In a crazy week of technology news and gadgets galore, the Moxie Mo Show keeps you updated on what you need to know.
As of today, CBS’s TV.com application is now available for a free download on the iPhone (you must download via iTunes). Once you’ve downloaded TV.Com app, you can see clips of all your favorite CBS programming (including Showtime, CW, and a few other CBS-owned content), The Moxie Mo shows you what the CBS TV.com iPhone app looks like and when to expect full episodes to arrive on your iPhone.
Also, if you own a brand new Amazon Kindle 2, you’ll definitely want to stay abreast of the controversy between Amazon and the Author’s Guild. The Author’s Guild says Kindle’s text-to-speech functionality is not legal and also hurts audio books in a big way so they are threatening a lawsuit to Amazon. Well, amazingly, Amazon went ahead and compromised to the Author’s Guild and the Moxie Mo discusses what this means for you and your Kindle 2. Could your Kindle 2 lose the text-to-speech functionality? What are your thoughts?
Finally, poor Boxee. We’ve been covering Boxee for months now and we showed you how Hulu dropped them two weeks ago and now it seems Apple’s latest upgrade to their Apple TV has broken Boxee. Will Boxee ever spring back to where it used to be? We shall find out.
To end on a high note, the Moxie Mo is giving away some MOXIE GADGETS/GIFTS very soon – how do you get one? Well, watch the show and answer the question in the comments below. You can also email me at jeff@jeffmccord.org

Hey Jeff,
My way of watching tv is just through my DVR at home. I am definitely going to get the CBS iPhone app and give that a go.
Also, great news. We got our first advertiser on TalkBowling.com.
Thanks again for being an inspiration.
I was so disappointed with Cali’s shwag
I went as soon as I saw it in iTunes, but she didn’t have it on geekbrief.tv yet, so I didn’t get a change to comment then. And of course, daily life kicked in after that and I forgot. Congrats on winning.
