David Chehebar and J.C. Martinez-Sifre broadcast from somewhere in between New York City's streets and South Florida. While they discuss the interweaving of all of Google products in lieu of the newly implemented Google Buzz, they explore that space from which their broadcast might just be taking place: the Virtuo-Reality zone.
