Tang, Sputnik and Audio Nerdvana
Friday, October 5th, 2007 running time 30:31
50th Anniversary of Space Exploration. Tang is not for cleaning dishwashers. Network Music Players: The $2000 Transport plus two options that won't break the bank. Sputnik and Science Education. Airfoil makes the Airport Express run audio from anywhere.
It's the 50th Anniverary of the launch of Sputnik, which makes it the 50th anniversary of space exploration. Can you imagine what it was like to listen to Sputnik as it passed overhead? We're talking about a serious rush of technology, and it's not just Teflon and Tang.
$2000 for a network music player? Yes, Slim Device's Transporter is expensive. It also sounds amazing, and has a ... delightful ... interface. Don't bother if you don't have an amazing stereo system and lossless audio files.
If you like the audio of a network audio player, Slim Device's Squeezebox has some excellent audio for $299. You'll have to mail order the Squeezebox, but you can find Roku's SoundBridge in stores everywhere. It's also cheap, $149, but some folks have some issues with the audio it pumps out.
We got a little excited about having Tang on the show: what better bevvie to toast space exploration? Tang took off when NASA began using it on Gemini flights in 1959. We've got some drink recipes for you. They should definitely be mixed with a Titanium Spork.
Space and science education go hand in hand, so we took a road trip to the Exploratorium, an amazing hands on science museum here in San Francisco, and chatted Dr. Dennis Bartels about science education, how it was pushed forward by scientists after WW II, and how Sputnik pushed it to new heights. Then we get hands on in the museum.
Looking for some serious expertise on getting the most out of your audio files? From lossy to lossless, fights over formats and tips on compression settings, the forums at HydrogenAudio.org have a ton of information to help you get the most out of your digital music.
The downside to Apple's Airport Express isn't that it's a music player and a print server and a WiFi extender. No... it's that Apple designed it only to work with iTunes. Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil fixes that, so you can run audio out from any application on your Mac or PC. It also lets you run audio to more than one Airport Express at the same time. Cool!

" Sometimes you're saying I wished upon us it's entirely possible I'm -- ensues."
" So what what did they. You know what if you're curious emails Tekzilla revision3.com. Animal tale about."
" Yeah. That's on the map for all new music."
" So -- I've -- a little bit of fun in this case we have a little bit of expensive fun we had a chance to take a look at -- devices transport. And which is day. It is a network music player network music device the idea that you have. This which is somewhere in your house far far away from the server will all of your music so for example -- basically 600 CDs -- lot of space it's the small apartment so ripping everything in the lack of lost audio compression. Putting on a server and then we have access to live anywhere in the computers or any of the networked audio players -- seen as I think this is like -- yeah I -- jukebox yes and this is they are enormous and expensive jukebox is beating it this this is actually -- the covers stereo while magazine while it's. It should be for them from the money you're looking at. It sat back and we'll just get his right it don't Kazaa and don't don't stop because we've got a couple more reasonably bright -- this but this is."
" 2000 dollars to. This -- for some people 2000 dollars is like pocket change they like when he grant out of the speakers -- is not us but when -- he's even money about this is actually the interface was kind of do because they have the big conceded except these meters over here. -- that the ability -- want to be like browse my music and turn the knob there. You feel that -- click -- cookies across the volume button over there volume now turn the -- again. It's not only now seeing now is that it's Super Bowl not only do you get an amazing collection light in the bad -- actually can't make me 4396. -- if you have that kind of time look that up as a multi -- part. -- Embarrass yourself what you. If you are gonna buy it and you run like a hard when he bit -- it downloads from 1997. You have more money than that which respect is I've always wanted to live that lifestyle but I mean we're talking about a high end device here is that they we should look at. If you actually use it as an external back in the optical or or a rigorous bit if inputs if you have a camera on it describe it is not -- off. What in fact some sites of packets and digital analog converter and essentially this entire box is it to act that allows you that also has software built on the largest reach out over the Internet -- the files or should say your home network via its pullback about when it converts and from the digital format into an analogue format that your. Pre amplifier or amplifier or whatever you're plugging."
" Put this in this case you know I've taken a 2000 dollar audio device connected to a set of four dollar iPod speakers right. It sounds a lot better I get you know at some nicer stuff home we tested this with but basically you can use it as -- external -- You know balanced outputs if you have you know you have a growing amplifier can you rule like that. It's pretty slick it's a really nice piece of hardware and it's probably much more money anybody does that mean it -- fourteen -- and what our options for now average well -- that's -- been -- for a long time -- started -- literally kind of a couple of -- that it's able and they called the squeeze box which is very yeah -- very block -- network device and back in the day it was it was pretty -- That has actually this current squeeze box but -- has a -- interface nice remote control. Pretty good article one of the better actually when the better analog outputs on it is a lot of people. -- Google is you know if audio file. -- of these squeezed. The falls down if they compared to a 2000 dollar digital analogue converter with Iran and listeners. For 99% of the people listening to this. Yet in the remember Brownback is him when he's inside the iPod audio quality excellence not the same ones that yet by the same brand. And it sounds are gonna saints have really become through my stereo especially for your start with lossless files. When you're gonna find everywhere pretty much it stores all over -- United States and probably across the world is from Rogue who calls sound bridge. Sells for 149 bucks it sells for nothing yeah it's super cheap and to grant -- Or we would've had to 99 write the -- I am granted 99. -- all these have in common is they'll offer digital output if you've got the high dollar digital analog converter or you particularly like the you know your receiver -- receiver unit -- that'd that'd. We'll put on that. But the -- to. Low price excellent screen and decent interface sound quality nodded not my favorite. Some. Mania I don't like it as much. It does -- if I was going to go into audio review of remark and Warner's page so right but it. -- it sounds you know you gotta keep stereo it's gonna sound fine idea 150 bucks burning your pocket you know in the store in its not a bad thing to pick up. It's one of the advantage it has over the sound bridge is is that folks who broke who worked really hard to make sure it's compatible with just about every. When there's an audio service selling songs out there so you know Napster. Wal-Mart pretty much everything else. It's not. Bad and -- remote for any of these because this one has controls on the -- all these of those -- would talk about no controls -- remote control you -- a bad position still cameras -- your -- you aren't able if you have a computer nearby basically you you can use the servers and a playlist out -- songs and stuff. You know with the transport you've got all the controls on the front -- the other -- yet you're gonna be running. Server over the web if you lose --"
" So much --"
" I'm so sorry. There's so much fun amber I apologize for your information it's even worse we got a 99 dollar partly. --"
" Coming up what you just let it inside the case and come back."
" Sponsoring this episode of Tekzilla is Netflix to be like hi -- can get both feet deep and get a free trial by signing up as I sat up -- for us and netflix.com. Slash -- that. All --"
" being discussed in the fiftieth anniversary of space exploration and that's why Patrick went down to explore orient to talk with doctor Dennis Barr tells the executive director about the impact that it had on education because."
" Looking best job the world that's tonight in the might -- that the best thing about -- possibly -- and leave this point. I knew there was some argued exploratory in the after the dot com went down -- final -- still have one of the most amazing collection hands on interactive exhibits. I think anywhere in the world all right you know at. It was the brainchild -- Oppenheim many -- younger brother Robert Oppenheimer. And he just felt that at our schools and in light back in the 1960s just like teaching science in a way that. Reminded everybody that it took her there the board to understand this stuff and Nashville around them and he wanted to create a place for everybody has in mind that that. Everybody's people about that affect deserves -- it understands science and technology what it means our lives. So if you if you take a step back Oppenheimer's in -- Manhattan project there was a huge list of scientists wouldn't you engineers and yeah it came out of world won't do this huge. Push sporting technological and music -- handled and what technological Tora Bora just. And they can animate trying to change education how did that the on the species launches but."
