Round Table Intros:

Name, Twitter Handle and Are you bummed out that facial recognition apps in Google Glass?

Bob starts off talking about Borderlands, a game that he downloaded this week and is addicted to it.

• Marcel says facial recognition will be coming and it will be crazy in a couple years.

• Paul says take what Google with a pinch of salt.

• Satomi isn’t sure about the Google Glass.

• Bob loves the idea of facial recognition because he remembers faces but not names and this would help with that.

• James said it could be used for good or evil…

• Andrew said when camera phones came out people were initially freaked out about it and then became part of everyday life.

• Margaret said you can just drag a picture into a Google images search and it will bring up other like pictures so it could be done with a face.

• Kurt wants to know where you go to become registered dyslexia.

• Jane Doe doesn’t care for facial recognition.

• Randall says that facial recognition will be great at networking events.

• Margaret wants to know if there will be an MLM alert.

• Andrew said the bigger the front end load the more money you can make…

• Bonnie said her Google Glasses will need an upgrade in order to get facial recognition.

• Bonnie said she doesn’t see the difference between Glass having it and Facebook having it.

• Margaret said Glass is super inflated…

• Quote of the night – “We may love Norm… but we are not the Norm!”

Gaming with James:

• E3 – We now see what the next 10 years of gaming consoles will look like.

• James likes the XBox One… he said if you do a 360 you get ONE.

• James is going against the grain and says that the XBox One is positioned better for the future.

• PS4 is less expensive, XBox has better in home entertainment options.

• James thinks there is too much hearsay and we won’t really know until the devices are released in six months.

• The used game issue is a huge thing in the gaming industry. People won’t be able to sell their used games anymore.

• Everything is going digital and you aren’t buying the book… your buying a license to have the book in a specific medium.

• Marcel said when a DVD sucks you can buy them for cheap in the discount bin at Walmart. Is it the same for games?

• James said you could sell your account with all your games in it.

• We go over an article comparing the XBOX One and the PS4.

• Andrew sneaks in “Social Media is Bullshit” into the show again….

• Bob says “Get a life… play some games!”

• Bottom line… get both XBox and PS4!

• Marcel said when is James getting a podcast?

The Moto X

The current director of  Product Development is the former head of technology for DARPA.

• A wearable tattoo that will unlock your phone if you have it on.
