Episode 49 finds us poolside at a near-by Disneyland hotel. Things get crazy pretty quick as kids start showing up and splashing in the pool. Still we manage to talk about a couple tech stories: Space elevators are a ways off, Flipboard turns 2, Simple and Mint.com start treading on each other’s territory, Wolfram Alpha analyzes your Facebook activity, there’s a new Foursquare checkin game called Landlord, CA approves self-driving cars, Facebook admits that some likes are fake, and Microsoft updates their TOS to be more of a QA.
We then dive into specific aspects about Disneyland: the technology involved in running a half-marathon, the future of Tomorrow Land, and fireworks.
