Net Neutrality, Sex with Glass, Bitcoin Gambling and Happy 30th Birthday to the Mac

Uncategorized

This week, Mark, Michael and Jason explored the recent Verizon vs FCC court challenge that ruled that the FCC was unable to force net neutrality on ISPs in the United States. The Macintosh turned 30 whilst President Obama’s speech on surveillance fell on deaf ears. Meanwhile in the Ukraine, the Government used SMS to convey an Orwellian message to local protesters.

We looked at improvements in technology that allow the colour blind to better distinguish colours, how a Las Vegas casino that was the first in the city to install a telephone in 1907 is again leading the introduction of technology by accepting bitcoin as a valid method of payment. As well as having an amusing look at a new Google Glass sex app – ok Glass Pull Out, is a valid command.
