Dual Booting

As Lee decides to skip out on this month’s recording session, Alan and Chess hold down the fort with a discussion on the Apple Worldwide Developer’s Conference and their predictions for the event (and since WWDC would have happened by the time you listen to this episode, they may be completely wrong). They also chat about Google’s self-driving cars, Apple buying Beats Electronics, and the legend of the lost “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” video game cartridges uncovered in the desert.

App picks:

Alan – Mailbox (website), and CatchAll (website)
Chess – Yummly (website)

Facebook buys Oculus Rift… and Minecrafters around the world are none too happy about it.  Microsoft Office for the iPad is here!  Is Alan the only one excited?  Chess brings to the table a moral software dilemma… and the panel play a collaborative game of SpaceTeam.  It’s audio podcasting at it’s finest!  All on this episode of “New Stuff”.

* Google Fiber is expanding to new cities... is Fiber still what it's cracked up to be?

* Comcast buys Time Warner Cable.  Can you guess all the ways this will make Chess mad?

* Facebook buys WhatsApp for $16 billion dollars.  Billions with a "B".  And Alan has never even heard of this app.

* Apple is building a new data center... and the guys pass along some helpful advice about not throwing objects into Apple's solar panel farm.

All this, and the app picks of the month on "New Stuff".

Google Buys Nest. Do the tin foil hats need to come back out? Russians were behind the Target attack? Where do we stand with social media services nowadays? Is Facebook still #1, or are other platforms starting to gain ground? Umoove Experience on iPhone... face and eye-tracking technology... does it work? And what app does Chess want to “un-recommended” based on a completely logical and practical reason?  All of this, plus new app/tech recommendations, on this episode of “New Stuff”.

Lee, Chess and Alan don their tin foil hats – literally! – to discuss several technology stories that have them a little paranoid these days. Is Amazon planning on world domination through their air drone delivery service? Target lost tons of debit and credit card information… so will the use of the new Coin all-in-one card help in the future? And what exactly is a “BitCoin”, and how can the guys get one?

Here’s links to some of the articles referenced in the episode:

The FAA is giving us more time to play with our gadgets while flying… Google is in the mood to “Help Out” its users, while at the same time keeping a mysterious series of barges off our shorelines… Chess talks about the next generation game systems (Xbox One, PS4, but no Wii… sorry, Nintendo…), and Alan rants about Mavericks and iOS 7 issues.

Apple released their latest mobile operating system - iOS 7 - to iPhones and iPads around the world recently, and the guys on "New Stuff" are here to talk about it!  What is their overall favorite new feature (HINT: they all have the same one!)?  Does this help Apple compete better against the Android platform?  And is anyone besides Alan having a hard time with the new icons?

Along with the iOS 7 discussion, the guys also give their "picks of the month", a favorite web site, app, or gadget that they think listeners should check out.

Your panelists:

What will Apple release on September 10th?  A gold-plated iPhone?  Fingerprint scanning capabilities?  And will it be enough for people to consider Apple "innovative"?

Those burning questions, plus technology used in an emergency, Developer hacks, how Facebook can be linked to low self-esteem, and the hosts' picks of the month... all on this episode of "New Stuff"!

With the name of our show being "New Stuff", it seemed somewhat appropriate that we might have a conversation about the actual "news" and how we are currently getting our information - both nationally and locally. What web sites, apps, or other technologies are we using to get our news, and where do we see things heading in the future?
