Happy 8th Birthday, TWiT!

Today marks eight years since TWiT’s first netcast. Can you believe it?

 
What began as a one-off roundtable discussion between friends has grown into anetwork of 25 shows, producing over 30 hours of audio and video content each week. The technology has certainly evolved, and TWiT has too: Looking back at our years in the TWiT Cottage compared to the last two in the Brickhouse, it’s really amazing how far we’ve come!
 
Of course, we never would have made it this far without your support. Thank you for listening and watching all these years. We’re excited about the future, and hope you’ll continue with us on this journey.
 
Stay tuned! to TWiT!!!!

Apple's 1984 spoof of 'Ghostbusters' goes after IBMThis is a 4-minute, uncut version of "Blue Busters"

This is a 4-minute, uncut version of "Blue Busters", a 1984 takeoff on 'Ghostbusters' that Apple produced to show at the opening of its worldwide sales staff meeting in Hawaii in October 1984. The video includes a cameo appearance by Steve Wozniak. Our thanks to Craig Elliott, former Apple employee now CEO and co-founder of cloud-computing startup Pertino Networks, for giving us access to this video.
Also shown at that meeting was another film in which Steve Jobs impersonates FDR. That film can be seen here:
