19AprApril 15, 2013

The crazy part is we all wonder how it’s possible instead of flatly rejecting the statement as false.

15AprApril 15, 2013

Disruptions are everywhere this week! Solar panels are disrupting the energy market, Google is disrupting the ISP market, Microsoft is disrupting the PC market, Bitcoin is disrupting the currency market, and Facebook is disrupting the mobile phone market. It’s a world gone crazy!

76: SimPodcast

11Mar

In case you missed it, SimCity came out this week. The game is amazing on multiple levels. First, this is the BEST simulation ever by EA. Second, it’s the WORST launch ever by EA. Grab your copy on Origin, wait 20 minutes to play, and then start building!

We also mentioned Samsung’s new Galaxy S IV eye tracking software, Roku’s remote headphones, SimCity, more SimCity, Facebook’s new news feed, Samsung piling onto the Windows 8 blame game, the lean startup app class, and the Onion’s satirical article about a social media startup that shuts down in 45 minutes.

75: Computers, Computers Everywhere

04Mar

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.

73: Avenging the Death of xBox

18FebFebruary 18, 2013

When a meteor strikes earth, the only thought in your mind should be one question: When will the Avengers assemble? That’s what we asked ourselves while talking about tech this week. Perhaps the other 2 questions you’re asking are 1) When is Elon Musk going to reveal his personal arc reactor? and 2) Will Microsoft ever figure out how to innovate again with their xBox?

Then there might be other news: Sony might stream games to their next gen PlayStation, HP might make an Android tablet, Google might open retail stores, Samsung might start selling Tizen smartphones soon, and Nest might make another smart home-based product.