" Everybody points to that is huge benchmark 195750. Years ago. Today the funny thing it's a lot of people have their minds that was the movement just to meet what scientists think the brightest kids that movement of scientists and engineers to be that question. In truth of the matter is it didn't start it started with a lot of the scientists from the Manhattan project it's coming -- project. A lot of scientists in the radiation lab MIT and -- really thought that what they really need it now after they finished the secrets of the data they needed it and Hamlet project education. They really wanted to -- figure out we can solve these problems and education and science really lively -- kids. It's of these guys like Jerrold Zacharias. Frank -- export plan a lot of other eminent physicists. Dedicated their rights to education and as it's happening of course but -- ever heard. And went sputnik. What of course happens the federal government got -- merit but money and I don't want to ridiculous. One gentleman don't want to go to loosely by the light of Russian -- go right right field dateline and that but in -- part about it is it that these guys at their heart. At that time science -- taught elementary -- middle school. And only a few hits that it's nice. And actually declared in 1960 life sciences for all and what you think it's really wanted to see science. The first rate all related and -- the careers and not make scientist but -- make science literate or democracy. To the world would never see a Hitler or Stalin personal. How were ultimately. -- quest. Civilians a true democracy and science and absolutely they really believe dissident in this day and -- that sort of scientific literacy democracy had to go hand in hand -- the worst thing about. Democracy can do is just -- science and enhance scientists to politicians. Everybody needs to know this stuff. -- levels of it. I don't know anything else but there's always another question to ask that luckily. Scientific claim our personal claim more political plane. Boy she asked the next question is -- the question to ask again. I never take anybody's word at least if you look around the export it's very you know I think I think here we're just -- it's very hands on Apple recently announced -- that a reflection. Of Oppenheimer is sort of bit his new style of science Betsy -- at the turn of the last century there are two types of businesses -- that what -- called a -- physicists -- it on your formal stuff on -- or. And it always be that Pacific BC businesses whose job it was frankly to disprove these nuts resentment is classes of Princeton trying to prove it's your stuff. It's a there's a reason -- built the first nuclear reactor underneath the stadium -- Chicago Africa in the Arctic want to together. Any any material thing anybody could get it -- they could prove or disprove these guys right now I'm and his brother to. Absolutely came out of you know let's see if we can -- as writer want it to the place started with a workshop. That started -- All these exhibits that this is the only thing steam room. Everything -- here was invented here the idea was created here and everything you see if they'll let me. It was the first of its kindness now that 600. Just like -- signs around the world. What about in terms of of helping improve science education locally especially. That's the that's why the big differences about this place in the beginning a lot of museums and about 80% of educational resources and kids like and you'll. Was very smart he didn't have quite early that boy I can have thousands school kids come here -- by hand but if I put most of my research and resources and teach. I can't even get a hundred teachers in -- hundred hours of Summers -- that's it that's. Tens of thousands of kids after the years ago. He actually started teacher education as fundamental part of this place how to help schools and how to help others because you really believe that. That the 1960s here teaching science much to formally this mysterious black box it up again. And again -- that -- we're we're on the curiosity I figured out the world trying to. That it -- things -- to talk back to try something That's Hollywood minute and apparently because I department program this got to react now we know how to manage."
" Your world and that's beginning of the scientific samples and for people -- forgot it. He wanted to -- that he remembered it again and we never feel like science -- was inaccessible to them and couldn't do this themselves. Com and and and that recently started a whole movement and he wanted it revolutionized museums as much as you want -- revolution -- schools. Let's just and if they wouldn't have thought. It's. Here it is needed for the benefit of free floating. Whether it might. Palisades -- I think being blown down but it's also I've seen for newly on the exhibit -- Now I know you're just gonna be okay right for the right. Exactly yeah yeah."
" Oh there."
" No I'm literally -- moving so fast."
" Pretty low pressure and high pressure underneath."
" Airport express that."
" It's caught the obvious technology enthusiast resource and had a heart hydrogen audience a collection of people that -- serious about getting the best quality possible out of good idea. They read this means testing can compare audio formats and talk about Psycho acoustics and have maps and amazing what they're not making it. Audience. Looking at -- digital audio files and that's floppy -- lossless. This thanks. Big."
" Thanks to godaddy reaching out sponsoring Tekzilla will make an impact on line you would godaddy.com. Dot com names as -- what -- on a lesson fast and easy web site builders and much more. And -- five. K five when you check out and save an additional ten dollars off any order of forty dollars or more."
" Kelly promised in 99 dollar network audio player earlier in the show and I'm here to deliver with a twist first of all I gotta be honest if there's no remote control and there's no screen on Apple's airport express is 99 dollars. Has remote control because you basically running from iTunes on video us -- PC in your house does a pretty good job. It's cuts analog audio out digital audio out of by the way it makes it great print server -- using one for that for a long time what's interesting though is the idea that Apple as Apple's want to do is credited only -- the Apple airport express audio off of iTunes and bite me get a better way to do thank the folks at Rogue -- and a piece of software called -- well it's not three point five dollars. But does some really cool stuff and Apple's airport express check this out I load up -- foil on the machine I select one or multiple airport express adapters and I do something first off I -- can't do. Stream to multiple airport express devices simultaneously. Apple doesn't like to do that and iTunes I can basically select multiple applications well I can't like multiple applications of but I can choose just that any application that can play audio. Running on my machine. And send the audio from that -- your airport express what's that mean no more being locked in iTunes to use an airport express the -- music around your house. That's really cool this is nice piece of software it's cuts and other tweaks inside of Iraq regularly and you right now but you should definitely check it out if you're looking for inexpensive way to push music hall around your house. Rogue -- air -- 25 bucks now. Something pigs going on with Marty."
