OddIT - The BCS Podcast

Music technology part 2: interoperability, DRM and taste

OddIT music and technology special part 1: are we just being nostalgic, or have we lost something?

We may like robots but are we clever enough to make them? Will robots take over the world or will it be software? All this plus the most successful flying creature in history. It's the return of oddIT.

A soupcon of smartphone etiquette, a taster of the new Apple iPhone, a modicum of grannies with exoskeletons and a mouthful of a machine that tastes wine for you. Mix it all together and you get the highly digestible oddIT podcast.

Size zero robot models, thought controlled games, electronic magazine covers, Japanese iPhone peeping toms and don't use Bluetooth in Bath. For all this and more oddities download the latest episode of oddIT.

Film-based intruder scaring, astronaut mind-monitoring, games-enabled brainwashing and more hyphenated stories in oddIT 38.

Playing games with your mind, sat-nav for commercial drivers and solving the problems of cooling server farms and obesity in one stroke - it could only be oddIT episode 37.

In space no one can spell Google it seems and when you are floating in zero gravity it helps to know the name of the galaxy you are in. All this plus a wearable keyboard - it can only be oddIT.

You'll never have to cut your grass again, you don't need pots and pans and who needs a comprehensible watch? - it's the bizarre gadget episode.

Hard wiring real bugs, telepathic ray guns and heart-attacks-by-wire... it's an eclectic oddIT 34.

The ultimate gift for Prince Charles, shape-shifting phones and alien insignias - it's all in OddIT 33

This week we discuss Tom Cruise's traffic warden panache, educational excuses to doss about online and sensitive robots.

Back for 2008 the oddIT team learn how spammers are using feminine wiles to break CAPTCHAs, they investigate the snake that could be good for your heart and how electric cars could save us all money.
