The Mac Geek Gab's Dave Hamilton joins Ricky and Jeff to machine some context around the Cisco/Apple screaming match and the porn industry's race away from Blu-Ray. Then, Ricky and Jeff take a closer look at how Macworld went, including some cool products, winners and losers of the week, and an analysis of how Macworld is growing and changing.

Subject: Apple versus Cisco...or is it Pancho?

I will be very interested to see how this ridiculous situation plays out: if indeed Cisco has lost their rights to the name, this will get real entertaining, real fast.

I particularly like this morning's bit of 'news' - that Cisco is trying to crowbar their way into the catbird seat vis-a-vis the IT(M)S, in exchange for access to a right they've (arguably) already let slip away.

Adding to the merriment: the biggest down-side for Apple here is a name-change for the unit; Cisco OTOH is poised to capture the flag for 2007 in the category of "embarrassingly bone-headed moves in full view of the public". Sad news, no doubt, for the previous place-holder, The Santa Cruz Organization.
