Great news for our live listeners--the stream is back! Please bear with the short delay that allows the stream to buffer.
We'll keep working on it, and in the meantime we put together a great show for you today with fun stories about a dummy politician citing an article from The Onion, the pitfalls of online dating, prototype headphones with built-in proximity sensors, and a conceptual McDonald's ad campaign that uses seedbombs!

Twitter reports that football fans sent roughly 10,000 tweets in the final 3 minutes of last night's game, but that wasn't enough to overthrow the all-time record for tweets per second.
Guess which film roped in 25,088 tweets per second last December? Hint: it wasn't made in America.

The 404 986: Where it's hard to stop midstream (podcast)
Author: CNET.com
Fri, Feb 03, 2012
There are no chat room viewers to keep us on topic now that we've stopped live streaming.
So fair warning: we spend most of the first half explaining the concept of Goodwill stores to Jeff, whose ignorance I still suspect is a veiled attempt at live trolling. …

Due to technical difficulties beyond our control, we're cutting the live stream to free up bandwidth. Our tenderest apologies to the daily live listeners, but be sure to follow @the404 on Twitter for an extremely truncated, livebloggish version of the episode.
If you're now wondering what to do from 12-1 p.m. every day, we recommend rewatching old episodes and pretending they're live. On today's show: sunbathing groundhogs, instant Facebook millionaire David Choe, a CBS pilot show about Groupon, and "Reading Rainbow" host LeVar Burton strikes back.

Wed, Feb 01, 2012
Aunt Jill Schlesinger, editor-at-large for CBS MoneyWatch.com, is back on the show to tell us everything we should know but are too lazy to read about the impending Facebook IPO.
She'll break down the process of how a startup progresses from the idea stage to capital investment to public offering, and we'll speculate on how the filing will affect the site in terms of advertising, content, and sharing. …

The 404 983: Where we keep the change (podcast)

The saddest part of the rumor about celebrities getting paid thousands of dollars to send corporate-sponsored Tweets is that it's true.
It started with Internship.com paying Charlie Sheen $50,000 to solicit "Tiger Blood" interns, and today we're exploring the number of ways celebrities make money on the side.
We'll also talk about presidential campaigns embracing modern technology, starting with Romney's crew using Square hardware to grab donations and votes.
We'll also pick at the reasons why Obama and Google strategically ignored the most-voted question from yesterday's YouTube campaign q&a. Plenty of time to talk about late-night snacks, but what about the 4,500 users who have legitimate health concerns? …
