    We covered the news a little bit this time. I talked about the Lost iPhone 4th Gen (not 4G) and the whole Apple vs. Gizmoto vs. the police. (what a mess)

    I talked about HP buying Palm and the fact I’ve been a Palm user back in the day.

    What about Facebook? AOL of the 2010′s ? Discuss – :)

    Subjects covered on Today’s podcast:

    Is broadcasting on AM/FM dying? Or Dead?
    -I talked about some of our local stations and about Clearchannel and other BIG radio groups.

    I phone 4G left in a bar? Sounds fishy to me!

    I replaced my droid. With another droid. No problem, took 10 minutes and everything was on the new phone as soon as I logged in. Cool (in a scary way!).

    Talked about the move of Today in Aviation History to a weekly show over at Flightradio.com

    Thanks again for listening and I will try to get back on Schedule with a Thursday morning show.

    -Mike

    I have decided to change the name of Today in Aviation History to “Aviation History this week” and move it over to my other website, www.flightradio.com. In the next couple of weeks there will be a special page over there for Aviation History This Week and all the new podcasts will come out there. If you are subscribed to the feed in RSS, iTunes or zune, you shouldn’t have to re-subscribe. If you listen on the website, the new website will be over at FlightRadio.com. Stay tuned here and over at the new site for the first weekly installment of Aviation History this week with Mike Dell.

    Thanks for your support!

    Thank you for taking time to download and listen to Geek of the North!

    Tech podcast network is on Boxee! Blubrry is on Roku! Check them out.

    I have android 2.1 on my droid now and most (if not all) Motorola Droid users should have the upgrade. HTML 5 is NOT on the droid yet for some reason. Not sure why, but it doesn’t yet. The iphones and ipads using the same browser (webkit) do HTML 5. Oh well, I’m sure they will get it sooner or later.

    Airlines charge for EVERYTHING!

    Check out www.airlinenightmare.com for some very cool inside info about what the airlines and air traffic control are doing. I play some audio samples of Air Traffic Control loosing it on pilots and another example of a pilot that shouldn’t have been given a license to fly.

    FAA to let pilots fly on prozac.

    Thanks for listening, Catch me later!
