Technology

In this episode, Michael, Mark, Jason and Raena discuss the latest in tech including Russia’s moves to further track citizens’ Internet usage.  Australia’s biggest telco, Telstra, has bought into it’s way into media content delivery, with its recent $270m acquisition of video platform Ooyala. Australian tech retailer JB Hifi blames Apple’s lacklustre performance with the iPad for its own poor sales results.

We also discussed recent revelations that the city of Berlin has banned Uber from operating its hire car service within its jurisdiction.

We compared diversity in gender and minority groups amongst the big tech companies including Apple and Google.  And while on the topic of big tech, a US$350m settlement has been denied by the courts, forcing an imminent trial to thrash out accusations of a conspiracy to avoid poaching each other’s employees.
