VFTQ 209 – Podcasting while on a legal high Dec 22, 2010

Whoa… Dude… This is like so… decongestany!

This episode of VFTQ is a 18 minute long ramble through the happenings of the past few days, in which I attempt to explain why the podcast feed, for a short while, was the Occam’s Barbershop feed, among many other things.

Remember: This show runs (mostly) on YOUR donations! If you like what you hear here and want more of the same, don’t donate to me, because I screwed up. Instead, go buy some sammiches and give them to poor people.

The TR Podcast 78: The GPUs pair up, avoiding RSIs, and a special sneak preview Dec 13, 2010

This episode starts with two listener mail questions: KJ has a follow-up question about AMD's Zacate accelerated processing unit, and Suspenders wonders if our hours and hours of computer usage ever result in repetitive strain injuries (RSIs). After going through the mail bag, Scott and Cyril discuss what TR version 3.0 means for the design and operation of our site. Geoff is up next with a roundup of 7,200-RPM laptop drives, which addresses value for money, performance, and capacity. Finally, Scott pairs up the latest GPUs, Geoff interviews Western Digital Program Manager Kevin Kalvert, and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 570 gets a quick and to-the-point evaluation from Damage Labs.

VFTQ 208 – Slapped with Science Dec 06, 2010

VFTQ should be downloaded at www.ViewFromTheQuad.com

This week on the show, we have a rather science-heavy topic load. Also, a bit of chat about TV up at the front. And I accidentally lied in the intro. Sorry about that!

Topics covered on the show include how NASA has found a new type of life (This Changes EVERYTHING!), some rather cool and scary sounding research the Chinese are doing and how Facebook are attempting to trademark the word Face. Online, at least. Also, a whole slew more!

VFTQ 207.5 – Occam’s Barbershop 006 Dec 02, 2010

So, I feel a little bit guilty about not giving you an episode of VFTQ this week, and that 40 second video doesn’t make me feel much better. So how about an episode of Occam’s Barbershop, my other podcast/radio show? Subscribe free at www.OccamsBarbershop.com to get every episode delivered to you free as we get them uploaded, or listen LIVE at www.DCUfm.com each Friday from 2PM to 3PM Irish time!

Occam’s Barbershop is a weekly program on DCUfm, which is podcasted here. New episodes are broadcast live from the heart of the DCU campus online at www.DCUfm.com on Fridays from 2PM until 3PM.

This week on the show, we talk to co-founder of Irish Skeptics in the Pub, Rebecca O’Neill, about the Pub-attending atheists, among many other deathly important matters, such as what sort of funeral she would like and whether she thinks Irish Education is out of place with it’s religion studies. She then foolishly agrees to take part in the now world-famous Occam’s Quiz, and makes a heroic effort to win the grand prize.

No VFTQ this week, instead have this Snowpocolypse video report. [Take 2] Nov 29, 2010

If you are having issues with the video downloading slowly in the flash player, please be aware that I am working on this with my content distribution network. It should download like the clappers if you simply download the file though.

Edit 2 – I have replaced the flash player with a HD YouTube player instead, until we get this sorted out.

No episode of View From the Quad this week because I’m tired out. Instead, have some front-of-the-line reporting on the snowpocolypse 2.0 from DCU! Filmed in iPhone 4 HD, a little bit shaky, but fun none-the-less.

Interesting fact: Every single thing about this video, other then the uploading, was done on the iPhone. Recording, editing, all done in iMovie on the iPhone. I’m rather impressed, myself!

The TR Podcast 77: iPhone Rage, special edition GPUs, and discrete audio Nov 28, 2010

We kick off this episode of the TR Podcast by discussing Netflix's internet-streaming-only plan, Scott's desire for an Ã la carte> TV world, and Jordan's record-breaking single DVD Netflix plan. We also look at the arrival of Rage on the iPhone, months before an actual console or PC release. We then delve into some good old-fashioned hardware discussion. Geoff and Cyril play tag-team with our next story: Nvidia has released the GeForce GTX 460 SE into the wild, and Cyril has the card's specs, while Geoff has the skinny on the benchmarking results. Speaking of benchmarks, Cyril goes on to bring us performance numbers from his excursion to Austin, where he got to test AMD's next-gen Brazos mobile platform and Zacate accelerated processing unit. We also take the time to explore AMD's mobile roadmap, detailing who will manufacture Zacate's successor. Later, Geoff gives us an in-depth look at two new Xonar sound cards from Asus. He details the hardware, our testing methods, the results, and declares a surprising (and very budget-friendly) favorite. Finally, Cyril gives us the low-down on BitFenix's new Survivor enclosure, explaining what excited and disappointed him in this this compact, LAN-party-friendly case.

