Episode description
Special guest Sam Ebertz joins Matt and Ryan via Skype and talks about the Kindle Fire, SOPA's blackout protest, the Apple Education event, and the week's technology news, along with a short review on the Wolfram Networking app for iPad. All that, and more!
This week, Matthew Petschl, desk building extraordinaire, and Ryan Rampersad host a guest via mix-minus and Skype! Sam Ebertz is a University of Minnesota student studying Astrophysics and he’s really amazing at math. We talk about his Kindle Fire, the blackout caused by SOPA and the underwhelming Kindle-killer iBooks event from Apple this week.
