G+_Mark Richards Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Agreed. I think the three of them had great chemistry. I would love to see Mike Elgan and Andy Ihnatko on NFSW someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Damian Mongru Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Only halfway through the podcast - a couple of the items have already made me think of the TV show Black Mirror. Firstly, the sad news regarding Steven3x, my thoughts go out to his family. This led to a discussion on tweets continuing after you die etc. This is touched upon in Be Right Back (S2Ep1), whilst the Google Glass 'always-on video' is similar to The Entire History of You (S1Ep3). What I like about this is that it takes the discussion in another direction - for example, rather than private videos being leaked, the user obsesses over his relationship, and replays scenes looking for body language etc that reinforces his own feelings. Anyway, satire/sci-fi that's worth a watch. http://www.channel4.com/microsites/B/black-mirror/index.html Shwood was a bit hit 'n' miss yesterday. his ideas for Google Glass were a bit too far out-there for me. However, he had a plausible reason for the Chromebook Pixel. If you're in the Google ecosystem, you still may want a premium, high-quality laptop. As for Google Glass, I'm not sure what to make of this. I mean I love the tech, and I'm the one person in the world who doesn't think they look super dorky. However, are they just a HUD? Or is it just that the time of the HUD is here - with mobile communications all the processing is done elsewhere, and the image sent to your eye. That still leaves Glass as a $1500 screen.

G+_Bryan-Mitchell Young Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 yet another show where leo talks about how much he hates google glass and the pixel. We get it. Leo doesn't like them. Fine. Then stop talking about them every single show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Lyons Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Andy's constant "no no no" when someone else with a different opinion than his was talking was pretty annoying. Other than that, it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Damian Mongru Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Bryan-Mitchell Young The genius was, after hammering Google for the Pixel and Glass the next comment was how great it was for TWiT to spread the word of technology to the masses - not quite the advert Google is looking for, methinks. From the reviews I have read (e.g. Engadget and The Verge) the Pixel seems to be a phnomenally well designed laptop (again I even think it is a beautiful looking laptop), with a great keyboard, trackpad and screen. So, is the main problem just the price? Hmmmm, £1.049 is crazy-expensive, so I'm thinking £700 to £750 and I'll have a serious look. Is there a Google equivalent to Nokia's CityLens, as that would be an excellent use of Glass - but still a HUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
