[edit] Format
Since episode 27 the format of the show has switched from a general technology show to a fully user question based show. Each episode starts with a brief rundown of elements of the episode followed by sponsors. After a short title sequence the hosts introduce themselves and talk about events that happened to them and events that are coming up before moving onto questions. It has become a common trait of the show to have special guests to answer specialist questions the hosts may not be able to provide answers for. Between episodes 15 and 27 there was a guest co-host for each show. Starting with episode 28 Veronica Belmont will take over duties from guests as confirmed in episode 27. From episode 29 the set was altered with a new table previously used for PopSiren which gives both Patrick and Veronica equal working space.

For 12 weeks during 2008 guest presenters took over from Jessica after she moved on from the show.
