Hosts: Leo Laporte, Andy Ihnatko, Alex Lindsay, Scott Bourne, and Justine Ezarik

• Leo likes being a host rather than a guest.
• Justine got a 300 page iPhone bill in a box in the mail
• Leo and his son text message each other in the movies because they can not call
• Everyone is possessed to use more internet and text messaging just to get huge bills so they can stick it to AT&T. (They promise to RECYCLE afterwards!)
• Disclamer: Scott owns trillions of shares of Apple
• Andy does not care for the new keyboard.
• 50% of users like iMovie '08, 50% of users love iMovie HD ('06). The Panel likes the new one better.
• iMovie can rip from (unlocked) DVDs!!!!
• Apple was "pimping" Panasonic's HDCSD1 HD Camcorder with iMovie '08
• Skimming is by far the best feature in iLife
• Leo is getting mixed up with the model numbers. Both cameras are 3CCD (Leo is wrong) but the HDC-SD5 is newer, and does 1080p, not 1080i. They all have HDMI out and that is pre-compression (raw), whereas the video on the SD card is compressed heavily.
• Lights Off, the first native iPhone game.
• Universal goes DRM free, but not with iTunes
• Semi-Rathole: Andy expresses his live for Pages in iWork '08
