28th of January Egypt shut off the Internet including texting.
However it did not cut it off 100% because of model dial-up and satellite phones. We do a quick interview with one of our guests who had relatives there when it all went down.

We talk about China and suppression and then get into the Metered Internet debate in Canada. You can send a letter for free if it is going to parliament. We talk about how essay it is to burn lots of bandwidth.

Canada is mentioned in TWIT because of the Metered Internet Fight up here. The hosts said that they would blow through 25GB in a week. The interesting point was what about the speeds that we get. Do we actually get the bandwidth that we are paying for.

Thanks to Homer Simpson for opening the beers and his witty comments.

IPV4 and IPV6. Basically all websites have a number (ivp4) but just ran out. No one is ready for IPV6 because of servers and some other technical hitches. What does this mean? It will probably only effect people with older computers and systems.

We have a call from Tristan when he is on a break at a symposium on sails. He talks about how smart phone are outpacing computers in sales. He tells us about an awesome new drink, “Tomato Soap and Grilled Cheese“. Yep they are using a real Grilled Cheese Sandwich! If you are looking for the Jamaican Ginger beer and Fentimans Ginger beer, you can found it in Vancouver, try Thrifty’s Foods says Tristan.

Pray the new open sourse security tool.
Lock down your device and track a stolen phone or computer.

Windows Phone sales are not doing that great. Is Nokia going to partner with them? If Nokia goes for Android, Windows Phone 7 is dead in the water. Nokia has had a bunch of time to develop Android apps because all the other developers have been shut out till now. (1 day after the show was recorded Nokia signed a Microsoft phone 7 deal).

Blackberry launches the Fun Pad. BlackBerry Playbook vs. Apple iPad

Bob wants to go 100% Android…
then opens a Guinness beer, that was beer number 5.

Tune in next week for even more crazy facts.