" That's right Marty why this announcement sandlot day. Well just -- before I get to the big announcement I should probably make another and a smaller announcement. Lest I gear and I went pretty serious tang and anger a -- here at the office. And we drank all your tang and I just remember this -- replaced it with Orangemen have useful. So that would probably explain where Patrick ran -- Sorry about that mean well the lining of the big. -- Is that -- luncheon in -- now October 9. 7 PM eastern right here on Revision 3 its Web Drifter."
" How do you believe it I mean we want we want more Martin."
" It's. The Web Drifter I don't know if of course he -- are basically I've been surfing the Internet and doing little. Slit administration basically. And then one -- today I finished. My wife was born outside their I was I was rudderless I didn't know where to go I like yeah. I like your only after you finish the final -- potter now we are proud to present it. So I decided that when I do to give my elect purpose again was the retraced my steps -- this not just -- this time I would do it real I would go to the physical -- of every website -- Internet all eight trillion album. And go behind the website actually is that people with my camera crew and that's how Web Drifter was more. That's right yes. What's up well this clip here. This is from the first one's gonna debut on October night this one we web -- behind this site church of Tom Jones -- I didn't and this is for real this real -- regardless bounded by a guy named after Jack -- pastor jacks to all -- can heal -- exorcise the -- Using music of Tom Jones and had the opportunity to go visit him or towns Sacramento. Where he was doing a little past -- And here's little."
" Yeah I actually. Yeah yeah did you like it doesn't it behind him and bought it and yeah I can't doesn't give -- that -- yeah. They'll all let me tell you about that I'm not. I didn't know what -- and yeah -- and then had."
" Meet me years. Why. Did it in his power. I know weird. To be sitting next to me now that the demons of failure. As an actor -- like little you -- that you secure. And."
" It's like that you get. The idea --"
" Yeah a lot and earn their heart really thanks."
" Thanks the Tom Jones but let me just say that was the first when you're gonna impact overnight but honestly it's probably the most mild he's seen. Of all the twenty episodes that we've shot for this news is and I mean we visit UFO cults. We visit I thinks -- and I go bigfoot hunting. I go ghost on it even does this is medical planet pulpit open the redwoods where people who have hospital federations go hospital and medical -- back town people or in the like the medical scenes actually. I think I spent like 45 minutes that you -- with a fine leather do -- mass in his strange I can get federal and I understood how -- could be here. That's it censored a driver or if that's that would change -- in fundamental element of the ways. No 100 pounds and can bring. I better go I immediately. We -- bigger -- to visit Web Drifter premieres October ninth 7 PM eastern right here Revision 3 also please what my talks still infected. That comes out every Thursday your -- All. --"
" The room. Hey pat day and here we got some viewer."
" Now we have this -- a viewer emails first -- Denver. Is he mailing list from Georgia got a minute want to get your input on the MacBook pro but much like this you -- for PC user. Like the whole virtual machine concept and wants to know we any reason he shouldn't move to a Mac. Europe and MacBook pro."
" I knew a lot a lot of people. Might the farmers are. If only I always get slammed for being just like -- Mac and honestly see nothing wrong with -- and I think it's me you're not wrong and liking things work. Okay people so I eggs -- what -- with Vedeno. Which switching."
" That you know the disappearing now in the slows soft crash when that members of the show back up that. But that was an an Austin thing. I say that because I thought I was salute Mac Nazi held at 5 am and I'm actually back using Macs in but there they're not there there. Who's so good but they have the moment it. -- into categories. It. The Mac what I actually prefer the MacBook and MacBook pro -- game you know it's hot ticket so. But yeah. And if you run virtual machines at Denver's definitely interested in. Having the maximum memory capacity is a huge help you run multiple operating systems simultaneously -- incredible amounts of memory it all of the memory nature of the alt. That's exam Jim is -- wage hike Wally topographic maps and GPS for hiking my garment like most brands only comes and severely limited to -- maps. So it difficult I -- topographic map."
" Now I just I go hiking and I really rare and not and that person that's -- the years I years ago hiking these days there's a trailer all the -- that I -- but it's very happy in the dog chases -- and everybody's good."
" people lot of people want to get out there and go and he and I can't and you know not get totally lost I didn't."
