What you do on your company’s network is your business, right? If you are curious about the answer to this or you want to understand more about what you company knows about you, watch this week’s show. Mike and Jason are once again joined by the self-proclaimed “real IT guy”: Michael Lubrano and our security expert: Corey Moomey, Cisco Security CSE. This week we talk about end-user privacy (or lack thereof) on corporate networks. We also rant and this week we rap (well… we don’t actually rap) in celebration of The New Dork in our call-to-action.

The iPhone 4 is now available for pre-order (well sort-of if you’ve been following the AT&T ordering fiasco). In this week’s Buzzword Bingo, we explore the iPhone 4. What features are compelling? Is it worth the upgrade? What is the media saying about it? We’ll discuss this and more with a terrific cast of characters. Jeremy Laurenson (Cisco Technology Solutions Architect) and Andy Waschick (Owner – Gestalt, Inc.) join Jason and Mike. As always, we rant, we opine and we make fools of ourselves (all in good geek fun, of course). The call-to-action will definitely make you ROFL (everyone knows what that stands for by now, right?).

We’ve decided to shorten the show format. There are lots of great tech news podcasts out there. So we’ve dropped the Net-Net-News segment. We’re keeping the main topic, rants and call-to-action. In fact, this week’s call-to-action is sure to make you smile.

This week we take a break from our normal enterprise end-user conversations to discuss our home theaters. We’ve had a few inquiries from our listeners about this so we decided to dedicate a Think-Outside-the-Box Main Topic on it. To help us out, we welcome our security expert extraordinaire: Corey Moomey and, first time on the show: Jason Hudnall. Jason is the Vice President of Sales for Alexander Open Systems. Each of us explains our home theater design from speakers to home theater PCs and everything in between. As always, we bring you the Net-Net-News, Rants and Call-To-Action (be prepared to be rick-rolled this week).

Have your company’s travel restrictions got you down? Do you miss talking to real people and sitting down for a real lunch? Remote interaction can be effective with the right tools, but can it replace in-person meetings? On this week’s Buzzword Bingo we discuss the positives and negatives of remote communication. To help us, we’ve invited Erwin Emge to the show. Erwin is a Technical Marketing Engineer with Cisco. He’s been with Cisco 10 years and has experience in sales and on the corporate side of the company. Along with Jason and Mike, Erwin works remotely. Tune in this week to see how they do it and what techniques and technologies work best. Plus, as always, we cover recent Net-Net News, Rants and as a change of pace, a relaxing Call-To-Action.

The browser wars are back! George Lucas isn’t writing their fate this time. If so, Internet Explorer would be Firefox’s father. No, the heavyweights are weighing in on the latest generation of the web. The browser is the key to current cloud applications (and possibly desktop applications in the future). There is as much for the winner to gain this round as there was back in the 90′s when Microsoft and Netscape went head-to-head. In this week’s Buzzword Bingo, we survey the current browser landscape with returning guest, Corey Moomey (@camdogthetwelve) and a new guest, Andy Waschick (@Gestalt). Andy is the owner and founder of Gestalt, Inc. As always, we also cover recent stories in our Net-Net News segment, Rants and the Call-To-Action.
