Microsoft to take on Facebook head-on. Is META starting to crumble? How did the UK set up to have the world's most extensive automated drone superhighway? Amazon Targets Fake Review Fraudsters on Facebook, and do you sometimes subscribe to a news feed or content and then cancel the same day? If so, you're not alone. We have James Riddle joining us to talk about animals, the science and technology behind some interesting critters, and how they might help us fight the war against cancer. We have Gwen Way back with Gadgets and Gear. In addition, we have our standard features, including "This Week in Technology," | "Mike's Mesmerizing Moment," and, of course, our "Pick of the Day" whiskey tasting.

July 17, 1970 - The Odyssey
Ralph Baer demonstrates the video game system he invented, simply called the “Brown Box”, to Magnavox engineering, production, and marketing management in Ft Wayne, IN. Previously Baer had demoed the Brown Box to many other TV manufacturers including RCA, GE, Zenith, Sylvania, and Magnavox themselves without any licensing agreements. A licensing agreement with RCA was written but canceled in March of that year. It was this demo with Magnavox’s VP of Marketing present that would eventually lead to the creation of the first home video game system, the Magnavox Odyssey, and the birth of the video game industry.
