Simblified

Recently, there was a bit of brouhaha in the Parliament about something called the Aadhar Bill. What is it? Why is it important? How many jam puns can you make in a minute? Chuck and Naren, your messiahs of deconstructing the world around you, are here with all these answers and more.

Apart from these, we look at some ridiculous Guinness records, and an effect which you better hope you don't have.

Ever been confused about how many pixels you actually need? Do megapixels matter? OF COURSE THEY DO but probably not as much as you thought. Today, we look at these complicated terms and importantly, how you as a buyer needs to look out for them.

Oh, and we do some other nonsense as well - like wondering if we could consume sweat lassi (yes, you read that right), Chuck speaking in a robot voice to appease his future overlords, the connection between goats and cabs, and (fascinatingly enough) neurogastronomy. https://newrepublic.com/article/128899/man-will-transform-eat

Do you like this? You can now also wow this, sad this and angry this. Be prepared as social media misunderstandings could take an astronomical leap thanks to the social network's newest buttons. We look at them, and the impact of FB on emotions.

We also look at a technology which might eventually mean a trip to Jupiter is just a feature film's worth of time away, an inescapable PG Wodehouse reference about hangovers (inspired by this article:http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/20/mcdonalds-big-breakfast_n_9281486.html) and some word origins.

So what was this budget thing all about? Don't worry, we have no clue either! But that won't stop us from recording a podcast about it. So join us as we attempt to read behind what Arun Jaitley had to offer last Monday. Also, we look at Leap Year Day and the fascinating company that is Buzzfeed - you won't believe what happens next! Love us? Hate us? Either way, hit us up here: @chuck_gopal and @shenoyn

Just what on earth is this cryptocurrency thing that everyone is talking about? Should I care? Will my sabjiwala ask me to pay him in virtual currencies? Chuck and Naren explore what this technology is. Also, we look at the biggest ecommerce day in the world, the word onomatopoeia (so beautiful!), and the internet of medicine (the full article here:techcrunch.com/2016/02/16/the-in…he-doctor-ordered)

Simblified is back, after being able to con one of India's largest podcast networks (Indus Vox Media)into signing us on! So look forward to the same nonsense but with improved frequency (apologies) and better audio quality! Wooo!

This week, we look at a whole host of things, including:

Gravitational waves - what the heck are they and why should I care? Should we be worried about Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize? Takeaways from the CES (And, what on earth is the CES?) Article of the week: How General Motors stole Tesla's thunder (www.wired.com/2016/01/gm-electri…y-bolt-mary-barra/) A new section where we look at the etymologies behind some words and places (aka how to impress your date)

We hope you enjoy this (longer than usual) episode.

Feedback? Ping us on @chuck_gopal and @shenoyn on Twitter. Enjoy!
