Get Ready. This is one episode in an epic OMG JK.

It's been a couple of weeks since our last show — and the week was packed with news. Google announced that it is in the process of acquisition of Motorola, which will have serious implications for the future of Android. Facebook made some changes to its product and privacy settings in place. And the sad news, Steve Jobs announced that he was stepping down as CEO of Apple.

Don't worry, this episode not long hours in about half an hour, and we consider it good.

Here are some of the stories in this week's episode:

Although this is at the end of summer and the beginning of a slow to a crawl tech news, there are actually quite a bit of talk about the OMG JK this week. In this episode, Jason and I focus on three key things: Amazon's Kindle reader web Messenger, Facebook and Google + games.

With Apple screwing Amazon? Facebook, screwing with SMS? With Facebook screwing Google? These are the main points of discussion. We are also a kind of VEER off into a debate about whether Google + all one big game in a more metaphorical sense.

And as a bonus, you can see our awkward transitions between stories.

This week's episode of OMG JK is a little disproportionate. There is simply not a ton of news this week outside a giant fight that broke out between Google and Microsoft on patents. Through this spirit, Jason and I get into an argument about the argument.

Is Google? Is it true Microsoft? They both look like huge asses?

We then proceed to talk a bit about the new functionality of Gmail Labs, which adds a third viewing Google in the Internet mail service. We mostly agree: it requires a lot of work.

Watch the above episode and find some relevant links to what we're talking about below. And Yes, I have a huge beard.
