Geek Actually Tech Episode 001 – iPilot

Geek Actually Tech Cover ArtHosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott and Shane Gregory

Geek Actually Tech is recorded live on Ustream with chat interaction.

The tech show by geeks for geeks and non-geeks. Accessible tech for everyone is the motto we live by. This weeks topic, iPad.

Tech News: iinet wins it’s landmark piracy court case, Steve Jobs takes shots at Google and Adobe and The Internet is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Tech Opinion: This week our main discussion is Apple’s new product, the iPad. Is it the must have device of 2010, ushering in the promised new world of portable computing? Or is it just another ho-hum gadget that is going to collect dust alongside the PSP Go, Apple’s Newton, the scanner you were talked into buying with your computer, your VHS player or that foot spa you got for Christmas 5 years ago? In our discussion we look at tech specs, pricing, education, market research and most importantly, the features.

Every week we record the Platforms Podcast while feeding it live to Ustream. We record the Ustream feed and it is available go back and watch later if you want. It occurred to me that we should just embed the past shows here so you can find them easily. You never know, you’re listening to that podcast and something visual happens, now you can simply find the show here and watch what happened. Enjoy.

Coming Soon Titles: This week: ‘Bioshock 2’ and ‘MAG’. Coming soon: ‘Aliens Vs Predator’.

Review of the Week: This week, an in depth love fest for ‘Mass Effect 2’. Is it too soon to call Game of the Year?

Opinion of the Week: A very, very brief run down of Bioware games, past and present. Did I tell you yet that it is very brief :-)

This Week in Television: The final ‘Dollhouse’ episode has aired and we take a look back on the show and review the last episode to see if it was all worth it.

This Week’s Feature Review: This week we look John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s ‘The Road’ starring Viggo Mortensen. An excellent film that is at times uncomfortable to watch. This is a film that will make you remember it even if you don’t want to.

The People vs. George Lucas Trailer

OMG! I love this trailer. For so long we have heard the arguments from both sides about George Lucas and his, ahem, film making decisions. Well, here is a documentary for all the fan boys out there. I can’t wait for this film to come out and then listen to all the fanboy discussions in the cinema lobby afterwards :-)
