inThirty 145 – Pre Google I/O 2014

Just like pre WWDC, we talk about what is going to happen at Google I/O. Also like our pre WWDC, we couldn’t contain the show to just half hour. Instead of taking notes, we just winged it. You got thirty minutes of us trying to figure out what I/O is going to be this year.

Mid-Summer Night’s Google Announcement (After Dark) – inThirty 103b

This is the post show where we discuss all the mistakes that mainly Chaim said throughout the show. We are joined by Michael Degusta, and Kelly Guimont

————————
We took “Breakfast with Sundar Pichai,” and finally digested it.  We present with you with the inThirty nightcap.  Which of the big three announcements is the most important.  Is a Nexus 7 worth it.  Is Chaim’s assessment that Android OS is now taking a backseat.

 

Show Notes:
Chrome Cast SDK
Play Store – Chrome Cast
Nexus 7
Android 4.3

inThirty 83 – No, no Google I/O

IO_edit

Did Chaim get into I/O? Did Justin become the new Pope? Did Harry say something nice about non apple anything? Tune in on this week where we talk Google, Google, Google. First we discuss whether Chaim got into I/O. We discuss the problems with Google Wallet, and all the other issues with it. Then we delve into the other announcements of the day. What will happen with Android and Chrome now that Andy Rubin has stepped down. FInally we discuss all the spring cleaning problems Google let out today.

inThirty 80 – Not So Special Announcements

Sony
What happens when announcements don’t have that wow factor?  Even big companies suffer from boring announcements or botched product launches.  In this week’s episode  we talk about two announcements that should have been larger than life, but fell on pretty much deaf ears.

[Editor’s Note] – Sorry for the delay.  We will try to be more proactive about getting episodes out on time.

You can always watch us live on YouTube, Wednesday’s at 9pm
