It's 16 days in with no drinking, and Alex finds it to be pretty boring, but he's grinding in World of Warcraft like crazy. Kevin has been playing a lot of Rock Band and guitar Hero but hasn't been dating as much. But the one thing everyone can agree is that they feel better and healthier than ever and are losing weight, so the affects are somewhat positive.
You know you've been waiting to hear the guys' reaction to the New Apple MacBook Air. Kevin thinks its amazing and Alex thinks its almost too thin, but its definitely sexy looking. Kevin also provides the breakdown on all the news from MacWorld including the AppleTV updates which make podcast watching even better. Digg This Story
Right before CES, some announcements about Warner Brothers and Blu-Ray has led to Blu-ray supporters smelling victory. HD-DVD took a huge hit with this, enough for Kevin to think the High Definition disc war is over. Digg This Story
A photo of Carmen Electra without make up leads someone to say, "I had no idea Carmen Electra was this pretty..." Kevin was surprised at how positive the comments on the digg post were, even though he has a hard time finding an example. Digg This Story
If you like new tv's, then you'll be impressed by how the Pioneer's concept Kuro kicks currents Kuro's ass! This new tv has such a dark black, you can't tell when its on or off. It's amazing when it comes to comparing it to existing televsions. Digg This Story
After the pay your own price experiment, Radiohead is now the top-selling CD in the US! Once the new Radiohead CD came into stores, it shot to the top of the charts leads people to believe that the experiment worked. Digg This Story
This one may be inaccurate, but it's worth checking out, an amazing tennis serve. It may be fake and might have been a commercial, but regardless, Alex thinks its worth watching. It reminds Kevin of a funny video for a fake Powerthirst drink. Digg This Story
This might be inaccurate as well, but it's been reported that Gizmodo has been officially banned from CES. After walking around CES with a TV-B-Gone device, Gizmodo brought havoc to booths and presentations at CES, by turning off televisions. Everyone can agree that ruining someone's demonstration just isn't cool. Digg This Story

[COLOR="Magenta"]First several minutes are about weight loss. I lost 110 pounds last year, and barely 2 so far this year. Fail.
Betcha they won't want to drink as much next month. Their tolerance will be lower.[/COLOR]

I don't think you "lose" tolerance. I think tolerance is a state of mind. Besides, most people who are easy drunks are either light-weights or acting out and using the booze as an excuse.

I didn't even notice the episode was out. I thought it would show the latest episode on the front page or something. Anyways, downloading now. PS Is there any torrents for this episode? I'd prefer to download this show via torrent than http. I sometimes loose my internet connection, and I never found a good, spyware free download manager yet.

That James guy who came out to MacWorld thinking there was going to be a live Diggnation was just "featured" on episode 123 of MacBreak.










download question
I still don't think blu ray has won.
