    Hey, everyone, it’s The Tech Offensive Netcast 10 (NOT episode 11), Macworld 2008 coverage part deux. Also check out the first half of our Macworld netcast, and our original Macworld consolidated news post.

    Due to technical difficulties*, this will be a rare CHOOSE YOUR OWN NETCAST edition of The Tech Offensive…when silence occurs, please assume that Aaron is uttering one of the following:

    • a dick joke,
    • a pussy joke (or reference to),
    • a racist comment,
    • something about strippers,
    • something witty about how gay Ross is (even though he’s not on the cast).

    Please also feel free to laugh or be offended accordingly.

    Thanks again to Jacques Vaughn for returning to the cast, Scott Tridle for calling in for the first time and of course to Bennett Leader and Aaron Colter for joining us.
