The ODDcast PODcast Appears on Another Podcast -
The Succotash Show Podcast was kind enough to play out a clip of our show. Hopefully their audience will listen and enjoy our random rambling about The Avengers, Rogue Foxes and what sound a Katana makes.
Take a Listen!

John Gruber jumps ship/Podcasting For Me Is a Hobby -
This is kind of a stunner. John Gruber has left Dan Benjamin’s 5by5 Network. Gruber and Benjamin has had the highly successful Talk Show podcast. I have been a regular listener. They made no announcement. Gruber has now taken the “Talk Show” to another network. The entire thing is kind of awkward as there was no announcement and they both seemed like close friends. Over at Fortune/CNN Money, Philip Elmer-DeWitt speculates that maybe they fought over money, like the the proceeds from the new 5By5 app, or the proceeds from Talk Show t-shirts.
I guess podcasting is serious business for these two.
For me, Lex at MacsFuture.com, podcasting is a fun hobby. You can hear my Apple podcast here and my iPad podcast here. The video version of both podcasts can be seen here on iTunes and here on YouTube and here on Blip.tv.

The dawning of the age of mobile.. -
Computing on the Internet is moving into the dawn of a new era, one where the device is not important the content is..
I heard a great quote this week “Google and Facebook are fighting the battle of the last decade” and this is very true, in respect of the evolution of the Internet both companies are web 2.0 companies, embracing social media and the desktop Internet. The parallels can be drawn with Microsoft in the end of the 90s who were fighting the battle of the desktop is and desktop applications with Apple, if we look back now the whole thing seems very irrelevant, a vast majority of what we do is online and we don’t really care so much about The so we are using because the applications we use and the ones which succeed are generally platform agnostic.

Jim Cloudman: John Gruber's Talk Show leaves 5by5 -
This is a big deal because The Talk Show was the podcast that forever changed 5by5. Prior to The Talk Show, 5by5 was characterized by shows like the Expression Engine podcast, The Pipeline and The Dev Show - podcasts that were almost entirely educational in nature. The Talk Show changed the…
Why Did John Gruber’s Talk Show Leave 5by5?
I’ve personally never listened to their podcast, but they seemed very nice. Did an interview about being a Cast Member, and going to Star Wars Weekends
It was actually a pretty fun interview. I’d love to be able to be on their show sometime.
FCC report marks Google low - “The lone engineer who was blamed by Google for its most controversial breach of online privacy told others in the company far more about the affair than Google has previously disclosed…”

Ready to swap that diamond for a finger-mounted camera with a built-in trigger and Bluetooth connectivity? If it could help identify otherwise indistinguishable objects, you might just consider it. TheMIT Media Lab’s EyeRing project was designed with an assistive focus in mind, helping visually disabled persons read signs or identify currency, for example, while also serving to assist children during the tedious process of learning to read. Instead of hunting for a grownup to translate text into speech, a young student could direct EyeRing at words on a page, hit the shutter release, and receive a verbal response from a Bluetooth-connected device, such as a smartphone or tablet. EyeRing could be useful for other individuals as well, serving as an ever-ready imaging device that enables you to capture pictures or documents with ease, transmitting them automatically to a smartphone, then on to a media sharing site or a server.
We peeked at EyeRing during our visit to the MIT Media Lab this week, and while the device is buggy at best in its current state, we can definitely see how it could fit into the lives of people unable to read posted signs, text on a page or the monetary value of a currency note. We had an opportunity to see several iterations of the device, which has come quite a long way in recent months, as you’ll notice in the gallery below. The demo, which like many at the Lab includes a Samsung Epic 4G, transmits images from the ring to the smartphone, where text is highlighted and read aloud using a custom app. Snapping the text “ring,” it took a dozen or so attempts before the rig correctly read the word aloud, but considering that we’ve seen much more accurate OCR implementations, it’s reasonable to expect a more advanced version of the software to make its way out once the hardware is a bit more polished — at this stage, EyeRing is more about the device itself, which had some issues of its own maintaining a link to the phone. You can get a feel for how the whole package works in the video after the break, which required quite a few takes before we were able to capture an accurate reading.
