Episode 26: 26: White Smoke

John Siracusa and Dan Benjamin continue to wait for the release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. In the meantime, topics include Facebook's use of MySQL, some of the technology behind Google+, the 5by5 ShowBot, possibly new Mac hardware (featuring the fabled xMac), and whether or not Dan and John are cool.
