at&t and sling, 15% rebate on faulty iMacs, multi-touch lands on the nexus one, facebook’s new design, and Flash vs HTML5
This week on my Untitled Folder we bring back a guest that almost everyone loved. Bill returns from his snowy life to talk to Wilt and myself about AT&T allowing Sling to stream on 3g. In addition, we break down what is going on with the continued 27inch iMac, why Google released a multi-touch update to the Nexus One, and why Rupert Murdoch is a big tool. We finish off the show with an expose encompassing the Flash and HTML5 war that the iPad has started. Hopefully everyone is doing well and if you have any questions feel free to shoot them to shout [at] myuntitledfolder [dot] com or comment up, ciao!

Greasemonkey has been a favorite Firefox plugin for many power users for years. It is Firefox’s go-to scripting tool with 40,000 user scripts found at Userscript.org and to this day the community holds a serious growth curve. Sure, Firefox commands 46.4 percent of the overall browser market but, what about the new upstarts like Google Chrome and Safari (not so much a new upstart as a triple breasted hoar of yester-year). You can breath easier tonight because the wait is surely over for all you Chrome and Chromium Mac / Linux users. Chromium, for those who don’t know, is a nightly build that gets an update every night…duh, it’s in the name, come on (often quite buggy)!
Unlike Firefox, there is no add-on to manage the userscripts. You simply find the specific script you want, say for instance helvetimail (yes I am a type nerd, no need to poke fun), click install, click accept on the popup at the bottom of Chrome and BOOM, fin. To remove or modify a script all you need to do is point your browser to chrome://extensions/ and you can see everything that is currently installed. Why is this important you might ask? It brings Chrome right inline with Firefox functionality and allows the super speedy Chrome to be a serious contender on the geek desktop. In addition, if you have yet to give Chrome a whirl, you are definitely missing a bullet train of a browser. IE lovers need not apply.

iphone 0s 3.2 sdk and voip, engadget allows you boot Apple, pee behind the imac screen, and Tesla decides to “retool” for their IPO
This week on my Untitled Folder Wilt and Braden explore what it is like to create several shows in one week’s time. Dealing with a healthy amount of iPad love (at least I know I am) we retool our ideas from Wednesday afternoon. In addition, we talk about some new VOIP restrictions not seen in the new iPhone OS 3.2 SDK and who has been peeing on all the 27inch iMacs. We end on a rather odd point today, talking about Elon Musk, IPO ideas for Tesla and the future of a car company that doesn’t plan on selling cars…for a couple of years. This might sound like it produces our shortest episode yet but, don’t cry, we miss that mark by a couple of minutes. Show notes and love affairs below
