The Blog for the TechtalkRadio Show
Periscope, Rdio, Wurrly, the Samsung Galaxy 6 edge+, and the Samsung Galaxy Note5 were discussed on a television segment with Andy. (And he didn’t even say “Hi” to me…)
When he wasn’t looking, I was able to use the phones…enjoyed watching live streaming videos…made some long distance calls (that I never paid for)…took some “selfies” (that I hope my mother never finds out about)…
The TechtalkRadio TechBlast for 09/24/2015 – iOS 9 is updated to 9.0.1, GoPro puts it in the air, Office 2016 – Do you have it already? And the Battle of the Carriers – How Low can you go?

=====================
We talk to an Uber driver, and Justin explains how he uses Uber…without paying for it.
———————————–
Also, Uber is working with the UA College of Optical Sciences:
“…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:
Yahoo Livetext is live video texting, without sound…
Andy has been bugging me…(this time) about using Periscope.
In one of the posts on our blog I stated I was waiting for something to be done by personnel at Periscope. It was to change my username. You can now follow me at “Slick1”.
My thanks to the “Periscope people” (Nader/Jamie/all) for being nice to look into the issue for me. Some of our conversations is posted below…

Dear Periscope Team,
I assumed I would be allowed to use my Twitter name with Periscope…
Is there any possibility I can request to have “slick” assigned to me?

Hi…
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to change your username because it was already taken. Do you have another in mind? Let us know!
Happy Scoping,
