Episode description

Mark, Raena, Jason & Michael kicked off this weeks show looking at rumours surrounding the 09-Sep launch of the iPhone 6.   Larger, faster & better is the general consensus with screen size likely  to grow to 4.7″ and 5.5″, increased resolution to maintain retina display and the faster and more power efficient A8 processor.  The jury is still out as to whether it will have a sapphire screen or not.

The whole Technogaze crew were fighting for the microphone when we looked at the Governments plans for ISP mandatory data retention.  Confusion over what constitutes meta data and what precisely falls under the data retention umbrella was shared equally across the media and Government members.

Jason’s ranty pants were thoroughly aired before we looked at plans by the Government to combat online piracy.  The Government is requesting submissions from the public on their discussion paper prior to 01-September.

MIT used chip packets and indoor plants to spy on conversations using an ordinary video camera, while London Buses are allowing customers to pay for their trips with their phones instead of an Oyster card.  Jason showed off his Android Wear watch and discussed some possibilities of dating app integration.
