Marware iPod Shuffle Dock
USB Travel Dock for the 2nd-Gen Shuffle
Link: Marware
A USB travel dock for the 2nd-Gen iPod Shuffle from Marware. The new Shuffle does not come with a USB plug any more and requires a dock and cable to connect to a computer. The Marware dock is like a USB thumb drive and is much handier than Apple's dock and cable method.
The Doom of Society
Despite his protestations, Dick loves the Toothpick Bird (Episode 282) because it's lowered the bar so much for him. Dick remarks that even the Spork (Episode 182) has generated tons of love mail. Years from now, later generations are going to find out the reason for the doom of our current society - all because we worship the Toothpick Bird as God.
File Numbering
Only This Week in Tech has a 4-digit file numbering, but of course, of all the podcasts Leo does, the only show that has the remotest chance of reaching a 4-digit number is the Daily Giz Wiz.
An Apple Cables Tip from Leo
The iPod video actually works with normal AV cables (3.5mm jack to 3-way RCA cables). Just switch them around. Plug the red RCA jack to the TV's yellow RCA port, the yellow RCA plug to the TV's white RCA port, and the white RCA plug to the TV's red RCA port. There is no need to buy the expensive ones from Apple.
Gadget Dreamhouse
Leo said he'd love to have a cellphone with 2-way video conferencing functionality (Episode 278). Tim from Australia says, "Come to Australia!", to use their 3G bandwidth there. Or come to most of Asia and Europe.

Warning for the Letters Jingle
Perl expert Randal Schwartz has taken to heart the suggestion by another listener about warning the audience of the Letters Jingle (see Episode 266), and thinks that there should be a jingle for the Letters Jingle.
Gadget Dreamhouse
Darone suggests that Dick and Leo do a Gadget Dreamhouse, for gadgets of the future. His own dream gadget is a digital picture frame which has a swivel at the back so that the frame iself will automatically rotate depending on whether the photo is portrait or landscape style. Leo's wishes are modest: a cellphone or smartphone with video capabilities or a portable satellite radio with a consistent signal.
