TechnoBabble
TechnoBabble brings together two tech gurus and longtime friends to chat it up on everything technology-related. Joe Dugandzic has been friends with Bradly McComb for over ten years and they are always talking about the latest tech gadget, news story or how to do some impossible task and make it easy. Joe’s been in the IT world professionally for many years and Bradly has always been a savvy user of tech from as early as he can remember. The show is partially modeled after the other ‘big’ tech shows like Buzz Out Loud and Tech News Today, but we put our own QTalk Arizona spin on it and work to focus it local to our community whenever possible. The latest crazy tech news, trends, gadgets, Apple rumors and much more!

On this week’s show, Brad admits to having a ‘fanboy moment’ and running out to get the new iPad on Friday while Joe sticks with his iPad 2. We do actually manage to talk about non-iPad topics on the show, including talking about Windows 8 and the new Metro interface. Does it excite us? More importantly, does it excite you? Oh, and did you have Encyclopedia Britannica when you were growing up? Now it’s all-digital. All this and much more on this edition of TechnoBabble!

TechnoBabble #13: What lies beyond the iPad?
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 50:36 — 23.2MB)
On this episode, both “guys from the office” join us in-studio. We’ve just learned about the Apple ‘event’ in San Francisco scheduled for next week, and we’re assuming that it will be the iPad 3 that will be revealed. And, it will be the first product launch / keynote event since the death of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
But beyond just the news and the headlines, where are we really headed with all these portable devices? Technology is racing toward catching up to sci-fi movies, but where is it taking us as human beings? How will we interact with each other in the coming years? And is that interaction, or lack of it, taking away part of our humanity? We engage in a lively discussion on this very topic!
TechnoBabble #12: SOPA Be Gone!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 57:29 — 26.4MB)
On this edition of TechnoBabble, new QTalk Arizona production guy Patrick Gamble joins us as we talk about the latest tech headlines and rumors. We also engage in a lively discussion on SOPA/PIPA and Internet censorship. But also, we ask the question “how can the big copyright-holding media companies give us what we want so we can be legal?” Easy — make all content available via streaming or ‘cheap’ purchase!
Join us for this great episode — here’s helpful links to stories that we cover in the show. (more…)
