Very good show. I don’t understand why you would want to run Chrome as an OS. I’d rather run Chrome on an OS if I wanted to run Chrome at all.

Right now I’m running Firefox at home and IE at work.

I won’t be watching your show off this site anymore because of the annoying blue bar that keeps popping up

When is Natali Del Conte going to be on again?

If you need a daily fix of Natalie Del Conte, she is over at Cnet TV. Watch her “adjust” herself on the latest BOL.

She will also be anchoring the CBS overnight news next week.

Sorry I don’t turn off my adblock just to watch internet. Next topic for your show might be “How to please the consumer by allowing those who use adblocking software to see your show without having them to turn off the very thing they installed for a reason”.

First time I’ve watched your show. Good job! I’m going to become a regular watcher.
Windows 7 is by far the best operating system that Microsoft has released since MS-DOS 3.30! I can’t understand why anyone would want an alternative (such as Chrome OS).
And I did not have to turn off AdBlock Plus to watch this show — it worked just fine.

1) I get my Cranky Geeks via RSS and Miro.

2) Natalie Del Conte is totally the hottie but I think Molly Wood is funnier.

For some reason the video will play up to the opening credits then stops!

Server issues!?

Any Natalie’s “leaked out” home videos out there?
THAT would be interesting to watch!

oops, forgot:

#7, Improbus

Absolutely right!
Molly Wood is funnier. She is THE best female crank ever (so far).
And she’s still hottie too

# 5 If they get the money they won’t run the adds. I don’t mind the adds.

So the Adamo doesn’t open if there’s no power, huh? That’s gonna be a hit with the TSA screeners.

#7 The problem is the RSS feed is that it is consistently 1 or 2 days behind
