Justin and Andy Taylor talk a little about the workplace and what can change when an acquisition happens. The guys talk historically about some companies that have gone through buy outs and what has happened to them. One of those that have ridden the wave of change outs is Entrepreneur Mark Cuban. They talk about Audio-net, Broadcast.com and how it was sold to Yahoo, what happened over the years? Because of Andy’s love for food, he of course has to bring up Kenny Rogers Roasters, Where are they today and what does it have to do with Yahoo?

Justin and Andy talk about cutting the cord but still wanting to have Over the air television.

September 19 show…audio, notes, and links

The audio file of the show can be downloaded and streamed from here.

=====================

We talk to an Uber driver, and Justin explains how he uses Uber…without paying for it.

“…driving jobs for independent contractors in Tucson…work as much or as little as you want. Uber takes care of all the details…”

———————————–

Also, Uber is working with the UA College of Optical Sciences:

Brian McClendon, vice president of advanced technologies for Uber…”it’s clear that Arizona welcomes innovation.”

“…I look forward to working with Arizona…”

============================

iOS 9 has been released. Some got it (S!ick)…some didn’t (Andy)…and others don’t care (what’s-his-name/Justin).

————————————–

We learn that Apple uses end-to-end encryption in iMessage and FaceTime…

And in a related issue, Microsoft is resisting to comply with a warrant which orders it disclose contents of an email account…because the data is kept in a different country.

==================================

The cats of TechtalkRadio have new shirts for their “uniform”. And, so do cats.  (Again:  Justin’s fault.  Hey…I’m writing the post, I get to pick-on whom I choose to…)

================================

And here are some links related to subjects discussed during the show:

“…With Slingbox, you can watch live cable or satellite TV, video apps, recorded shows, and on demand shows on your phone, tablet, and computer. Anywhere in the world. Literally.”

“Tile is a tiny Bluetooth tracker and easy-to-use app that finds everyday items in seconds—like your phone, keys, and wallet.”

“Gazelle buys mostly Apple products, iPhones, iPads, iPods, Macbooks, Macs, select Apple TVs & Apple Displays. We also buy a select group of other smartphones and tablets like Samsung, Microsoft. LG and HTC to name a few…”
