The 404 720: Where an Angry Bird in the hand is worth two in the Hanukkah bush (podcast)
Posted in: Today's ChiliYou can thank today’s guest Natali Del Morris for the clever show title that incorporates two of Jeff’s favorite things: Angry Birds and Hanukkah! Actually, only one of those statements is true.
Topics for today include the arrival of Angry Birds Seasons, Mark Zuckerberg’s upcoming interview on “60 Minutes,” Michael Jackson’s new song release, the top searches in Yahoo Search and Microsoft Bing, a Playboy external hard drive, and a 3D porn channel launching in France. The rundown is packed today, so enjoy the show!
If you’re as obsessed with Angry Birds as Wilson, you’ll be happy to hear that Rovio, maker of the top-selling smartphone game, plan to release a console version for PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii next year. For non-players like Natali and me, here’s the gist: the video game tests your accuracy with a slingshot; it’s one of the most popular smartphone games right now, with more than 36 million downloads as of November.
Even better, Rovio will also release Angry Birds 2, a follow-up to the original game that will feature more of the same characters but with even more pigs to shoot with a slingshot. No word on whether Angry Birds will support motion control on those consoles, but if you can’t wait another year, the holiday expansion pack titled Angry Birds Seasons is now available for your addiction in the App Store.

It’s going to be a lot harder to hide this from your partner/parents/roommates, but imagine holding 56 years of Playboy magazines loaded onto an external hard drive. That won’t mean much to the kid with a hundred gigs of bootleg skinema buried in a system sub-folder, but surely some of our listeners remember analog porn and will appreciate the entire Playboy catalog in a 2.5-inch portable enclosure!
And while we’re on the subject, you should also check out the FleshDrive, a similar peripheral for the more “selective” consumer, and France’s new 3D on-demand porn channel.
Just after the break we wish a very happy birthday to Richard from Atlanta, who sent us this video voice mail!
