The 404 Video (SD)
Summary: A pop-cult fix for a generation that grew up playing Nintendo and watching Saturday morning cartoons, the 404 podcast, with hosts Jeff Bakalar and Justin Yu, gives you the latest news in gadgets, social media, video games, and movies with snarky commentary and the occasional tasteless joke.

Merriam-Webster dropped an F-Bomb on its Collegiate Dictionary, so why can't we? Today's show marks the return of...Mark, better known as MTI from the old days of The 404. Joey's also back to tell us what it was like to grow up in Manhattan during the Great Depression, and we'll also sort through our wishlist for the next Apple iPhone 5.
Joseph Kaminski and Bridget Carey help me kick off a week of 404 episodes without Jeff, and we'll start by questioning the use of technology in the Olympics--do advanced equipment like Speed's LZR swimsuits and Nike's Speedsuits give athletes an unfair advantage? We'll also brainstorm the best music to motivate a workout, and look at a Web site that uses Twitter for pure evil.
CNET audio expert Steve "Sphere" Guttenberg helps us wrap up a week of shows with an episode that may offend a very niche segment of our listeners. Steve's carefully curated list of talking points includes a pair of custom custom headphones, a primer on John Lennon's jukebox, a tiny $39 amp that makes your headphones sound a lot better, and more!
We've heard stories about 3D printers being used for both good and evil, but we're not sure how to categorize a company in Japan offering pregnant women a 3D-printed model of their unborn fetuses. Gross. Other stories on today's podcast include a crowdsourced funding site for porn, Amazon accidentally shipping assault rifles, and a sealed first-gen iPhone hitting eBay for $10,000.
Sal Cangeloso from Geek.com joins us in the studio for a crash course on LED lighting. As an expert on the subject, Sal helps us understand the challenges facing early adopters of the technology, the cost and performance advantages of LED bulbs, and the creative ways that people are using them, from the Occupy movement to the opening ceremony at the London Olympics.
Today we'll book our tickets to the next night at Club Applebee's, brainstorm the sneaky new ways students are using technology to cheat more than ever, discuss a Kickstarter campaign to throw a convention for gay gamers, and discuss a future on the horizon where the absence of a Facebook profile makes you "suspicious."
Bridget Carey is in again for Justin Yu on a show where we try and wrap our heads around the fact that we've sent a robot to the Martian surface. Plus, we'll look at the first headphones for cats, how to pack an emergency drive, an over-the-top Batcave home theater, and a story about the current worst word in the English language
Bridget Carey is filing in for Justin Yu on a show where we weigh the pros and cons of an actual real-life Jurassic Park -- because there's an Austalian billionaire who's noodling the idea. We'll also check out some of Jeff's interview with Broken Lizard stars Jay Chandrasehkar and Kevin Heffernan about their new film, The Babymakers.
The 404 Show's Jeff Bakalar sat down with two of the members of the Broken Lizard comedy group, Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan. In this exclusive extended interview, they talk about the new film "The Babymakers," a sequel to "Super Troopers," "Potfest," trying to work with Bill Murray, and much more.
Peter Ha stops by the 404 studio today for an update on what's going on at TechCrunch. We'll also chat with him about his time at The Daily and its recent cuts, Facebook reporting more than 83 million fake users, and the ups and downs of Sriracha hot sauce lollipops from ThinkGeek!
Can you believe that Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" premiered on MTV two decades ago? We're all feeling a little old, so we'll cheer ourselves up with a picture collection of Olympic divers in mid-jump. We'll also talk about Nasa airing the Mars Landing in Times Square, review the new Digg homepage, and give a thumbs up to FCC for telling Verizon to permit tethering apps.
Complaining about NBC's coverage of the London Olympics is a sport we can all engage in, but the programming tape delay isn't the network's fault--it's the Internet's. Today we'll discuss the games' corporate sponsorship and its effects on social media coverage, the FBI gathering a database of tattoos, and our collective ability to predict illness on Twitter.
On today's show we're discussing proper movie etiquette as told from a theater manager, Olympics sticky tactics, Justin's mystery notebook, and how to win a RenewSleep Clock!
Jeff gives a spoiler-free review of "The Dark Knight Rises," plus a bunch of lesser-known facts about the Batman movie franchise on today's 404 episode.
In what may be the first documented digital hate crime, The 404 tells the story of a professor assaulted in a Parisian McDonalds for wearing a set of cybernetic glasses. This story plus more fast food news and a 150-foot Batman on today's 404 show.
