US Election
There was nothing else on TV so we all watched the US Election.
Arik brings up a point about how analytics wins… The hard data analytics won!
Bosco brings up Donald Trump’s rant on Twitter
Participatory Democracy – will we be voting on everything via our smart phones in the future.
Digital voting would remove the barrier to entry…
James will gamify the election.
Only people with a high Klout score should be able to vote
Marijuana legalized in a few states…
How will it affect Canada? Will we follow the lead of Washington and Colorado?
Still a controlled substance federally. The Federal Government may still enforce it.
Too many threatened industries with Marijuana – cotton, big pharma.
iFone vs iPhone
Apple sues iFone in Mexico even though iFone had the brand four years before the iPhone came out.
Apple lost the case and can no longer sell the iPhone under the iPhone name
Now, iFone is suing Apple for damages…
Apple is being a little too sue happy and they are getting some of their own now.
Microsoft is making their own phone?
They came out with the surface and rumours are they are coming out with their own phone.
Arik says that it coming out with their own hardware is a bad move. The future is not in hardware but is the user interface. MS is placed best in the marketplace to bring out a UI that everyone adopts. Wearable technology… software in the cloud.
Windows 8 UI is touch screen based and the timing is good. The population is trained to use touch screens now.
Voice Command, eye tracking, glasses… Bob likes the iTooth.
James likes the iCondom – alarm sound when diseases are detected.
Gaming with James…
James and Dawson didn’t watch the election… they played Halo 4 instead.
Xbox infinity or 760
Kinect 2
Is Microsoft monitoring me through the Kinect camera?
New Black Ops coming soon…
Battle of the big Three for Christmas… Halo vs Assassins Creed vs Call Of Duty.
