Jupiter@Nite Large Video

Last Thursday we featured some of our favorite predictions from Sci-Fi classics. We asked to hear yours and expected a few good responses. Boy were we terribly, terribly wrong! You sent in a TON of great suggestions!

Tonight’s episode of Juptier@Nite is powered by your submissions!

Back in March, we published an episode all about the things that Hollywood got dead-wrong in some of its biggest Sci-Fi blockbusters. You guys seemed to love it, even though we were a bunch of negative nancies, hatin’ on the sci-fi movies.

Tonight we’ve decided to take a similar idea, but turn our gaze to celebrating the triumphs of science fiction; all the things they’ve gotten RIGHT over the years, whether predicting the details of manned space flight or handheld gadgets. From authors to modern cinematic blockbusters… which predictions were accurate? And which may yet still come to pass?

Thanks to:

FreshBooks.com for their sponsorship of tonight’s show!

Our journey has taken us from the science of space propulsion, to the practical issues of a manned space flight to Mars. If we made it to Mars, what challenges would we face? What epic efforts must we undertake to survive the “Red Planet”?

Plus we share a little insight into the efforts underway here on earth to prepare us for our future missions on Mars!

Find out the real facts behind LizaMoon, our tips to clean up your infected PC, and what to spot to detect if you’ve been infected.

Tonight’s episode we look at the practical issues of traveling to Mars! In a previous episode, we talked about the possibility of life on Mars. But what if we want to get our selves there?

We cover Amazon’s new Cloud Drive service and Cloud Player. Find out how they both hold up from services like Dropbox, SugarSync, and even Pandora. Plus Chris got some hands on today with the Android app for the Cloud Player service, and took it out for a spin, streaming all the way!

NASA’s recent announcement of the 100-Year Starship project we thought it would be a good time to take a look at the present and future of space travel!

We really have no right to be excited about a browser. The days of the browser wars are supposed to be far behind us, aren’t they? But once in a while, a really good software project will catch any geek’s eye, and let’s be frank – We Like Firefox.

Recent versions of Firefox have been a bit lackluster compared with other browser offerings. But they’ve just changed all of that with the launch of their latest major revision: Firefox 4.0

Tune in tonight to hear just why you might want to take a look at the latest offering from Mozilla, and how it could potentially improve your web browsing experience.

In the recent days there has been a lot of news that’s got us asking, WTF? Our journey in this episode takes us from the birthday boy, William Shatner, to Taco Bell, masturbating ghosts, and the ultimate place for a lady to stash the goods!

And so much more!
