A fun news week, hence our expanded edition coverage of what’s new, exciting, and adds to a brighter future!
A couple of notes on this show…with the launch of the Cygnus supply ship to the International Space Station this week, we see the beginning of private enterprise competition in space, as the second private company. Orbital Sciences Corporation, enters the foray with SpaceX. This will be fun to watch, as more and more players play in space!
And speaking of competition in new spaces, we discuss GM’s latest foray into electric vehicles, with plans for a car that challenges Tesla in terms of range (200 miles per charge), for half the cost. We do point out that Tesla is not standing still, with evidence showing that they will be adding autonomous driving to their vehicles in the near future! But come on, you gotta try to keep up, GM!
And in the computer world, we discuss Apple’s new fingerprint sensor, and potential ways to fool it, like lobbing off someone’s finger to access their data, as we’ve seen in so many shows and movies. Apple has thought about this, and have a solution…
As Twitter prepares to enter the investment world with it’s upcoming IPO, we thought it to be a good time to look at some of the significant moments that Twitter has brought us since it’s inception. If nothing else, it has proven to be a great breaking news and group organization tool, especially useful in this day and age. Have you discovered the power of your Tweets yet?
And what’s this about Estrogen? Turns out male aging processes, like belly fat and libido drop, can be directly attributed to this typically perceived female hormone. Considered by many as a major scientific advance, we now realize that Estrogen is not just for the feminine anymore. We now know that we need both the big E & T (testosterone) to feel whole..go figure..
