hey everyone I'm Hollywood and welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about everyone is talking about only one thing this week so let's get right to it Steve Jobs resigned from his CEO position at Apple on Wednesday in his letter of resignation to the board he said he can no longer meet his duties and expectations as CEO of Apple CEO Tim Cook will take his place and job said he plans to stay on as Apple's chairman of the board jobs also said that Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it obviously though it's just about impossible to imagine Apple without steve jobs in the news hit the tech community pretty hard obviously some folks on the internet are already predicting doom and gloom for Apple because that's kind of what the internet is for and also cat videos but Steve Jobs will still be around and you know he's got like a hundred year plan for Apple that he gave Tim Cook in a sealed white lucite cube and it's going to be okay also we did spot this one really funny tweet Steve Jobs's text was meant to say I reign as CEO of Apple damn you autocorrect good one all right let's do a show and let's start with the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the HP TouchPad Yeah right the must-have device of the season thanks to HP brutally killing it off after giving it a generous 48 days on the market to destroy the iPad tell me that wasn't playing the second leo apotheker walked in the door anyway in an effort to get rid of all those stinky touch pads HP started selling them for as low as 99 bucks and people went crazy limes outside of Best Buy's multi-page slickdeals threads detailing where and how to get one sell out reports gloating hoarding now they're going for more than three hundred dollars on ebay and you know what even with a brand new install base a cult following and all this great attention I think HP is still so stupid that they're not going to do anything worthwhile with the webos platform but hey that new enterprise software plan sounds fun too moving on yay for new privacy changes at Facebook the company rolled out some big new changes this week including the ability to filter who sees whatever you post when you post it kind of like circles in Google+ Facebook swears they had these changes in the works for a long time before Google+ came out though whatever you can also change who sees a post even after you post it which is good for that internet regret in other changes you get more control over whether you're tagged in any photos although more people can now tag you facebook is also getting rid of places but you can put location into any post oh and you can block someone like an X and then they can never tagged you and all your tagged interactions disappear forever nice you've just been erased I like it also um that reminds me Facebook actually can we go powder our noses real quick and now it's time for Girl Talk in the powder room okay can I give you an idea that you should take from google plus you can call it my idea if it'll make you feel better but I really want the mute this post thing that they have like how you don't get any more notifications when someone comments on a specific thread and I know you know what threads i'm talking about when somebody has a baby and they put it on facebook and i want to say congratulations but then i don't want to get a pop up every time the other 300 people say congratulations I don't even know them you don't talking about anyways thank you in advance I would love that okay moving on in the news today reports say the iphone 5 could be coming to both t-mobile and Sprint now some people already have unlocked iphones on t-mobile so it's mainly huge news for Sprint customers right yay the little network that could an iPhone on it and the happy no shut it down pray this rumor is not true sprint ease the iphone is like the ultimate Trojan horse it's like a blanket covered in small pox when the iphone comes to town unlimited plans now on to one of my favorite stories of the week the latest update in the great Apple Samsung pissing match of 2011 Apple has had some victories lately the EU ban on selling galaxy tabs which was actually overturned except in Germany now though there's a new ban on selling the galaxy phones in the Netherlands but Samsung is not going down without a fight an awesome hilarious movie loving fight they have cited Stanley Kubrick's 2001 a Space Odyssey as prior art in Apple's design patent case because of this scene how despite your enormous in select are you ever frustrated by your dependence on people to carry out actions not in the slightest bit I enjoy working with people um right how is that not a very very large iPad or galaxy tab or whatever Kubrick pones actually I want to see the Kubrick estate jump on in here kate matte alright finally let's have a look at what's clogging the tubes the site fiverr com has been all over the place lately people put up jobs that they'll do for five bucks like write a message on a piece of lettuce that a bunny eats or recommend your LinkedIn page or write a song for you but the biggest hit from Fiverr is dancing drawer see for yourself he went viral after he put up one of his dances on regretsy and he got like 300 orders and don't even think about trying to get him for your birthday present because he's not even taking any new orders and now tell me you do not love the internet and that's the buzz report for this week everyone I'm mollywood and thank you for watching you
