(CNN) -- In this week's Tech Check podcast, Doug Gross, John Sutter and Stephanie Goldberg discussCEO Carol Bartz's frank, and foul-mouthed, response to her firing from Yahoo.
We also touch on the fact that Bartz, who says she warned the board revenue wouldn't be rising quickly, was one of the few female bosses in the technology world.
The crew talks about advances in robotics and other technology that were spurred by the September 11, 2001 attacks and how hardship often prompts innovation. (We also point out a website that's pulled together a week of TV reports on the 9/11 attacks).For our Reader Comments of the Week, Stephanie shares responses to a gadget hacker who has modified a TV remote control to automatically mute the sound when an annoying celebrity of your choice is mentioned. (Snooki? Trump? Kardashian? You decide!).
And our Tech Fail of the Week, for the second week in a row, is handed to an Apple employee for apparently leaking information about the upcoming iPhone. And it involves sushi.