" Paranoid about going if if I'm going to the middle of nowhere but whether it's in my truck -- hiking I bring people maps for the area -- paper Google maps along with. It's really hard generally speaking. I don't think there's any highrise. Took a maps available for the -- I've seen -- for the the -- the war has an excellent. Personally if you're if you want to print out maps form as an exclusive to graphic map to -- excellent hand held device that would Magellan recently did some pretty took graphic maps unfortunately neither one of those are your existing government hand held at. So if -- get some tips on how to get better total mass of our hand held email us at Tekzilla at Revision 3."
" And then we also want one. Source. How should we put it. Restoration and oh --"
" For people. We would like to remind you this is the temporary said -- and constructed tools -- our studio builders this and it which way -- magnificent professional designs definitely you sound. And but now you're gonna have to do -- are pretty faces. Or at least corporate and we're gonna figure we're gonna play around this but right now we're sort of trying to do the content work out the show in the being in the website. That's Gephardt if only it. --"
" And just pick carbon thank you -- during -- on Tekzilla. Except. I don't forget that. --"
" I'd say something much more steep but it's not a huge new willows the B two did that. Yeah yeah. Patrick went down to discuss the impact. Sent -- and that's why Patrick went down to discuss. It's called audio technology."
" And welcome you -- at. Don't you. If you. Know that's just that's."

It is a network music player network music device the idea that you have. This which is somewhere in your house far far away from the server will all of your music so for example -- basically 600 CDs -- lot of space it's the small apartment so ripping everything in the lack of lost audio compression. Putting on a server and then we have access to live anywhere in the computers or any of the networked audio players -- seen as I think this is like -- yeah I -- jukebox yes and this is they are enormous and expensive jukebox is beating it this this is actually -- the covers stereo while magazine while it's. It should be for them from the money you're looking at. It sat back and we'll just get his right it don't Kazaa and don't don't stop because we've got a couple more reasonably bright -- this but this is."
" 2000 dollars to. This -- for some people 2000 dollars is like pocket change they like when he grant out of the speakers -- is not us but when -- he's even money about this is actually the interface was kind of do because they have the big conceded except these meters over here. -- that the ability -- want to be like browse my music and turn the knob there. You feel that -- click -- cookies across the volume button over there volume now turn the -- again. It's not only now seeing now is that it's Super Bowl not only do you get an amazing collection light in the bad -- actually can't make me 4396. -- if you have that kind of time look that up as a multi -- part. -- Embarrass yourself what you. If you are gonna buy it and you run like a hard when he bit -- it downloads from 1997. You have more money than that which respect is I've always wanted to live that lifestyle but I mean we're talking about a high end device here is that they we should look at. If you actually use it as an external back in the optical or or a rigorous bit if inputs if you have a camera on it describe it is not -- off. What in fact some sites of packets and digital analog converter and essentially this entire box is it to act that allows you that also has software built on the largest reach out over the Internet -- the files or should say your home network via its pullback about when it converts and from the digital format into an analogue format that your. Pre amplifier or amplifier or whatever you're plugging."
" Put this in this case you know I've taken a 2000 dollar audio device connected to a set of four dollar iPod speakers right. It sounds a lot better I get you know at some nicer stuff home we tested this with but basically you can use it as -- external -- You know balanced outputs if you have you know you have a growing amplifier can you rule like that. It's pretty slick it's a really nice piece of hardware and it's probably much more money anybody does that mean it -- fourteen -- and what our options for now average well -- that's -- been -- for a long time -- started -- literally kind of a couple of -- that it's able and they called the squeeze box which is very yeah -- very block -- network device and back in the day it was it was pretty -- That has actually this current squeeze box but -- has a -- interface nice remote control. Pretty good article one of the better actually when the better analog outputs on it is a lot of people. -- Google is you know if audio file. -- of these squeezed. The falls down if they compared to a 2000 dollar digital analogue converter with Iran and listeners. For 99% of the people listening to this. Yet in the remember Brownback is him when he's inside the iPod audio quality excellence not the same ones that yet by the same brand. And it sounds are gonna saints have really become through my stereo especially for your start with lossless files. When you're gonna find everywhere pretty much it stores all over -- United States and probably across the world is from Rogue who calls sound bridge. Sells for 149 bucks it sells for nothing yeah it's super cheap and to grant -- Or we would've had to 99 write the -- I am granted 99. -- all these have in common is they'll offer digital output if you've got the high dollar digital analog converter or you particularly like the you know your receiver -- receiver unit -- that'd that'd. We'll put on that. But the -- to. Low price excellent screen and decent interface sound quality nodded not my favorite. Some. Mania I don't like it as much. It does -- if I was going to go into audio review of remark and Warner's page so right but it. -- it sounds you know you gotta keep stereo it's gonna sound fine idea 150 bucks burning your pocket you know in the store in its not a bad thing to pick up. It's one of the advantage it has over the sound bridge is is that folks who broke who worked really hard to make sure it's compatible with just about every. When there's an audio service selling songs out there so you know Napster. Wal-Mart pretty much everything else. It's not. Bad and -- remote for any of these because this one has controls on the -- all these of those -- would talk about no controls -- remote control you -- a bad position still cameras -- your -- you aren't able if you have a computer nearby basically you you can use the servers and a playlist out -- songs and stuff. You know with the transport you've got all the controls on the front -- the other -- yet you're gonna be running. Server over the web if you lose --"
" So much --"
" I'm so sorry. There's so much fun amber I apologize for your information it's even worse we got a 99 dollar partly. --"
" Coming up what you just let it inside the case and come back."
