ZA Tech Show: Episode 27

Posted on Monday, September 1st, 2008 at 12:49 am by Simon and filed under Podcast episodes.

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….
