This week it's party time as we celebrate the 200th episode of the CNET UK podcast, and the return of our fearless leader Ian Morris.
Ian is joined by Cravers past and present as we try to deal with the fact that the podcast is 29 in dog years.
Best news from the past 200 episodes
The iPhone was launched in January 2007 -- messing with the iTunes-enabled Motorola Rokr E1 -- but is it the best phone or the worst phone in the world?
The Google Android operating system was born in November 2007, the same week Rory leaked the iPad.
Facebook has spread like a bad rash over the last 200 episodes -- we were already fed up with it in May 2007, we wondered if it had a future in August 2009, and hailed it as the social network killer in April 2010.
Meanwhile, the Digital Economy Bill has had us sweating since November 2009.
The Trial
The venerable Rupert Goodwins, the wildly successful Chris Stevens and, er, Rory Reid are back in the Crave courtroom, and in the dock is what separates us from the apes. Yes, technology itself is on trial.
Feature
The giants of Apple go up against the titans of Microsoft, in a battle that will make both appear normal sized. Nate Lanxon stopped off in his private helicopter piloted by Elle MacPherson, to take on Ian Morris and Luke Westaway in the debate that will decide this darn thing once and for all.
What we've learned
In the greatest mass podcast gathering of all time, we pour one out for our lost homies and discuss what the podcast has taught us, what we've taught it, what you've taught yourselves, and what we've held taut, over the past 200 episodes. Cheers!

Listened to the podcast on the way into work this morning and would like to share that I thoroughly enjoyed this week's episode. Rich has one of the best podcast voices I have heard in along time (and I work in radio, so that's not an idle compliment) and has a good role of letting the other, shall we say, opinion-triggers fight it out, and then bringing it back to the actual point in a cool, relevant way. Luke makes me laugh: when introduced as "Nate's successor" his comment of "oh this is awkward" made me h00t, to the wariness of my fellow tube travellers. Nate sounded like he missed this kind of debate. I didn't use cnet when chris was around, but his response in the debate of technology "enabling idiocy" produced a small amount of mirth-dribble.
Keep it up. Apart from the overly self-indulgent bit at the end when the conversation meandered for 5 minutes, this is a proper, proper show.
