In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) opine about:

• Events: Craig and John will be attending Web 2.0 Expo New York, November 16 - 19
• An Historic Week: Happy 40th Birthday, Internets!
• Happy Birthday, Banner Ad! Craig worked on the campaign to create that first banner.
• Jeff Jarvis talks about Howard Stern 3.0: The Future of Entertainment
• Sirius XM Year-Over-Year Net Susbcribers haven’t increased in a year
• AT&T’s Network Problems Could be Self-Induced by Poor Architecture
• Chia-Lin has groped the Droid and is in love with this new gadget.
• Google has released Android 2.0 along with Droid, brings free Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation. A game changer, to be sure.
• Even with an exclusive on the Palm Pre, Sprint still lost subscribers last quarter
• We love Julius Genachowski, the new head of the FTC. The FTC wants to buy back TV spectrum to make it available for mobile devices.
• Broadband is now a universal right in Norway.
• Netflix Streaming is coming to the PS3 and Wii
• Roku released two new boxes: the Roku HD-XR and the Roku SD
• Netflix will offer a streaming-only service, but not in the US. WTF!? It probably has something to do with rights.
• Steve would drop cable altogether and go IPTV. What about Cable a la carte? Never happen.
