Eric Schmidt, and of course discussion on the dual uni-powered tablet -- you'll see what we mean. Video after the break.



















Nice! Engadget people get all the fun.
Apple you say? I would have never guessed.
Sarcasm?
josh kinda reminds me of woody allen, but with facial hair.

(what ever happened to woody?)
Wow, I haven't seen AotS in years.
Lose the dork and put Olivia Munn in his place. I don't care what she's talking about as long as her lips are moving. This show has no content so who cares anyway.
You're right about "no content," but both hosts are horrible. I don't care what the hosts look like if all they do is speak in forced, un-funny banter. And anyway, why is Munn always wearing low cut shirts when she doesn't have anything to show off?
I almost threw up in the beginning.
"There all like LOL WTF OMG bros!" Jesus christ I hate G4
totally agree, G4 is terrible
In other news, G4's budget deficit has driven them to outsource their writing jobs to illiterate 13-year-old geeks.
the call-out label thingy sounds drove me freaking nuts.
Everything in my body hurts after watching that.
Joshua seems cool enough but who is that FOOL hosting the show. Mr. T wouldn't even Pity this FOOL and he claims to pity fools.
Throwing up would have been an appropriate response, i felt my whole face screw up like I had just tried eating concentrated lemons or something. And WTF has the FCC letter got to do with Schmidt, they would have been discussing this tactically for months, probably years. I mean sheet, Apple likely asked Google to make the App so they could reject it and have an easy out with AT&T "Oh, Sorry, the government told us to do it".
All the freakin Telcos are losing it over the force of VOIP and other revenue crushing tech that is piling up against their resistance. Time they realised we all already know its just Ones and Zeros. They are raking it in per bit on SMS and Voice; now there is where the FCC needs to start lopping heads, Telco protectionism. The charges in Australia are bad enough, I can't imagine if a Telco tried to tell me that I had to pay to receive a text. I'd have to return to my phreaking days.
@o29: Suggesting illiterate 13-year-old geeks work for G4 is an insult...to illiterate 13-year-old geeks.

Seriously what is this show it is such a joke. I can't believe I actually watched the whole thing, a whole 5 minutes. I want my 5 minutes back. I can't believe I typed this out too and wasted another 5 minutes.
What the hell? Sorry for the double post, but I got an email to confirm my comment, didn't realize it would double post.
Does anyone else get the random "confirm your post" emails or is it just me? Most of the time, my comments don't need confirmation, they just appear. Other times, I get a message saying they sent me an email to confirm (which takes forever to get to my email account). Still others, I get no message and no post. WTF Engadget?
decent
Nice to see Josh on TV again.. not so much what used to be TechTV....
TechTV? Bring back ZDTV!
Back when it actually was a network that had a soul and maturity, I would watch the video stream over a 56K modem connection on AOL because I was that devoted to it.
Now, I wont even watch the video for this story.
Leo Laporte was like tech Mr. Rogers. Call for Help gave me so much self esteem.
I hate G4. They took over TechTV and killed it!
I remember back when Attack of the Show used to be good. It was called The Screensavers.
First they killed TechTV. Then they practically killed themselves and regenerated into a half *** Spike TV clone.
oink
indeed...and one thing that i hate more is super energetic fast talking hosts. he's like a used car salesman on speed. i'm so excited, i'm so excited, i'm so...scared. settle down dude
ATOS is pointless but Web Soup can be funny.
D:
The Screensavers?!?!
Notalga'd
I lose. :(
Josh reminds me of a llama. Shave the beard!
hey, palm pre owners, i was thinking of getting one and was wondering how many apps are in the app catalog. it looks like a great phone. thanks, and sorry if this isn't relevant.
It's not relevent to this thread, but the Pre threads are usually hijacked by fanbois so what the hell.
There are 32 "official" apps in the App Catalog right now. That number is expected to go up soon, although there's no telling by how much.
There is also a decent size homebrew community creating quality apps independent of the App Catalog.
I sold Kevin speakers once.
Oh thats why hes so annoying and loud because hes using old speakers. Cool well at least I now know why I stopped Tivoing AOTS. Damn those speakers.
I remember that too, G4 is almost mind-numbing now. I feel like I'm actively losing IQ points if I wash it; the grey matter literally runs out my nostrils.
The Host is a spaz!! Holy Shit, less crack dude!
Leon!
G4 blows bring back techTV and Leo and Pat! Don't support this bullshit channel.
rev ision 3 dot com slash tekzilla
Never heard of it. But the host sounded like a wanna-be cheerleader leper trying to get in the clique with all those abbreviations.
Josh was utterly fabulous!
Your comment totally fits your avatar!
Haha I can totally see Dave Attell saying that.
What's Dave Attell got to do with it?
When Olivia Munn is on screen, you can mute the sound and it's not bad at all
Stop putting your tongue in Steve's ass RIGHT NOW !
Using Google talk to send texts is not theft you halfwit.
Kevin Pereira is the hotness.
Nando is the hotness.
@Daniel T: You keep being you. I can't believe you made me laugh twice in sixty seconds with your comments. At least we know where you're coming from and won't expect long, contorted, often sarcastic comments that miss the point (somewhat like mike).
Mike, your one dumbass idiot. If thats the case then Text plus Skype, and Text free are illegal
Dual Uni's!!!!!!
