The Platformer Podcast! – episode 27
by Warren Frey
Jerry Yang is out at Yahoo, RIM is trying to sell itself, Sarah Lacy gets $2.5 million (!) to make a promotional…uh, I mean, informative new blog about startups, Rupert Murdoch is old and insane, and Google can’t stop screwing around with your search. Throw in cloud gaming with Onlive, pro video people moving away from Apple, and the Pirate Bay starting up a new promotional program for indies, and you’ve got yourself a podcast!
