Show 114 – That’s what she said…
The Round Table Intros…
- Bonnie is putting on a Twitter for business training class – www.socialmediasmarter.com
- Bonnie will be putting on more training sessions and on-demand webinars
- James talks about the new Halo game, Bonnie said she has a halo
- Bonnie has surpassed 90 000 Twitter followers…and she is starting her own internet radio show soon
- Margaret is launching a new Google + Hangout show… “To Finance And Protect”
- And another one called “Death and Taxes, how to screw Syria out of money on Youtube”
- Marcel talks about Lucas Films being purchased by Disney. Could be good, could be bad but at least it will be something… They handled Marvel with respect and apparently Hasbro is the next Disney acquisition.
- Randal makes a bad joke about Blackberry…
- More chat about the US Election results
- The Donald tweets and rants on Youtube…
- Sergei from Google also posted about US electoral reform
- Dawson and Marcel say a lot of gay stuff went on in the election too…
That’s what she said…
- Bonnie tried using a Chrome book as her primary device… she said it doesn’t work staying in the cloud all the time.
- Bonnie likes the Windows 8 platform… prefers Windows 8 Pro over RT
- Bonnie makes a HUGE observation – Windows 8 and the way they display information on an organic search will change from pages to a scrolling news feed. Whats the point here? Page one won’t be so important anymore… Wow! Being above the fold would not be as important with a fluid scroll.
- Paid search results could “stick”… the scroll would stop at a sponsored search
Android phones know too much about you…
- Some apps have access to your device’s camera, can send text messages, can make phone calls… all without your knowledge…
- Marcel says who cares… people can know anything about him… Andrew says it isn’t just about privacy. If an app can text people or call people it could cause some serious issues.
- James says only go with reputable apps and read the permissions before you install it.
- Andrew says most people look at that stuff and say “Meh” and install it because it’s a cool app
- Path took some heat for databasing people’s address book in order to notify you when your friends joined the service
- Randal wants an app that will make his phone vibrate when he thinks dirty thoughts…. ???
Do we own our eBooks or are leasing them?
- When you buy an eBook you aren’t buying it you’re leasing the it… even though it says ‘Buy Now’ when you pay for it.
- Digital rights – you have a license for the product
- Can you pass your electronic content to your heirs when you die?
Largest penalty for BitTorrent uploads
- Huge judgment against a guy who uploaded 10 porno movies and allowed them to be distributed on BitTorrent
- Over a million dollars…
- Apparently the guy didn’t defend himself in court so they gave him the maximum allowable damages
- James and Marcel says the porn industry has spearheaded a lot of our current internet technology
Instagram Web Profiles
- You can now have a web presence for your Instagram picture collection
- Twitter tried to buy Instagram and failed… facebook ended up getting them
- Now Twitter is launching their own Photo Filters which will compete with Instagram – won’t have to leave twitter to tweet out your filtered pics.
Gaming With James…
- James and Dawson will be facing the Water Street Dragons to pitch Social Stak for investment $$$
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 – Amazing
- Freemium Games: New Platform (android based) that is 100% freemium based. Kickstarter project
- Bob describes what a Dev Kit is but he starts describing a Gimp Kit instead
- Is Windows 8 attractive for developers – James and Dawson say hell ya!
- XBox Smart Glass – what is it? Uses some of the features of the Xbox platform that typically aren’t used by games like dashboards, etc. It allows your-your smartphone to be your XBox controller
