This is hypercritical, a weekly talk show ruminating on exactly what is wrong in the world of Apple and related technologies and businesses.

Nothing is so perfect that it cannot be imploded by my co-host John Syracuse.

I'm Dan Benjamin. Today is January 20, 2012.

This is episode number 51, just like Area 51.

We've got two sponsors we want to thank now and later, while the program is going,

Vidmeup.com, really cool new video publishing platform and Stripe.com full stack payments.

Tell you more about them again as we continue.

How are you John Syracuse?

I'm doing just fine, Dan Benjamin.

And you're still in recovery from our epic

Goodfellas 5 by 5 at the movie show that we recorded on Monday of this week.

That didn't take too much out of me. It's not like the Empire Strikes Back episode where it ended at 3 a.m.

So...

But we didn't start. I mean, there was no way it could have ended at 3 m.

We started at noon. It could have. Really?

We wanted to go, if we wanted to go frame by frame. And there were we were talking to each other on

Twitter saying oh man we forgot to talk about this one scene we get to talk about

this other scene and you know it was it wound up being like a three hour

15 minute show and and somehow we still manage to miss a lot of stuff.

Yeah, and then people would tell us about things that we didn't know at least I didn't even know about as I imagine if we had more knowledge than we would have gone on even longer.

Yeah, there's still still so much that we didn't cover.

I don't think we'll do a follow-up, I don't think, I mean, I'm not saying we won't have follow-up.
