Summary: IT in the D, episode 46.<br> <br> Or "Season 2, Episode 2". Whatever. I'm still trying to figure out if I really want to go back, edit and rename all of the old episodes...<br> <br> We'll see how that goes.<br> <br> We had Julie from Simply Social Media in-studio as well as Jeremiah, Patrick and Nick from Daily Detroit.<br> <br> And when Daily Detroit's in the house...things are going to get a little weird...<br> <br> <br> <br> ...and get weird, they did...but we'll get to that in a moment.<br> <br> From watching World Cup soccer in a ball full of hipsters before the show to the PF Chang's hack and more, the opening segment was a good mix of topics as usual.<br> <br> In our second segment, we hopped in with Julie from Simply Social Media to chat about Facebook engagement, why we still don't understand Twitter and more.<br> <br> Segment three was all about the Daily Detroit guys...actually, it was mostly about Greedy Greg's barbecue and the social / political dynamics around businesses in downtown Detroit, where the funds are, who knows where the help is, and where the system is broken.<br> <br> ...which totally bled over into the fourth segment...<br> <br> ...and even triggered the start of an unprecedented fifth segment.<br> <br> So...yeah. Things got weird. And real. Really weird.<br> <br> But a great show as always, and you absolutely need to pay attention to this one to learn a little more about what's going on around the area.<br> <br> <br> <br> - You can find us at http://www.ITintheD.com, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ITinTheD, on Meetup at http://www.meetup.com/ITintheD/, and on Twitter at https://twitter.com/itinthed<br> <br> - Our next event is Thursday, June 19th over at The Daily Post (formerly the Post Bar) in Novi at 5pm http://www.itinthed.com/meet/<br> <br> - Simply Social Media is at http://www.simplysocialmediallc.com/<br> <br> - Daily Detroit is at http://dailydetroit.com/<br> <br> - Their story on Greedy Greg's is at http://www.dailydetroit.com/2014/06/10/greedy-gregs-is-the-best-bbq-youve-probably-never-had/<br> <br> ...and then the stories we discussed...or meant to discuss but didn't get to...those are all to be found...<br> - Tesla opens up patents - http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you, Nissan and BMW want to chat with them about universal standards http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2459554,00.asp<br> <br> - Expedia announces they'll accept Bitcoin http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27810008<br> <br> - which is awesome, given that one anonymous person controls 51% of it http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/06/bitcoin-security-guarantee-shattered-by-anonymous-miner-with-51-network-power/<br> <br> - ...and the US Marshall's office is about to auction off nearly 30,000 bitcoins (roughly $17.5 million worth) seized from Silk Road http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/us-to-auction-off-29656-bitcoins-seized-from-silk-road-worth-over-17-5m/<br> <br> - Feds to cops: "shut up about cell phone surveillance" https://news.yahoo.com/us-pushing-local-cops-stay-174613067.html;_ylt=AwrBJR4e65lTwmEAb7zQtDMD<br> <br> - The IRS uses the equivalent of "the dog ate my homework" http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2014/06/13/irs-lost-emails-by-official-in-tea-party-probe (data retention and we've all been through losing stuff before....)<br> <br> - PF Changs got hacked, has no idea what to do about it, and so they've got back to using old-school imprint machines for cards. http://www.securityweek.com/pf-changs-confirms-payment-card-breach-reverts-imprinting-devices<br> <br> - Lawsuit against Linkedin for spamming user's contacts rolls forward: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2363660/judge-lawsuit-over-linkedins-repeated-invitation-emails-can-proceed.html<br> <br>
