This Week In Tech [TWIT] // Episode 48

twit logo

This week on TWIT, your esteemed hosts will be…well…just Leo. But he’s got four of the original Apple employees on the line to chat about Apple’s 30th anniversary, including Bill Fernandez, Andy Hertzfeld, Daniel Kottke, Randy Wigginton, and Steve Wozniak, And that’s right, the episode is all about Apple’s 30th birthday. Now I’m as much of an Apple fanatic as the next person, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not so sure that this was a great TWIT idea; maybe it should have been a MacBreak special, since that’s the community it’s geared at, but all in all, I still think it was a good show. I did miss the perspective of the other TWITs though. Love it or hate it, it’s here and ready for your download!

What did you think of the show? Let us know in the comments!

Inside the Net with Amber MacArthur // Episode 16

This week on Inside the Net, Amber and Leo discuss a tool that’s somewhat close to their hearts, Podzinger [ http://podzinger.com/ ] and chat with the man in charge, Alex Laats, president of BBN Delta. They discuss what Podzinger is, for those of you not in the know, and how you can use it and what you can use it for (ie, searching podcasts for content), then launch right into the interview with Laats and discuss why he created Podzinger, what he hopes to bring to the public, and where he’s planning on going from here. Definitely an interesting show if you, like us here, love podcasts. Enjoy!

On this week’s Security Now, Leo and Steve talk security again, and they’re back on the topic of crypto and securing data from would-be prying eyes. This week they discuss symmetric block ciphers. They recoup from last week’s brain teaser and move on to discuss ciphers by describing what they are, what they do, and what they can potentially do for (or against) you! You crypto fans in the audience will definitely get a kick out of this week’s episode. Tune in and find out what they’ve said!
