You Too Can Tube
2/19/2018
The evolution of entertainment continues to progress. Once upon a time, we had 4 channels to choose from, and executives in tall buildings decided what we watch and when. The weird part is, from that time of four channels, things haven’t changed all that much. There were more channels, more shows, more content, but it remained largely the same. Even today, much of this remains the same. But there are a few disruptors out there, and we’re here to talk about some of them, but one in...

Breaking in is hard to do
12/5/2017
With the smartphone market already dominated by two heavy hitters - Samsung and Apple - what is a new OEM to do? How can a new smartphone maker compete? Fortunately, we already have a few examples of what to do and what not to do drawn from history. We discuss those phone makers, what they could've/should've done differently, and what others should do in the future in this episode of the TekBeard podcast.

Cord Cutters Report!
10/4/2017
Cord cutting is a new thing in the world today. Time was that we subscribed to a cable or satellite TV service, and that was it. You got 220 channels of useless crap, and one channel you watched - probably had dancers or pawn shops on it or something.But now, you can pick and choose the apps and services you want, leading to a more a la carte experience. And we’ve been testing it, and now we’re ready to present our results.

It's Covfefe Being Green
6/6/2017
It’s not easy being green, nor it is cheap. It is necessary? Is it even beneficial? There are so many questions that surround the topic of “going green” that cover everything from Teslas to recycling to roofing materials. It’s not always as straightforward as you think and in some cases, might actually be hurting the planet?

Holly Atcha Gameboy (with Special Guest Russell Holly of VR Heads)
5/9/2017
Son, Sit back and let me tell you about a time when Palm was going to release one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. A time when Blackberry was on the rise, and not a superpower in smartphones. A time when Nokia’s new feature phone was a hot item and Snake was the game everyone wanted to play.
Yes, my son, let me tell you about...3 months ago.

Cashing in the Wind Tunnel Wang
4/11/2017
Some podcast topics are the result of a gut instinct from one of our hosts. Others are the topics of long Slack conversations, where we realize we should be recording with microphones. Still others come from Listeners like you. Yes. Just like you. Tonight’s topic came from a comedy of errors, a key-stone cops ish tale of a relatively simple task - share money. Or so I thought. As it turns out, Cliff and Ryan had different ideas and a topic was born.

Fake Twitter Neil Young Hates Freedom

Like so many things in this life, industries tend to progress in a “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” kind of manner. In no industry is this more true than in the Consumer Electronics industry, as of late. Even just in the world of smartphones, we are seeing dramatic shifts in technology as we poor consumers just try to keep up, tread water, or both. But is change necessarily for the better? That’s what we’re here to find out.

Hello and welcome to part two of our Milestone episode. Is this episode 51? Is it episode 50, part 2? Who knows?! But this is a continuing conversation about robots and AI, but we’re no longer talking about today - we’re talking about the world of tomorrow. Where are we headed, and will we walk hand in hand with our Robot assistants, or will we be shackled by our Robot overlords, I mean protectors. Utopia, or end of days?

Depending on your tastes, you might have a vision of the future in which we serve our robot overlords, or they serve us. Perhaps you’re imagining Data, Hal, or Rosie the Robot. Perhaps I just dated myself big time. But regardless of what you imagine the future will be, AI and Robots are here now. They’re cleaning our floors and driving our cars. They’re having conversations with us on Allo and other messengers. So strap in as we go Ex Machina for our milestone of a podcast.

Special Edition: The Get Together (Live in person with Special Guest Hayato Huseman)
10/7/2016
This is not what you expected but it might be what you want. It's all of the hosts and a special guest sitting together around a table with lots of pizza and even more beer podcasting together for the first time. The audio is bad...well it's worse because a lot of it is missing. :( But a lot of you who saw Hayato Periscope this requested what audio we did capture. Here it is and we hope you enjoy it.
