Hosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott, Dave Kozicki and Katrina Smith
The Geek Actually Podcast is recorded live on Ustream with chat interaction.
After a shaky start (Dave was late), we finally got underway with Katrina stepping in earlier than planned. Dave finally joined us about 20 minutes into the show. The show is a little tech heavy this week but it has been a big week with Windows 7 being released.
Game News This Week: Civilization is coming to Facebook and a new study may link ADD with video game addiction. For more gaming news check out our other podcast, Platforms. See the bottom of this post for details.
The Great Internet Tech War of 2009: Apple seems to have lost it’s wit and just seemed a little nasty in it’s new ads and Motorola fires at Apple iPhone with it’s new phone, Droid.
Tech News This Week: Windows 7 has finally arrived and with it comes a new retail shop, Psystar releases the software that it uses to mack Hackintoshes and Nokia sues Apple for 10 patent infringements.
Entertainment News This Week: A new ‘Wolfman’ trailer tries to make it hip, Duncan Jones leads a grassroots campaign to get Sam Rockwell nominated for an Oscar, Jackie Earle Haley may be Sinestro in ‘Green Lantern’, Dylan Baker signed for ‘Spider-Man 4’ (maybe we finally meet The Lizard), Neil Blomkamp has secured financing for his next sci-fi film and does a successful trailer mean a successful film (or vice versa)?
Our Feature Reviews: For our feature review today we tackle the new horror film, ‘The Final Destination’ in 3D. This is the 4th film in the ‘Final Destination’ series and it is awful. David also manages to squeeze in a rant about the terrible Greater Union Cinema (Bondi Junction) 3D experience.
This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.

I believe what Katrina was referring to is called a Rube Goldberg Machine.
