Jeff hasn't finished complaining about last year's Retina Display iPad yet and Apple went ahead and announced a new 128-gigabyte model for $799. But wait, haven't we been getting beaten in the head with Apple's cloudcentric messaging for the last two years? Why the push for local storage all of a sudden? In pop culture news, we'll spend some of the first half talking about mistaken identities through the Internet and the "Catfish" show on MTV that just wrapped up its first season. Some critics accused the episodes of being staged (like the film it was based on), but a casting application for Season 2 at least proves that the stories are staged at most, not entirely made up. Finally, let's talk for a minute about JJ Abrams directing Star Wars Episode VII. Last week, Disney and Lucasfilm confirmed that the next Star Wars film would be released in 2015, but we won't be standing in line for its release. Tune in to hear why no subsequent films in the series will ever compare to the original trilogy.

(Credit: Yahoo) Microsoft assumes you probably haven't used an Internet Explorer browser since the mid-1990s, and the company's latest commercial for IE10 takes us all back to those awkward times with a montage of '90s nostalgia that includes slap bracelets, Oregon Trail, LA Gear Lights, and Tamogotchis. We're not sure how any of those items are supposed to lure us away from Firefox or Chrome, but check it out anyway. We knew it was only a matter of time before a 6-second clip of hardcore porn made its way to the Twitter Vine, but we never expected it to come from Twitter itself--a nasty clip was featured for a short time on Vine's "Editor's Choice" pick list. Granted, it's not the first instance of adult content on the new social video service. With Vine's TOS giving users creative freedom to access its service, an unfiltered stream of dirty hashtags is already building out on VineRoulette. Then again, who the hell wants to watch porn for only six seconds? Other stories leaked from today's episode: - Will China end its 13-year ban on video game consoles? - Google accidentally indexes 8,000 publicly available printers. - Don't forget, it's illegal to unlock your phone now. - Wi-Fi on school buses credited for curbing bad behavior.

Say hello to TV Jill. (Credit: TVGuide) Listeners of The 404 Show have plenty of financial questions, so we look to our resident expert Jill Schlesinger from "CBS MoneyWatch" to make sense of it all. From ETFs to IRAs and everything in between, Jill and Jeff navigate the choppy waters of personal finance. They'll also talk about Apple in great detail, and whether the company's sinking stock price is a sign of things to come. Jill hits up The 404 Show every three weeks, so if you've got a question you want answered on the show, be sure to send a tweet or e-mail us! Ep. 1195: Where what the ETF?

(Credit: Geekytattoos.com) The flu has finally struck down our very own Justin Yu, but luckily the much more attractive Bridget Carey is available to fill his tiny men's size 6 shoes. Bridget and Jeff get uber-nerdy today, discussing all things Nintendo nostalgia including what games they used to rent repeatedly and the current state of gaming as it exists in the Mushroom Kingdom. Finally, we'll noodle over the fact that older brains can't remember a lot of new stuff because they're too "full." All this and more on today's show!

(Credit: Tumblr) Welcome to today's show, where we're finally analyzing the food photography trend for what it is, with the help of this article in the New York Times that profiles restaurateur David Bouley and the creative tactics he's come up with to stop the dining room distractions. The way we see it, the problem with food photography is that we've collectively lost our shame and sense of subtlety when it comes time to dine. Instead of snapping a quick 3-second iPhone pic, we've seen folks stand on chairs, use tripods with a giant dSLR, and even ask the restaurant to adjust the ceiling lights to suit the mood of the picture. The fact is that there's really no better way to prove you're eating above your budget than to take a picture of it. Argue all you want, it's just a tacky move and plenty of restaurants agree. Check out today's show to hear some places are doing to avoid the awkwardness. We'll also talk about a story from Jim Romanesko's blog about an on-air news reporter in Rochester that took a stand and refused to let WHAM-TV's parent company take control of her personal Twitter accounts. The reporter, Rachel Barnhart, asserts that a reporter's relationship with her followers is part of her personal brand, and should be treated such. Just as Sinclair Broadcasting doesn't own her life outside of work, she should be given carte blanche over her social-media profiles too. Finally, we'll end with a story about Atari filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Atari is still paying off its $27 million debt to BlueBay Asset Management five years after Infogrames Entertainment bought the company in 2008, and the NY-based branch is eager to maintain their independence from their parent company. We'll finish off the show reminiscing about the faux wood-paneling on the original Atari 2600 and cap it off with a few listener voicemails.

