Podcast time! I've been out in San Diego this week for CTIA I.T. & Wireless 2009, and while the show has been fairly quiet we've still had a pretty good week in the BlackBerry World. The release of BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 was enough to keep all of us addicts happy (plus we know the Storm 2 and Bold 9700 announcements and releases are just around the corner) and we even had a little fun (which is still undergoing) with our BBM 5.0 Stress Test.
That said, there was still plenty to talk about in this special edition podcast. Our pal Mickey Papillon from the Cell Phone Junkie hosted the show (he's a Pro), and Dieter and I joined him to go over the highights of the event. Regular CrackBerry Podcast listeners and all smartphone junkies will want to listen to this one. Enjoy the show! Oh yeah, and if the BB alert noise in the first few minutes bugs you, stick with it... we slience it after we "discuss" it.
Show Details:
- Recorded: Thursday, October 8th, 2009 @ 5:30pm PST
- Show Length: Just over an hour
- File Size: 37ishMB

Google will pay you a measly $1.50 a week to track EVERYTHING on your phone
Google already tracks a lot of your data, whether you want them to or not. But for a mere pittance they'll track even more of it! Why? All so they can better sell ads to put in front of your face. Cooooooool.

ChatGPT's totally predictable disruption of education
The moment ChatGPT was unveiled the outcome for education was obvious: students were absolutely going to use it. But does it count as cheating?

Big Oil is coming for EVs (in a good way?)
Some of the biggest oil companies in the world have acknowledged that the future of surface transportation will largely be electric, and they don't want to miss out on that rapidly expanding pie.
