The tech show by geeks for geeks and non-geeks. Accessible tech for everyone is the motto we live by. No fixed topic this week, just a distilled version of the weeks news. However we really get into the tech of the Large Hadron Collider. Here are the show notes (links) for the episode. Geek Actually Tech is recorded live on Wednesday nights at 8pm (Australian eastern time). Go to geekactually.com/live to watch it live.