(Credit: Wikipedia) Before we take on the Subway issue, we start today's show welcoming Ariel back from the dead. He spent the last week in bed, proving our theory once again that CES is bad for your health and should be treated accordingly. On to the news. Google's security team just released a new research paper where GP Eric Grosse unveiled his vision of our future in terms of Web security. Phishing attacks, malware, and poor password choices are making it hard to keep private data in the cloud, but Grosse proposed a new method called the Yubikey USB card that automatically logs you into your Google account when you plug it in. If you're thinking that sounds like a step back, check out what Google has to say. A couple months ago, I found an Android app on the Google Play store that raised an eyebrow. "Make Me Asian" is a derivative of image-altering apps like FatBooth, but this one puts a rice paddy hat on the subject and alters his or her eyes to fit the Asian stereotype. I'm kind of curious to know what it would do to Jeff's tiny sockets, but it's too late to try it, because Google took it down today after online activist group 18 Million Rising called on Twitter celebrities and #makemeracist to raise awareness. Moving on, let's get to the real news today. Earlier this week, an Australian man named Matt Corby got upset with Subway (the restaurant) after his footlong sandwich only measured 11 inches. Corby took aim and posted a photo to Subway's Facebook page, leading others to do the same in solidarity. Subway's official response? "SUBWAY FOOTLONG" is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub sold in Subway Restaurants and not intended to be a measurement of length..." Regardless of how lame that comment is, the bigger question is why did Subway take the Italian BMT off the $5 footlong list back in 2009? With its triple-threat meat deal, the BMT (Biggest, Meatiest, Tastiest) was clearly the best value at the restaurant, and The 404 would appreciate your support in following our official Twitter handle @BringbacktheBMT to petition its return.

It's my birthday today and Jeff is still making me write the blog for today's episode, but I'm fine with that because today is an exceptional show. Not just because Richard "Gems" Peterson lived up to his nickname on two occasions, but also because the stories are exceptionally strange. First we'll look at how cheaters in Japan are getting away with their infidelity with the help of an older Fujitsu phone, simply because of a layer of stealth security that gives users privacy that would make the Ethan Hunts and James Bonds of the world jealous. Not that we're suggesting you take tomorrow off and cheat on your spouse, but at least the misstep that leads to you getting caught will be your fault, not technology's. Next up, Jeff and Richard will get a thrill out of making the birthday boy feel like garbage with a story about a nine year old boy in India that's become the youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in the world. By diligently studying for eight hours a day for 18 months straight, the boy cashed in his childhood for a lifetime of work and at least a few more years of swirlies. We feel your pain, young Pranav. Yelp just announced they're going to offer health inspection letter codes and details to restaurants in San Francisco, along with a new hygiene standard for New York coming soon. Unfortunately, the story is a little stale without Robert Irvine from "Restaurant Impossible" calling the shots, but seriously -- the problem is that the inspections won't update automatically in conjunction with the Department of Health site, so there will be a small window when the ratings will misrepresent the establishments. Not that Yelp isn't comfortable with that already. If we can't be at AVN this year, we'll at least explore the latest technosexual gadgets coming out of it. The Tenga egg, the Fleshlight, and the Magic Wand (don't pretend like you don't know what those are) are old news--the latest toy from JimmyJane (not the breakfast sausage company, weirdo) is called the Hello Touch, and it's surprisingly affordable for the luxury brand. It's a silicone fingertip vibrator pod with dual motors on your middle and pointer fingers that you or your partner can control using a dock. It looks suspiciously inspired by the wireless glove mouse in Minority Report, and we have trouble imagining how to put it on without killing the mood, but we're certainly willing to give it a try.
