Show 115 – Burgers and Apps

The Round Table Intros…

Bob started off the show with a big burp and is thinking of creating a new Wix website all about burps… it will be awesome!

Everybody tells us their favourite app in the Round Table…

Ken has an interesting app pick this week… Nova Launcher. Changes the GUI…

Andrew has the Square App which just launched in Canada. He has a little card swiper that plugs into the headset jack of your smartphone and your good to go. Just charge it!

Bob's app pick is Auto Wifi On/Off. Great for saving battery life. Ken suggests Power Toggles.

Paul doesn’t use apps but his pick is texting.

Randall likes Vegas Pool.

Margaret uses the Llama app which allows you to geofence your alerts and customizes when your phone will use audible alerts and when it will be silent.

She also likes the receipt scanner app that keeps track of all her receipts.

Astrid's favourite app is a Chinese learning game which teaches you the characters and symbols. Makes language learning fun.

Andrew suggests Michel Thomas for learning languages

Al’s app is a power management tool (Data Enabler) which allows a one-touch data on-off switch and he also loves Swype. The Guinness record for text speed was broken with Swype.

Craig's daughter comes on the show for a couple minutes.

Craig loves the Evernote app and PocketCasts.

Bob has a good tip on how to highlight some text and add it to Buffer.

Craig likes Flipboard as well… is it a chrome extension as well? Nope.

Onto the show notes…

Bob is ticked off… He wants the Nexus 4 but it sold out right away as did the Nexus 10. Nexus 7 is available finally. Bob is stoked to get the new phone…. but alas patience is a virtue.

3D Printer Vending machine turns students ideas into reality… looks cool. Bob says the only thing it can’t make is another 3D printing machine. Bob talks about the 3D printed bike.

Bob talks about this play dough like substance that can be sculpted into anything and it hardens int...
