Praise for Flipping Tables

If you're looking for nerds opining about technology, throw a dart at iTunes. With Flipping Tables, David and Michael provide an often missing ingredient: perspective. Even when they're full of shit, they're still smarter than you.

These guys are great - the perfect combo of tech, humor, and pop culture.
