Im at work so i cant listen but how was it? i think geek time has turned into one of the best simi regular 101 shows. i just hope ralph doesnt filibuster with all ipad talk. i think the movie/tv talk is the best part of the show. they have pretty cool opinions about lost and other shows im into. let me know how it went.

So far, it's been great. They've got Alison Haislip from G4 in the studio and she's been really good. Ralph did do some iPad drooling at the start but they joked about it and moved on.

I love this show but always seem to miss it due to the time slot. But I'm tuned in now.

They're going on about the iPad now. I understand the need to review a shiny new toy, but I mean, of 300,000 sold, how many are Sirius subscribers? Probably not a huge number, at least not enough to spend this much time turning the show into basically an Apple commercial.

A guy called in and mentioned his crappy old laptop does everything better than the iPad, which he bought, and really wanted to like. Ralph crapped all over him. The truth hurts!

Kind of been thinking Geektime has been slipping. There is too much they DON'T know and too much they get wrong. I get that they are fans, not experts, but 75% of what they talk about nobody has bothered doing any research.

I do love me some Alison Haislip, though, and she is fitting in really well. Brian Michael Bendis is also very funny on the show.

The iPad segment was definitely boring (and none of the other people in the studio spoke very much during it, which made it worse).

Alison has been great (and fits in well with the show). Bendis won major points for admitting that he and Ralph sound like annoying Apple fanboys.

That sums up most of the people on the Stern channels.
