Minnov8 Gang 242 – A Thousand Monkeys

November 30, 2013 By Steve Borsch

mobilewriter-newThe infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. What if there were a thousand monkeys? Could they create a book on mobile writing? Or would it take a seasoned technology writer to create one called The Mobile Writer and make it available for sale for $2.99?

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson and Julio Ojeda-Zapata.
Music: Wine, Woman and Song  Artist: Johnny Ferrerira. Brought to us by Music Alley.

Minnov8 Gang 241 – When Will Ads Call You By Name?

November 22, 2013 By Steve Borsch

ads-by-nameIn the Tom Cruise movie Minority Report, there is this minute long scene where Cruise’ character, Chief John Anderton, is called by name as he walks down a corridor filled with ads. In this show we discuss our local retailers and the holiday season, but then move in to Apple’s iBeacon technology, which promises to get us closer than ever to Minority Report’s vision of a future adscape.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Julio Ojeda-Zapata (Phil Wilson is off).
Music: Hudson River Station  Artist: Dan-O. Brought to us by the podsafe Music Alley.
