BP Gulf Oil Spill Continues to run, Methods are getting desperate, Podcast: Play in new window | Download We discuss a good range of topics from Cupcake and beer cannons, to coffee personalities, Puns, Religion, Video and some show news. All in all a tight knit ball of information i hope to unravel into your ears. Tags: apple, beer, cannon, Coffee, cupcake, News, personality, puns, religion, ROASTe, Tea, tech, videoWired recently reported that a Hacker Disabled More Than 100 Cars Remotely. The “Hacker”, not to be confused with Angelina Jolie in the movie of the same name, obtained a password and managed to abuse a no start function in the cars. This time the system in question is canned Webtech Plus, a way for car branches to repo vehicles that haven’t been paid for by making them unusable. Take this as a warning people. Any machine once connected to a network is inherently vulnerable. You can code tight as you can, run every type of security measure you want in front of and behind the connection. But as so many sci fi writers have written, Information Wants to be free. I would never want a no start feature in my car. You can sell as many OnStar vehicular recovery features that you want but if it means someone can either maliciously or mistakenly cause my car to do things i don’t command it to then i’m against it. This was just the first publicized example of the system being abused. Have to say the Pay Technologies little black box under the hood is quite reminiscent of a loan shark coming around to rough you up a bit and “remind you” to pay I wonder how you check to see if this system is installed, or if the car buyers are made aware of it when they purchase?
Ok at some point its not tech and its just fun because we can. The scanner travels back and forth across the canvas which is a giant roll of bubble wrap injecting dye inot each bubble. The problem is that TV is don in RGB, percentages of Red Green and Blue, as the three primary colors of light. Pigment doesn’t work that way so they need to use Cyan Magenta and Yellow dye to create similar colors. CYM. Which is the same set of basic inks most printers use. Bigger images and a video of the contraption in action after the jump Read the rest of this entry »  Quis custodiet ipsos custodes By now most people have heard of the situation in Lower Merion PA where a student was given a laptop and information from that laptop was used to discipline the kid for something he did at home. There are a lot of vague areas about this story so I’m going to try to stick to what we know for certain, anything else only furthers the hysteria which is bound to follow. We know that the laptops given to the students had software installed on them which was able to access the webcam and monitor the system in case of theft to allow them to be recovered. We know that a student was disciplined for an action either view through the camera or from an image taken with the laptop camera. This image was obtained through the use of this software by a school official or teacher. Other students have reported seeing the camera led activity indicator turn on for no reason, although this is just heresay at this point Read the rest of this entry »
I love the simplicity of the design and the classic shapes. they hit all of the right buzz words of the day. Made from sustainable rubberwood, in Thailand. Its not so much that Thailand is an advantageous place t do business but its not china, which has a whole ton of bad press about kids toys and disregard for product safety. I’m almost tempted to buy them for school as they perfectly illustrate additive color theory. However at $39.99 I think they will be a wonderful example from afar. 6 blocks for 40 dollars breaks down to just over $6.67 per block, and that’s might pricey. Via OhGizmo!

I hurt myself in work today doing something very inane, but when you have a condition like mine, normal is a relative term. So please excuse the lack of my normal prose filled intro and beautifully constructed reviews. With one hand in a cast bent at an odd angle typing this was a feat in and of itself. ———————- Sponsor: Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days!

The area covered by those labeled as the Tech, Computer Guy, or Gal are vast. Some of us play with lights on a stage, others fiddle with audio behind a curtain. Still others of us fix machines. But more often than not its easier to say I’m the Computer guy to friends and family when they ask what you do. Below you will find the rolls I have seen Techs filling, feel free to add whatever you want at the bottom via comment, it might spark something. These are all meant to be funny,m and shouldn’t be taken to heart, either by the people who are these techs, or those who call on them for help. Scroll through the Tech Types see which one fits!

Today’s Show:Cryptography, Leftovers, Recycling, Soda, Coffee, Caffeine, Robots, Ads, Kindle Today’s show is a bit off kilter from what we usually do. I switched machines for recording and the CaffiNation Lair is quite silent right now. The correct way to record is to isolate any extra noise, so this is the closest i’ve had yet to perfect conditions. Great content from front to back a bit of serious in the middle. We are recovering from a long weekend of family fun and work. Enjoy the Episode!
