In this latest episode of the Dan & David Show, David provides an update on the latest convolutions in the Sony root-kit DRM debacle and comments on Doc Searls' post, "Saving the Net: How to Keep the Carriers from Flushing the Net Down the Tubes." We also discuss Robert X. Cringely's scenario of GoogleMart, where Google could take on the role of trusted the third-party info-escrow agent for all world business transactions. In addition, we assess whether Sun's best days are ahead and check out mega-VC John Doerr's definition of Web 2.0. David rants about Gmail and confesses to his fascination with our sister site TV.com. I also provide a mini review of the Rolling Stones concert at SBC Park in San Francisco on Tuesday.
