Tom is unimpressed with Libratone’s new AirPlay equipped speakers. A new Yahoo! app reveals (to Tom at least) why Yahoo! is failing. Ultraviolet’s ultra-fail.

Listener Henry points out a speaker deal on Monoprice. Tom’s take. Oh, and there is some news on Tom’s new book, Bob Moore: Desperate Times. Soup to Nuts is on buying your first projector on a budget – what to look for. After the break, a few pics. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley!

You’ll have to get all the way to the end of the podcast to figure out the name. Sorry about that. Tom and Liz get their Netflix wish from listener Jason (thank you Jason). Speaking of Netflix, they lost a few subscribers. A Lego man washes up in Florida. Tom found a high-end/cost speaker which sends him on a rant. Meridian has released a “sub” that defies description. The video game industry might be getting a clue about piracy…or maybe not. Joss Whedon has Liz all excited about Shakespeare. Soup to Nuts is listener questions/comments from Alex, Simon, and Ahmed.

Check out the video below to get the skinny on Quantum Levitation. It is AWESOME. Evan has a problem with Spotify, as does Tom and Liz. Liz thinks salt is cool – not for the same reason Tom does. Vdio – What is it other than a stupid name? Tom talks about a few high end offerings from Thiel and Induction Dynamics which leads Liz to believe that “high end” is not the right term for these companies. A suggestion for Mythbusters. Liz’s new favorite TV show. This week’s Soup-to-Nuts is courtesy of a few listener questions. Simon has a question about battery backups. Evan figured out his optical problem, and Jason has a question about class H amps (here is some homework). Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley!

A more reasonable lengthed podcast this week. Tom is nearing the end of writing the sequel to Bob Moore: No Hero so it comes up a few times in the podcast. Of course, Steve Jobs passing has to be mentioned. Love or hate him, you can’t deny the effect he’s had on all of our lives. This week in Netflix – flip-flopping. Tom thinks a management change is in order, Liz disagrees. Liz thinks that UltraViolet is a lame name for a cool service. Tom agrees. Wait, a movie studio exec actually makes sense? What’s the world coming to? Can sound quality be measured? What does Alan Parsons think. This week’s Soup-to-Nuts is courtesy of listener Renny.
