Show 113 – Election, Marijuana and iFone.
- Paul says if you join Twitter use a picture and not the Egg! Or the Bunker Mavens will swoop down and Twit Slap you.
- Bosco Anthony puts on a great seminar and mentioned the Bunker Project many times so thanks for the shout out Bosco.
US Election
- There was nothing else on TV so we all watched the US Election.
- Arik brings up a point about how analytics wins… The hard data analytics won!
- Bosco brings up Donald Trump’s rant on Twitter
- Participatory Democracy – will we be voting on everything via our smart phones in the future.
- Digital voting would remove the barrier to entry…
- James will gamify the election.
- Only people with a high Klout score should be able to vote
Marijuana legalized in a few states…
- How will it affect Canada? Will we follow the lead of Washington and Colorado?
- Still a controlled substance federally. The Federal Government may still enforce it.
- Too many threatened industries with Marijuana – cotton, big pharma.
iFone vs iPhone
- Apple sues iFone in Mexico even though iFone had the brand four years before the iPhone came out.
- Apple lost the case and can no longer sell the iPhone under the iPhone name
- Now, iFone is suing Apple for damages…
- Apple is being a little too sue happy and they are getting some of their own now.
Microsoft is making their own phone?
- They came out with the surface and rumours are they are coming out with their own phone.
- Arik says that it coming out with their own hardware is a bad move. The future is not in hardware but is the user interface. MS is placed best in the marketplace to bring out a UI that everyone adopts. Wearable technology… software in the cloud.
- Windows 8 UI is touch screen based and the timing is good. The population is trained to use touch screens now.
- Voice Command, eye tracking, glasses… Bob likes the iTooth.
- James likes the iCondom – alarm sound when diseases are detected.
Gaming with James…
- James and Dawson didn’t watch the election… they played Halo 4 instead.
- Xbox infinity or 760
- Kinect 2
- Is Microsoft monitoring me through the Kinect camera?
- New Black Ops coming soon…
- Battle of the big Three for Christmas… Halo vs Assassins Creed vs Call Of Duty.
- Halo 4 vs Halo 3
- Angry Birds Star Wars
- Wix.com is easy to use and kicks butt… make a site using Wix this week!
