The 404 Podcast 547: Where we can has cheezburger…chipz

This is what happens when no one speaks up at team meetings. (Credit: CNET/The 404) We usually scold Wilson for eating on the air, but we’re making an exception today for a taste test of Jeff’s horrific supermarket wild card: Cheeseburger-flavored Doritos! Who knew that harnessing the sinewy flavor of cooked beef and artificial cheese would be such a catastrophe? It takes the three of us a few minutes to recover from the explosion of McNausea, but we get it together and move onto the big Apple news of the day: while many Appleheads are still clamoring over the forthcoming iPad release , the rumor mill is also churning about the fourth generation iPhone supposedly named the iPhone HD for its 960×640 screen. Other features to look out for include a front-facing camera for video calls and an software update that allows for application multitasking. Our own Apple fanboy Wilson G. Tang contributes his own concerns about battery life and network robustness, and also gives Jeff and I permission to tattoo a half-full hourglass on his face if his predictions are incorrect. Don't leave home without it! (Credit: Props Guy Jim/Steve Fatone/The 404) The latest tech trend to hit Japan is called “Ringtone Therapy” that promises the cure for fay fever and obesity by using simple sounds through your phone. Japanese citizens suffering from stuffiness, runny noses, and sneezing from the pollen in the air can call a service that emits noises that supposedly releases the pollen in your sinuses if the user holds the phone up to their nose. You know what else is good for protecting your sinuses? Not holding foreign objects up to your nose. We can’t thank Steve Fatone and Props Guy Jim enough for all the work they’ve done for the show. Whether it’s the Official 404 Temporary Tattoos , NDC’s Motherboard action figure , The 404 hoverboard from BTTF , or the Yu Be Gone spray repellent you see over there —> , these guys are a tremendous asset to the show and we’re honored to have them as friends, so thanks again guys!!! Let us know if there’s anything we can do to return the favor, keeping in mind that Wilson is no longer allowed to attend children’s birthday parties. Finally, be sure to tune into the second half of the show for Calls From the Public PLUS a couple E-Mails From the Public!
