Is it a bigger screen on a smartphone? A smaller one on a tablet? How about a campfire pot that can charge your iPhone? What truly is the next gadget or ‘leap’ in technology that will wow us? Have we become bored with the current state of personal electronic gadgets?
Special guest Chris Kurtz co-hosts as Brad is off this week. Chris talks up the new Android-only augmented reality game “Ingress” and excitedly reports on progress of getting electrical vehicle charging stations at his home in downtown Phoenix.

TechnoBabble #26: SkyTran is Personal Rapid Transportation (yes, for real!)

Our long-awaited interview with SkyTran CEO Jerry Sanders is the subject of this week’s show. Never heard of SkyTran? Essentially, it’s “The Jetsons” made into reality – no, not actual flying cars but high-speed, non-stop personal transportation that is coming very soon a city near you.
SkyTran Vehicle
How can this be possible, you say? Well, people generally don’t want to get out of their cars. Existing public transit, which some would consider “efficient” is actually not efficient at all, when it comes to resources, costs and time. If you could go from point A to point B, inexpensively, non-stop at up to 50 mph (inner-city, 100+ mph outside of city core) in your very own SkyTran vehicle that glided above the ground, why would you choose to travel any other way?
The first SkyTran systems are due to be installed in countries such as Israel and India within 2 years, where there has been great interest. The US, not surprisingly, has been generally cold to the idea…but there is support in Mountain View, CA, near the home of SkyTran’s HQ. Want SkyTran in your town? Get on the SkyTran website and Facebook page and voice your support! There will soon be a petition available to send to government and civic leaders to ask for SkyTran systems to be installed. It’s time to quit putting in light rail and trolleys and use the technology that we have available to continue moving the human race through the 21st century and beyond.

TechnoBabble #25: CES 2013…3D is dead, but 4K is here!

CES 2013 was devoid of 3D campaigns this year, but yet 4K TVs were everywhere. Is CES still relevant? What were our picks? Some notable headlines plus a review of AirParrot.
Many tech pundits this year were asking if CES was still relevant, or even needed anymore. With Microsoft, Apple and others not even showing up…..why does anyone else need to go? We talk about it and Joe gives his experience of attending CES in years past.
Our interesting picks from CES include Corning’s new “Willow” bendable glass (on the good side) and Panasonic’s bizarre 20″ tablet (on the bad side).
And…so 3D is dead? Was it ever “alive”? We think it’s been mostly a gimmick from day one. But hey! If you’re not interested in 3D, how about 4K? It’s double the resolution of 1080p HD video and there’s almost no content available for it, but why don’t you get in-line to get yourself a 4K TV and be the first one on the block! Let us know how it works out for you, if you’ve got $30k lying around for Samsung’s new 85″ 4K TV!
In recent headlines: Cisco is building a home automation box for AT&T, Susan Crawford says America is behind on broadband (duh!), Brad asks us “Is time for six-legged meatballs?“ and a giant squid is seen in the deep sea for the first time on video.
Joe talks up his favorite new app on his Mac, AirParrot – wirelessly streams your Mac or Windows to Apple TV (without needing Mountain Lion!). It’s extremely versatile and does more than what the built-in AirPlay Mirroring does in ML.
And, both Brad and Joe want to “Anostyle” their iPhones, but it’s just a bit too pricey!
