Customer Reviews
Great
Funny and informative. I just wish they did it twice a week!!
More Gordon please!
This is a great podcast about current tech events. They typically focus on 3 or 4 big events from the week, but sometimes wonder into less "newsy" topics, and that is when they are at their best. Gordon is the star of the show and the man deserves the spotlight. Look forward to this each week.
Great podcast!
I just wanted to take a moment to note that the Full Nerd is both consistently educational and entertaining. As someone who is interested in computers but who had not been deeply engaged on the topic for sometime, their discussion has vastly increase my knowledge. Moreover (For Gordon and anyone from the publishing side), their evident knowledge on the subject has led me to use pcworld.com as my first stop for information on considering my own PC purchases and upgrades. Thanks so much!
