The SouthGeek Show 6: Seven Eight Nine?
Donovan and Oliver discuss Microsoft's technical preview release this week of Windows 10. What happened to Windows 9? Good question...one better left to scholars and technologists that really care. :)
Donovan provides his initial impressions of Windows 10 after he went through the process of installing it in a virtual machine under Hyper-V on his Windows 8.1 workstation. He states the start menu/start button is a welcome comeback, marrying the tile ideology that many people didn't like with Windows 8 and giving the people back their start button! Otherwise, he tells Oliver that he hopes the real juice is under the hood because the look and feel of Windows 10 is, well, pretty much like Windows 8. Nothing special here...move along.
Oliver sidetracks Donovan a bit when he asks him about Wirecast 5 which Donovan recently upgraded to from Wirecast 4. Donovan explains, for those that might not know, that Wirecast is video switching, encoding and streaming software, much like other software programs such as XSplit and Open Broadcaster, but more for the professional. XSplit and Open Broadcaster (OBS) are typically used to capture and stream video games to services like Twitch.tv.
Speaking of Twitch.tv, the duo discuss new policies at Twitch and Steam. Twitch partners must be transparent in so far if they are sponsored or paid by a video game company, hardware company, etc. Steam has introduced a similar policy.
When's the last time you saw much less used a payphone? Exactly. In England, those boxes are being put to good use - as solar powered charging stations for your cell phone. Nifty idea. Do we have any phone booths left in America to even do that with?
Donovan brings up the latest on the BadUSB malware issue, but Oliver plans to do more research on the issue and report back on the next show.
Lukewarm responses about social media network Ello.
They wrap up the show talking about their technology tips of the week. Oliver points to Vagrant and Donovan brings out the top 19 things you probably didn't know your iPhone could do.