VFTQ 207 – Nothing political at all, except cheese Nov 22, 2010

View From The Quad should be downloaded from www.ViewFromTheQuad.com and nowhere else, you scoundrel!

This week on View From The Quad, we have a rather packed show for you, including something that hasn’t been on the show in a fair while, rambling and story telling! (Not fiction, but still, we are getting there!)

In news stories, we cover how Facebook can trigger asthma attacks, how Richard Branson will serve as an air hostess (note ‘hostess’. I explain in the show.), I tell you how mad the TSA searchings are getting (in the show, I’m not quite sure what TSA stands for. Turns out TSA is a Polish hard rock and heavy metal band.), the single biggest threat to net neutrality, why you just can’t stop at a single slice of cheese, whether 4Chan may have finally met their match, and much more!

The TR Podcast 76: Black Ops, Brazos, and the GTX 580 Nov 15, 2010

This episode is all about gaming, graphics, and mobile computing. Jordan and Geoff kick things off with listener mail, with Geoff delivering some sound SSD advice to a listener and Jordan recommending his favorite iPhone earbuds. Then, as Call of Duty: Black Ops rocks the entertainment industry with a record $360-million release day, so does it rock the podcast, with Scott talking at length about his take on the new shooter. Cyril, who's back from AMD's Austin campus, chats with Scott about the ins and outs of AMD's new Brazos ultraportable platform. Scott goes on to give us a detailed rundown of the surprise release from Nvidia, the GeForce GTX 580. The podcast finishes with a whirlwind of other GPU news, including an overclocking report about the Radeon HD 6850 and GeForce GTX 460 and a look at the availability and pricing of AMD's new Radeons

Occam's Barbershop is a weekly program on DCUfm, which is podcasted here. New episodes are broadcast live from the heart of the DCU campus online at www.DCUfm.com on Fridays from 2PM until 3PM.

This week on the show, we start off with Occam's Razor Quiz (thanks to the wonderful hosts of Ying and Yang for playing along with our madness) and then move on to the stories, interrupted only by a half an hour-long technical fault with the live-stream, which has been conveniently edited out for your listening pleasure.

Our topics the week include how Global Warming won't kill us because God promised Noah, how heterosexual sex subjugates women, bin Laden's secret underground cave and the story of how a mom stuck up for her son who wanted to dress up as a girl for Halloween. Also on the show, Richard Dawkins reading out some of his own hate mail.

This week on View From The Quad, it’s halloween! I’m joined in-studio by Charlie, who has been on the show three times before, I believe. We discuss important issues such as the Rally for Restoring Sanity And/Or Fear, how Limewire has been handed a court injunction and how this effects the few pirates still using the service, how proof of water has been found on Mars, Spanish prostitutes, one of the more ridiculous Apple rumours either of us have heard and much more.

The TR Podcast 75: Gaming in the cloud, new Radeons, and the ultimate fan controller Oct 31, 2010

We've got a lot to discuss on this episode of the TR Podcast, starting with two listener mail questions. KJ wants to know how AMD's Zacate will stack up against Intel's Consumer Ultra-Low-Voltage offerings, while Chris asks if Geoff ever found a better MP3 player for swimming. Shortly thereafter, Scott reviews the newly rebooted Medal of Honor before getting into the meat of this episode: AMD's new Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 graphics cards. Scott gives us the skinny about the new Barts silicon, morphological AA, how these cards stack up against the Nvidia competition, and more. As we reach the tail end of this episode, Geoff brings up AMD's latest efforts in the domain of fan-speed controls, Cyril discusses Asus' dual-core, Ion-based Eee PC, and our editors all voice their thoughts on Apple's newâ€”and expensiveâ€”MacBook Air models

This week on VFTQ we cover a whole mine-load of topics, each one lovingly guided out of a small hole from over 2KM below the surface of the earth. I talk about the ongoing controversy in the Jailbreaking community, we have nutjob physicists, Valve announcing DOTA 2 and I explain why Airplane food tastes so terrible (that’s right, there is a scientific reason for it). I also catch up with Damien Mulley who organized the Irish Web Awards (along with doing a whole lot of other rather impressive stuff) and I brought my microphone along to the special VIP launch of the Science Gallery’s ‘Green Machines’ show. And, of course, so much more you wouldn’t believe it. I can’t.
