Radiothon 2014, Koala cars, iPhone hijacking, Laser phones and Chromecast

Technology

This week we had a very special Radiothon 2014 episode with Mark, Raena, Jason and Michael.  We chatted with our support admin volunteer Moshin about ‘That’s so JOY’ and what it means to him.

On the tech side we looked at Google’s latest Koala car – well their prototype driverless cars (or is that driverless horseless carriages?) that is basically a box with two seats – no pedals, mirrors or steering wheel.  Google Chromecast finaly arrives in Australia and you can smarten up your TV to see videos, share your browser window and view photos.

Hackers have taken advantage of Apple’s find my phone feature by hijacking some users iPhones.  Although unconfirmed, it would appear that they are taking advantage of people reusing passwords across multiple sites to lock the phone, demanding cash to make it usable again.  Please ensure that you don’t reuse passwords on different sites to minimise this type of hack.  Apple is also set to release its Smart Home platform at this weeks WWDC conference and there is confirmaiton that it has bought Beats Music & Electronics for $3billion USD in cash and stock swap.

LG have released a new phone that uses lasers to get the camera to focus to give almost instantaneous response to its massive 13 megapixel resolution.  And buttons seem to be the rage with smarphone case maker Cliq seeking funding for configurable buttons on their case that don’t require battery power.
