2:48 Kevin Rose returns: Digg's death & rebirth, Milk, transition to Google.
14:21 Google Self-Driving Cars: 300k miles without a non-human driver accident. The future, and technology outpacing legislation -- and how huge tech leaks will render many laws useless.

24:32 Diamond Club: talk from last week continued (about the book's success), the iTunes Top 100, etc.
29:24 Google & Takedown Requests: their new search terms (re: copyright notices) -- and the general ongoing issue of takedown requests. Talk about how right holders could dictate search results, says EFF. About the takedown request process being flawed. Example of LendInk.com, a site by a disabled vet that coordinates legal exchange of print books (but was effectively shut down after high volume of takedown requests).
38:09 Google Ventures Investment in DocuSign: 8.2m investment. Seemingly quiet story, but much talk about how disruptive this could be.

49:41 Sponsor: audible.com. Brushwood recommends "The Rational Optimist" -- which has me sold. Leo recommends "The End of Money". Chat about Dungeons and Dragons: Daniel Suarez about D&D making him a good storyteller, idea for a TWiT D&D show, etc.
56:38 Square & Starbucks: The future promise, or horror, of a cashless society.
1:01:45 Google Death Benefits: talk about the benefits for surviving spouses. Amazon doing something similar with offering college degrees to employees. Zappos and the downtown project. A lot of spirited "Company Town" talk... is it the future?
1:07:35 Google & Gmail results in search.
