Wil Harris, the TWiT regular and Channel Flip chief, had a few words with Leo Laporte recently.
Here's the video of Wil and the Tony Hawk video camera he demoed on his skateboard on ChannelFlip.com. On TWiT 123, Will spoke about how he injured himself as he hadn't been on a board in a few years.
Tonight was the largest TWiT panel in (recent) history, with no less than seven participants chiming in. A couple of TWiT panels recorded live on location have been larger, but this one was recorded, as usual, via Skype. The cast included Leo Laporte, John C. Dvorak, Patrick Norton, Wil Harris, Cali Lewis, Don Reisinger and Robert Scoble. Listen in at http://twit.tv/123 on Monday.
Channel Flip, run by TWiT regular contributor Wil Harris, has launched in the UK today. Check out the first episode of "Unwired," titled "Nike+iPod Sports Kit."
You can also watch two other new shows, "Play: Digital" and "Discuss."
Wil Harris, who is frequently on This Week in Tech, wrote a piece last week on TheInquirer.net where he touched on the fortunes of Ziff Davis, PC Magazine, DL.TV, Revision 3, ValleyWag and TWiT.tv, and the costs required to keep each of these enterprises going. See: "Tech rags forced to face unpalatable facts."
"The lesson is not that old media is dead," Wil wrote. "It's not that new media is better. It's not that the content giants don't know what they're doing. It's not even that old companies suck to work for, hence the recent spate of defections. It's simply that new content startups understand the value of being lean and mean and constraint-free, whereas old media houses are too stuck in the mindset of big, fancy and infrastructure-bound."
Wil Harris, a frequent TWiT co-host from the UK, got two pieces of hardware this week during his trip to New York. One came from the Apple Store, the other from Tiffany's.
He only attached a long term agreement to one of them.
Sorry ladies, he's off the market. Congratulations, Wil!
If you think the TWiT are only good as tech resources, think again:
Linuxchic said that if she were arrested and couldn't call a lawyer, she'd call Leo to bail her out.
And Russ wants to pick up a cool British accent like Wil Harris.
This week's hosts are Leo Laporte, Wil Harris, John C. Dvorak, as well as CNET editor
Topics discussed were last week's Steve Jobs anti-DRM statement, Quantum computing, teraflop chips, and iPod bans...
