Pedantic Nerd Rage


Shortly after taping today's show with Al Gore, I got an email from a colleague. He introduced himself as "the new IT guy downstairs" but I'm going to call him "invaluable ears." Here's a mistake he pointed out:

During the opening of the show you described Mr. Gore’s movie as being a bunch of powerpoint slides.  As a former Apple employee I have to point out 2 things:

An Inconvenient Truth was made with Apple’s competitor to PowerPoint called Keynote.
This is only an issue because Al Gore is on Apple’s board of directors.

He apologized for "pedantic nerd rage," but if that's what it is, I'll take more anytime!
