75: Computers, Computers Everywhere
Computers are showing up all over the place. I’m not just talking about tablets and phones, but also unexpected places like HDMI cables. This is the future: computers everywhere. The only real question is going to be how much it costs us.
This week Andrew Mason gets fired from Group, Corning confirms iWatch, HP releases Sate 7, Firefox announces their phone OS, Matthew searches for 3D glasses, Netflix watches you, SpiderSense helps you feel what’s coming, iPhones HDMI is a computer.
We then round up the show with a bunch of really short headlines.
