The 404 1,099: Where we dump the tape delay (podcast)

Complaining about NBC's coverage of the London Olympics is a sport we can all engage in, but the programming tape delay isn't the network's fault -- it's the Internet's. Today we'll discuss the games' corporate sponsorship and its effects on social media coverage, the FBI gathering a database of tattoos, and our collective ability to predict illness on Twitter.
