Mario De'Cristofano's Podcast

This episode is the final for this season, and its a good one! We first catch up round the table, and hear about Kwasi's trip to Geneva, whereby he singlehandidly saved Greece from the Euro, and meanwhile, Julian let slip he is in fact, Batman.

On the topic table this week we talk about those bad dudes at Lulzsec who have been on some Hacking rampage whilst eating Jam Sarnies & drinking Iron Bru, and a young man in Essex has been jailed as the kingpin.

Other news includes how technology in sport is a good thing and actually augmented data is the future, and we talk of its applications.

Jules finishes with a look back of top trends over the last year and we give you a taster of more to come from Digibyte later in the year.

In this episode myself & Julian are alone in a dark studio whilst the Dark Knight tops up his tan in Geneva, fixing the Euro Crisis. So we talk about how Orange are trialling sound wave tech t-shirts at Glastonbury, and also some poor 17 year old from Derby who ran TVShack is facing extradtition to the US for illegal copyright infringement - too far? We leave you to decide. Speaking of too far, Jules gets a bit sweary shouty and tells us about some great new brand management & social tools from Vitrue and Mario delves deeper at Libertine London

We then move on to discuss Apple, oh the almightly Apple, and how they may restrict the use of their cameras at gigs and concernts, and Jules hits us up with Twitter's top trends It also appears we were on the money with the real world hashtag with Virgins latest social media foray with the #nerdbird.

In this episode, we touched on two really interesting articles. One from the Guardian, and are kids getting fatter, weaker and more incompetent? Lazy parents throwing children in front of consoles, or scared of Paedophiles and would prefer the inner sanctum of the living room!? We discuss. We then moved on with advertising, with Facebook becoming more relevant, & whether that's a good thing!? We then spoke about #Hashtags, and whether its changing the way we communicate both in writing & in emails? @Julianbdavis most recent 'off the wall' input, was how to bring hashtags, (not hash) into the real world get more of him at his website. @Kwasig discussed his 100% good time blog solution, bringing Fanbois into the discussion, @Julianbdavis is churning out quality articles in his blog, and we have a bit of fun, banter, the usual. Its' how we do! Where would we be, without Julians Top Trends, get that here.

The Old Spice advertising campaign was touched & how to develop apps-for-dummies using Buzztouch!

In this weeks episode, Kwas appeared like a theif in the Knight, a few minutes in as he was calling in from his remote location unbeknown to the public. We think he was in a cave but that didnt stop us from talking about the Apple Developer Conference this week in San Fran, Julian added some verbal dislcaimer to his thoughts on Facebook & Divorce, we did top trends the Dark Knight talked to us about app-economy.

Good stuff

In this episode we're pleased to welcome back the Dark Knight Mr @kwasig, and once we'd sorted out our blatantly racist microphone, we hit the first topic of the 'cloud' & actually, are we further into it than ever? Distributed computing confounded our poor King of Realtime whose Captain Scarlett references lost @mariodc, but we soon had him right on track with us highlighting Operating systems such as Linux in a browser, alongside 3d packages in a browser - geez, just what can't you do in one! IT departments get rid of PC's and opt for thin clients instead? possible!

We then moved into NFC and how the latest announcements from both T Mobile & 02 in regards to contactless payment systems, and how its potentially going to end up in a Smart Phone near you - is it really something youd use? What about the Hackers?!

The Real Time King went on to talk about how Social Media is stopping divorce, although I'd like to point out this article from the Telegraph along with the usual Top Trends and @maridc highlighted some of the top ten uses for RFID

This episode although without the Dark Knight of numbers, get's deep. Running in at 45 minutes dead, both myself and the King Of Realtime, discuss how social networking effects the human race, along with National security & whether its that serious. Losing CD's in pubs, pah!

Episode 4

This episode we'd trimmed down the fat, 45 minutes in length, 45 minutes of fun & tech talk, 45 minutes well spent. We want to thank our sponsors Server Centre & LM Business Services for sponsoring this episode.

We broke out the discussion on Facebook's smear campaign, and naughty tactics with regards to Google's Buzz V2, I mean....ahem....Social Circle. After that, we touched on amazing use & effect on photographs, from the recent Wembley giant tag campaign, to the Endeavour Shuttle launch, and how a picture really can speak a thousand words, and just as many followers. We couldnt avoid the fact Microsoft have aqquired Skype recentley, so we waxed lyrical about the future of that, along with how Apple's recent stock value overall, has increased and a little insight into some really interesting R&D I happen to know their doing.

Kwas is off to revise, (should we label him the 'Dark Knight of Numbers'? so its just me, and the King of Realtime for next week.

In this episode we discussed social media, and whether we're all getting nastier now we have a perceived anonymous channel to vent our bile, via the web. We discussed the recent attack on the Sony Playstation network, and we talked about Open Source.

In this episode we discuss how Social media covered two breaking news stories in the UK, both Osama Bin Laden's assasination by US Special Forces, and the Royal wedding.

We also talked about Spotify ceasing to be free from May 1st, and how Apple, for the first time in twenty years, succeeded Microsoft, in terms of profit

Two new presenters, three more exciting topics, social media, branding & security PLUS WE LOVE APPLE!

This episode is a QA session for some new posts on the IT forum
