Ep: 931: Where you're tuned into the pumpkin spice channel
The official Steve Jobs biography commissioned by The Man himself dropped online and in stores today, and apparently the guy was kind of a jerk. Today we'll dive into some minibytes from the 656-page book that you may not have heard yet- details about Jobs' upbringing and relationship with his father, his obsession with Yo Yo Ma's cello, and how a Cuisinart inspired the first design of the Apple II.
Eric Franklin once again invades the Crave podcast and is more than happy to provide his opinion on how unrealistic our latest Lego obsession is. Jasmine, on the other hand, is utterly unimpressed with the DIY power laces that aim to mimic the sweet Nikes from "Back to the Future II." But the tone turns hopeful when we get to Donald's army of beer-o-matic robots, and we're all a little taken with two sweet keyboards that take two totally different tacks.
"Inside Tourette's Syndrome" clip
"Inside Tourette's Syndrome" provides an unsurpassed view into the disorder Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. The documentary features six individuals with TS and is produced by a person with Tourette's. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by unwanted movements and vocalizations called "tics." However, tics are merely the visible and audible manifestations of a complex and powerful force that cannot be witnessed by an observer. In this documentary, the inner symptoms of Tourette syndrome are revealed and openly discussed by people who experience them every day. How does it feel to tic? Why can't a person stop ticcing? What causes vocal outbursts and other extreme tics? Are motor and vocal tics truly involuntary? What is going on inside one's mind during obsessions and compulsions? These questions are answered in detail and much more is revealed about this mysterious disorder as six indivduals with TS take the audience far into the Tourettic mind.
The 404 Episode 547: Where objects in mirror are closer than they appear
On today's episode of The 404 Podcast, we discuss the future of video games and how students at the Imperial College in London are developing a pair of special glasses that allows players to control paddle movement using their eye movements! The new technology holds particular promise for people with physical disabilities that might soon get the chance to join the gaming community. The glasses are fitted with infrared light sensors and a webcam that links a laptop to the player's eyes, and although the hardware only costs $35 to make, the eye movement system itself costs around $36,000, so don't expect to control Modern Warfare with your eyes anytime soon.
