This week on Girls Out Loud, Maya and Cristina scratch their heads over the relative NON-news of the weeks biggest announcements from Facebook (Messaging) and Apple (the Beatles…seriously.) Also, both ladies are not surprised that cable subscribers are increasingly “cutting the cord,” the new iPhone app Path seems kind of lame, and that the arrival of Twitter analytics seems like it will put a lot of third party apps out of business. Also, we have a special treat! Cristina explains why the Pulse app went free, after all their press this past Monday for doing so.

This week on Girls Out Loud, Maya and Cristina marvel over several things in both positive and negative ways; we marvel positively that Google is offering personal servants as a perk to its employees, about some awesome apps in GoogleTV, and what big news Facebook Places Deals are, if they are real. Some very un-positive marveling comes at the mention of the horrifying story of the Zynga obsessed young mom who killed her baby for interrupting Farmville, and Digg’s ironic use of its own platform to fake-Digg news items.

In Episode 15, Maya and Cristina discuss the earnings calls of the largest public tech companies including Google, Yahoo and most interestingly, Apple. While Steve Jobs contributed to the never-ending Google-Apple pissing match, the Apple stock suffered by consequence. The girls also discuss their never-ending Facebook obsession with the latest privacy breach and our endless Twitter shouts that seem to go ignored. In addition, we discuss the legal market and one student’s quest to get a refund for a degree that is not about to pay dividends.

In Episode 14, Maya and Cristina get caught up in the wonders of the amazing technological advances being made daily by the smartest folks on earth, including Google and the development and reveal of self-driven cars (140,000 miles already driven, people!) and a world where everything was monitored by extremely sensitive sensors that would be aware of things…way before we could ever be. In addition, Cristina and Maya debate the implications of promiscuous Duke alumna Karen Owens faux-thesis, as well as discuss this weeks Facebook outlining of it’s Bing partnership.

Episode 12 brought us to an ending with a hefty rant. Before we went wild, we talked about the super angel collusion madness reported by Techcrunch’s Michael Arrington along with Dave McClure and Fred Wilson’s responses. We then returned to a topic favorite, Facebook, to discuss the impending Facebook Phone and Zuckerberg’s $100M donation to New Jersey public schools. After discussing the Cuil failure, we finish off with a tirade on a University of Chicago Law School professor whining about having to live on $450K/year. Take a listen!
