Aussie Community TV’s future in doubt, Apple made a small announcement, Scruff responds to Grindr privacy breach

Technology

In this special extended episode, Adam Richard joins Mark, Raena and Donna to discuss the latest in tech, including Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 6, Apple Watch, and Apple Pay.  We discussed Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s announcement to turn off Community TV here in Australia by discontinuing the allocation of spectrum currently allocated to Channel 31, and other channels across the country.  We also discussed how well entrenched platforms, along with DRM, can very easily enable content to simply vanish from all our devices.

Grindr’s privacy concerns came up again this week – where it turned out to be very easy to pinpoint the location who had their “distance” featured turned on.  Competitor Scruff responded with a very easy-to-follow explanation of the technological problem, and steps they took 1 year ago to ensure such a breach isn’t feasible on their app.
