ZA Tech Show: Episode 27

This week we are joined by Jason Norwood-Young from the Mail & Guardian and Altech CEO Craig Venter. We discuss:

• The high court’s industry-changing decision regarding Altech Autopage Cellular and the VANS industry.
• Comcast in the USA enforcing bandwidth caps at 250 gigabytes and the state of limited access in South Africa.
• Mobile data routing.
• Jason provides dodgy tips for hackers.
• Mozilla Ubiquity – stitching Web content together has never been this easy or awesome.
• Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash, AIR and the future of Web apps.
• Mark Surman leaving the Shuttleworth Foundation and joining the Mozilla Foundation as executive director.
• Britons unhappy with the iPhone’s lack of Flash. Apparently the casing on the 3G iPhone cracks too.
• The introduction of 802.11s and wireless mesh networks.
• The legality of wireless user groups.
• Boosting wireless signals. Don’t try this at home. Seriously.
• The perceived danger of cellular waves (btw, check out this link if you, like Jon, want to know more about non-ionising radiation).

And more….
