[Censored] – inThirty 107

 

With all this NSA news coming out, we thought it would be a good idea to discuss what has happened in the last few weeks.  We focus on services that have shut down, and are now facing legal issues for it.  We discuss what it means to use internet services, and how to truly trust no one.  We are joined by Tom Webster, our resident security expert, to discuss these topics.

inThirty 77 – BackBerry

blackberry-10

BlackBerry must have heard that we were doing a show today, and decided that they wanted the guys from inThirty to talk about it.  Listen in as we give the best non biased review we can of the armchair quarterbacking you love from Chaim, Harry, and Justin. We discuss if this is a reinvention, or too little too late.  How does the hardware compare to the current crop of smartphones?  Does the keyboard, both virtual and hardware, keep in line with the keyboards RIM err… BlackBerry is known for.  Finally we takle the OS.  Is QNX really worth it?
