Welcome to the technology blog and podcast, podcast 313. We've got a lot for you in a wide variety of news, notes, Braille 2000 stuff, and more.
Wipro (pronounced We Pro) is in the news big time. There are three articles which are talked about in the first segment. The 2019 Phishing Trends and Intellegence Report is out. Some very interesting stats within this article that I discuss. Julian Assange was recently picked up for violating the CFAA according to a report. I thought I saw multiple articles, but one article was retrieved. I talk about this development. Braille 2000 is getting ready to release their next version. In a segment, I talk about the Braille 2000 percent codes in general, highlighting the entire list that I have, skipping some which aren't available yet. They're talked about in passing, but no code is discussed in full. The web site has removed Version 1 of the software, and version 2 that has been ran is now on the home page. Two ted talks about seizures and heart attacks are talked about and the full talks are played in full. You can search the talks separately through YouTube on the ted talks channel. The articles dealing with Wipro are hard to swallow. Clearly, nobody knows what is happening, but hopefully they've found the issue and corrected it. Being an IT company, you need to understand these things and do proper PR. The PR here was not good, and I'm sure they'll feel the reprocussions for awhile.
