Dave and Sean review a comic, Natal ain’t gonna happen (or is it?), Canadian Kindle (’bout damn time… Now where’s my MP3 store?) and Chrome OS. Casio is going extreme (kinda) and find out what Kevin Spacey and Seals are doing in Quinn’s Photography and Tech. MAD SCIENCE explores every nerd’s dream suit and forcefields!

Scott — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 18:43:30 +0000

Dave’s review features a triple A (he gave an A for Agents of Atlas, get it?). Big brother is lookin’ at you, you lousy parents. We’re trying not to lose our 2TB sticks and defending our mice (or is it mouses?) from the sweat monster. Quinn shows off a cool camera/projector and some bad-ass video, and Sean’s back this week with his MAAAAAAD SCIIIIEEEENCE! All this and possibly a little more rambling in this week’s Dos Time Live.
