Full Frontal Nerdity

This week we're joined by Vince Mayfield, CEO of Bit-Wizards, and we discuss how to hack public transportation, how to crash an iPhone, and how to migrate data across the arctic tundra. You know... all the useful stuff.

This week we thankfully don't have ANY hacks or viruses to talk about. So we reminisce about the good old days of AOL's CD-ROMs and dial-up over wifi. We discuss the merits of large hard drives, the cool new drones you can't afford, and you should check the weather because it's 32º in hell right now... Microsoft is now a platinum member of the Linux Foundation.

We have a full team this week; Jeff is back in the hot seat, and special guest (and Nintendo afficionado) Ben Taylor returns to share his wisdom. This week we teach you how to keep your swinging lifestyle secret (don't re-use passwords), explain the best way to stop your GoPro Karma from crashing (don't fly it), and discuss how to stop Spotify from crashing your hard drive (switch to Apple Music). SO MUCH GREAT ADVICE!

This week we talk about the internet losing it's collective mind over Apple losing the legacy (and not so legacy) ports on the new MacBook Pro. We talk about Microsoft releasing some new apps in Office 365 to compete with some indie market leaders. And Joaquin gets excited about an internet-connected talking fish. The usual.

This week we keep it simple and talk about the latest and greatest new hardware from the Apple and Microsoft events; MacBook Pros and Surfaces galore!

Sam is on vacation :( but we manage. Plenty to talk about, but rumored hardware tops the list; Otto-bots Assemble!, new Macs coming soon, new Microsoft hardware to be announced, and new Nintendo gaming console… complete with game cartridges to blow!

The gang is back to tell you about this week's tech news... new server software from Microsoft, new SSDs from Western Digital, new music streaming options, and new podcast recommendations.

This week on FFN we commiserate with Samsung over the disaster that is the story of the Note 7, we conversate about the new hardware from Google's event, and we collaborate on Kickstarter for cool new ways to keep your pants from falling down.

This week on the podcast we talk about Office 365 going head to head with Google's rebranded G-Suite, Facebook competing with Slack, Craigslist and eBay all at once, and Blackberry loses the fight against the relentless forward march of technology. Get your ringside seats right here on Full Frontal Nerdity.

We are joined, this week, by HubSpot certified marketing genius, Candie, who weighs in on Facebook's shady counting system, and we also discuss Yahoo! losing its resale value, Pokémon Go losing it's #1 position, and Windows 7 is losing the "Get with the program" nag screen. Yay, FFN!

We are joined this week by special guest Jeremy Hofer and we discuss the Note 7 recall and the iPhone 7 selling out. We also talk about why you can't both have an HP Inkjet printer and send your kids to college, and why eBay wants to buy your old phone, but AdBlock Plus wants to sell you ad-space. Nothing but the best news on Full Frontal Nerdity!

Deepest apologies about the missing episode from last week... somebody piped the recording to /dev/null. Yeesh. This week the gang discusses exploding android phones, dieting PlayStations and, of course, the new Apple Watch and iPhone 7... now showerproof.

We catch you up on more tech news from the week; from hackers getting into voter databases to Spotify getting into the strong-arm business, from WhatsApp giving up your info to Facebook to Facebook giving up an entire department, and from McDonald's failed attempt to make kids healthy to Apple's failed attempt to dodge taxes in Ireland.

In this week's episode of FFN we talk about how to read underwater, what mixed reality means, when to upgrade your android phone , where to get music online, and why your webcam doesn't work anymore. A veritable fount of information!

This week we have a lot to talk about; The Chinese have created a quantum tunneling satellite, the Australians have crashed their government's servers, the German's have left their cars open to hacking, the Japanese are installing custom utility poles for better quality surround sound, and the American's are letting robots go to court for them. It's an olympic special on Full Frontal Nerdity!

This week we discuss the hacks released at Black Hat, new gear from Samsung, changes to Hulu's offerings and YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT FACEBOOK DID WITH THEIR ALGORITHM. All this and more on Full Frontal Nerdity!

On this week's episode of Full Frontal Nerdity we debate the wisdom of inviting Russians to hack your system, we discuss the awesomeness that is Windows 10, and we digress about whether Jediism is the best religion. You can't make this stuff up! (Even though we did).

Special guest Alex Morrow joins us to talk about Microsoft's earnings report, and the gang also discusses the Russians hacking the DNC, Verizon buying up internet companies from the 1990's, and Seagate's opportunity to lose ALL your data with a single drive failure. So exciting!

Poor Randy had to work today and couldn't make the podcast, but the rest of the gang is here to tell you why you have random strangers are wandering through your yard, why Netflix won't let you watch Star Trek, and why Microsoft loves Skype on Linux. Gotta catch 'em all!

The whole crew is back together, and this week we're talking about how that $1 frosty from Wendy's could cost you a lot more, the $1,800 Microsoft Surface Pro could cost you a lot less, and the Pokemon Go app could cost you your dignity when you walk into a lamp post. AR, sucka!
