TECHGEEK Weekly is your weekly dose of tech news, opinion and commentary mixed in with humour and tangents. Host Stewart Wilson is joined by editors Terence Huynh, Chris Southcott and Tom Solari to discuss the week that was in technology. Released every Sunday.
Do you need help with gadgets? Well TECHGEEK.com.au is to the rescue! We’ll discuss cameras to gaming accessories to tablets, all live, on a live podcast, with your chance to have your questions answered via SMS, Twitter, Formspring, email or on the line.
So it appears that Apple have introduced one type on insect into the iTune Store, MySpace gets in bed with facebook and is Microsoft Breaking Up?
We also find out that the russians are making their own distribution of Linux and we find 100 naked pictures of people.
John Brumby goes Oprah and starts giving doctors iPads, Facebook tries to kill Gmail with their own email project and your phone will be able to determine if you have a STD instantly. What a freaky little world.
It feels like the longest episode so far, but it’s apparently not. Yes, the whole team is back… before they left again. However, not before we go through all the week’s Apple stories that managed to take up 15 minutes of the episode. Yes. You heard that. You might as well skip the 15 minutes.
It’s Halloween and we see the deaths of Limewire and the Walkman. The iPhone 4 White version is either dead or still kicking, and little hackers all over the place thanks to a little Firefox plugin. Yeah. It’s an absolute shambles episodes with only two hosts – with Terence and Stewart.
Yes, that’s right.. Terence is on holidays in Rome! So everyone at TECHGEEK.com.au is partying like crazy. We talk about the new Windows Phone 7, The Android ‘dude’ problem, #newtwitter, the iPhone app that allows you to spy and much much more.
Yes, apparently Google is into shooting photos of dead people as photos of the dead appeared on Google Street View. Ouch. As well, Motorola gets sued by Microsoft, Facebook lets you download everything you ever uploaded or wrote on Facebook, and MySpace brings out a craptastic new logo.
In this week’s TECHGEEK Podcast, we discuss the Playbook, the over-growing number of Android tablets, and Google now has Street View in Antarctica. Yes, that place that is slowly melting away.
And no. It’s not Porn. It’s pwn.
For Facebook, the term “Have you tried turning it off and on again” has never been truer when they had a 2.5 hour outage sometime this week, and Twitter was crippled with links to Japanese porn after a vulnerability was found in the code.
As you may of heard, we had to delay the podcast because of our busy schedules, but doesn’t mean we have given it the axe. And yes, you will be hearing a lot of the word Bing. We’re not getting sponsored by them (hopefully we do), but yeah – hate it, blame it on Tom.
Yes. We have a government. And it’s Julia Gillard. James Wilson is still pretty pissed about that, but we are moving on with the show with a lot of Apple news, discussion on XP and dispel or add to the iPad 2.0 rumour.
Apple news galore again. Yes, we know it is tiring, but you will have to live with it, especially when the September Apple event was this week. We’re confused over the name Ping, discuss the hatred of the new logo of iTunes 10 and the new iPod nano design, and a sexy new OLED TV prototype.
Blame Stewart for another late episode. Why? Because we had to wait for his precious iPhone to be reverted to an old version and jailbroken, which took 3 hours and 45 minutes after our original start time. Also, we’re still apparently recovering from our Election Night spectacular – if you can call it spectacular.
Here is the recorded version of the TECHGEEK Podcast Live Election Edition. This podcast was broadcasted live during the hours of 7.30PM to 8.30PM via Ustream to the world. This podcast has a mix of election news, results, tech news and rantings. With us today is Terence, Stewart, James and Tom.
So it seems that the Australian Election is on tomorrow and TECHGEEK is having a very special podcast for it.
We have decided it will be a live podcast where listeners will be able to interact with the presenters via SMS, Phone and Twitter. The podcast will feature the latest in the election news and also feature tech news throughout of week. However, we will be recording another podcast on Sunday with a full wrap of Election News.
