Show notes for TMO To Go: Mac Geek Gab For May 1st, 2006

Direct Links: MP3 Version or AAC Enhanced Version (courtesy of Michael, aka Computernap!).

John and Dave got together this past weekend and checked out the i-Theatre, a visor for your Video iPod, DVD player, computer, and more. The conversations continue, discussing kinda-sorta viruses and music recognition services, and we start new discussions regarding swap file locations and document conversion. Plus, as an added bonus, Dave slips in a rant about rebooting. Don't miss it!

My Sequal? Is that how we're meant to pronounce it?

I've been saying S Q L. So does my brother who uses the thing. Then, we are in the UK and I doubt anyone told us we were saying it funny. If I start saying sequal, I'll get a funny look : )

That's how everyone I've ever talked to has pronounced it. And, back to my pre-MySQL days, we pronounced the language, SQL, as "sequel", as well. So yeah, I think that's pretty common place, at least states-side.

It's one of those things that can't have translated. I've not met anyone over here (UK) who says 'mysequel' (of course, I've not met that many people) I can imagine it being on documents sent over, but nobody told anyone how you were meant to pronounce it. Kinda funny.
