Talkcast tonight, 10 pm: Apple sings a new tune with Lala acquisition

We had a delightful chat last week with our friend Dan de Grandpre from Dealnews as we dove into the early information from Black Friday and looked forward to Cyber Monday. Beth Gladstone from WalletPop wasn't able to be with us, but she's promised to come back another Sunday very soon. You can download the shows direct from Talkshoe or subscribe on iTunes.
Tonight, we're back live at 10 pm ET with the usual gang of ruffians, plus our frequent guest Ross Rubin of Engadget and NPD, as we mull over the Apple acquisition of Lala. Do join us!
To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, the embedded Facebook app, or the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in.

To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8.
If you've got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac, you can connect via the free Gizmo or X-Lite SIP clients; basic instructions are here. Talk with you then!

Isn't this where we insert jokes about "Lala land?".
Seriously though, this is worrying me about Apple now having an excuse to oust apps like Pandora from the app store.
Thanks for letting me rant about the Apple Snow Leopard Seminar, too bad it was a more marketing and less technical event, but the free 10.6 evaluation copy made up for the hours of "how to use iCal".
One thing I forgot to bring up was with the addition of Google DNS last week many are wondering who has the best DNS service, Google, OpenDNS, Neustar, or Level 3?
With this easy to use shell script for terminal you can find out which is fastest for you. http://gadgetboyo.com/DNS-test.html
Also forgot to mention ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 is in Beta and free for Mac users until March 2010. http://beta.eset.com
