Clowntown gets a new mayor! The dual CEOs at RIM are out, only to be replaced by another guy mouthing the same tired platitudes. We also cover the SOPA blackout, the Megaupload shutdown, a kerfuffle over iBooks Author, some staggering tablet statistics, and Youtube hitting 4 billion views A DAY. That’s mental. Tweet This...

Jerry Yang is out at Yahoo, RIM is trying to sell itself, Sarah Lacy gets $2.5 million (!) to make a promotional…uh, I mean, informative new blog about startups, Rupert Murdoch is old and insane, and Google can’t stop screwing around with your search. Throw in cloud gaming with Onlive, pro video people moving...

A packed proceeding at Platformer, with news from CES, Barnes and Noble possibly selling off the Nook, Cable cutters uniting, and an offensive PSA from ICE. We also go off on a rant about Thunderbolt, wax poetic about iMessage, and hail the return…of Clowntown. Yahoo gets a new CEO Why Google should buy Nook...

It’s our first annual year-end prognosticatin’ and predictin’ jamboree!

SOPA gets raked over the coals, Final Cut Pro X is apparently the best video app of the year (NOT according to Warren), the PS Vita is out….in Japan, and we introduce a very special segment named Clowntown. You’ll never guess who it’s about. Tweet This Post

HP really screws up, Amazon wants to own everything, Thunderbolt ain’t all that, and the three of us discuss the Higgs Boson with not a hint of expertise or even informed wisdom.

Not to beat a dead horse, but…c’mon RIM! Drunk execs shutting down flights AND half a billion in Playbook losses? The boys spend a good amount of time musing on Canada’s one Great Technological Hope, before moving onto the CarrierIQ controversy, Firefox’s descent, Apple TV rumours, and Gowalla’s purchase by Facebook, which sets Todd...

Amazon sells Kindle Fires like, well, a house on fire, screenless games, Rovio tells Zynga to take a $2 billion hike, and Arkham City gets love from Warren and tough love from Todd. Also, Warren puts his foot in his mouth at least 10 times. Yum. Tweet This Post

Chip has a mea culpa, VMWare Fusion lets you virtualize Leopard and Snow Leopard, Ice Cream Sandwich phone tastes great, and Apple fashion from days gone by. On this, the 20th Platformer Podcast! Tweet This Post

iPod Nano recall, iTunes Match is born, Steam and Safari compromised, and mobile Flash is dead. But it isn’t all bad, as the boys put in an epic length podcast, and let’s not forget that somewhere out there, Google is working on networked dinner plates and space elevators. Tweet This Post
