Printing with water, Going flappy, Warp drives & space, Hacking in Russia and Facebook gender assignment

Technology

This week Michael and Craig had an in depth discussion about space, warp drives and the current status of the technology and how it matched up with science fiction.  We followed up on last weeks story about hacking in Sochi and were reminded that things do not always seem to be as they appear.

In other news, Facebook has changed the way it allows its users to identify themselves from a gender perspective as well as giving control over who gets to see their choice, Flappy birds has come and gone and we had a look at what made the game so addictive and why it was withdrawn from the market.  Printing with water is a new take to reduce printing costs and allow paper to be reused and Police forces around the world are using technology in new ways – is this good or not?  Plus the usual roundup of news and items that tickle our fancy.