" Sponsoring this episode of Tekzilla is Netflix to be like hi -- can get both feet deep and get a free trial by signing up as I sat up -- for us and netflix.com. Slash -- that. All --"
" being discussed in the fiftieth anniversary of space exploration and that's why Patrick went down to explore orient to talk with doctor Dennis Barr tells the executive director about the impact that it had on education because."
" Looking best job the world that's tonight in the might -- that the best thing about -- possibly -- and leave this point. I knew there was some argued exploratory in the after the dot com went down -- final -- still have one of the most amazing collection hands on interactive exhibits. I think anywhere in the world all right you know at. It was the brainchild -- Oppenheim many -- younger brother Robert Oppenheimer. And he just felt that at our schools and in light back in the 1960s just like teaching science in a way that. Reminded everybody that it took her there the board to understand this stuff and Nashville around them and he wanted to create a place for everybody has in mind that that. Everybody's people about that affect deserves -- it understands science and technology what it means our lives. So if you if you take a step back Oppenheimer's in -- Manhattan project there was a huge list of scientists wouldn't you engineers and yeah it came out of world won't do this huge. Push sporting technological and music -- handled and what technological Tora Bora just. And they can animate trying to change education how did that the on the species launches but."
" Everybody points to that is huge benchmark 195750. Years ago. Today the funny thing it's a lot of people have their minds that was the movement just to meet what scientists think the brightest kids that movement of scientists and engineers to be that question. In truth of the matter is it didn't start it started with a lot of the scientists from the Manhattan project it's coming -- project. A lot of scientists in the radiation lab MIT and -- really thought that what they really need it now after they finished the secrets of the data they needed it and Hamlet project education. They really wanted to -- figure out we can solve these problems and education and science really lively -- kids. It's of these guys like Jerrold Zacharias. Frank -- export plan a lot of other eminent physicists. Dedicated their rights to education and as it's happening of course but -- ever heard. And went sputnik. What of course happens the federal government got -- merit but money and I don't want to ridiculous. One gentleman don't want to go to loosely by the light of Russian -- go right right field dateline and that but in -- part about it is it that these guys at their heart. At that time science -- taught elementary -- middle school. And only a few hits that it's nice. And actually declared in 1960 life sciences for all and what you think it's really wanted to see science. The first rate all related and -- the careers and not make scientist but -- make science literate or democracy. To the world would never see a Hitler or Stalin personal. How were ultimately. -- quest. Civilians a true democracy and science and absolutely they really believe dissident in this day and -- that sort of scientific literacy democracy had to go hand in hand -- the worst thing about. Democracy can do is just -- science and enhance scientists to politicians. Everybody needs to know this stuff. -- levels of it. I don't know anything else but there's always another question to ask that luckily. Scientific claim our personal claim more political plane. Boy she asked the next question is -- the question to ask again. I never take anybody's word at least if you look around the export it's very you know I think I think here we're just -- it's very hands on Apple recently announced -- that a reflection. Of Oppenheimer is sort of bit his new style of science Betsy -- at the turn of the last century there are two types of businesses -- that what -- called a -- physicists -- it on your formal stuff on -- or. And it always be that Pacific BC businesses whose job it was frankly to disprove these nuts resentment is classes of Princeton trying to prove it's your stuff. It's a there's a reason -- built the first nuclear reactor underneath the stadium -- Chicago Africa in the Arctic want to together. Any any material thing anybody could get it -- they could prove or disprove these guys right now I'm and his brother to. Absolutely came out of you know let's see if we can -- as writer want it to the place started with a workshop. That started -- All these exhibits that this is the only thing steam room. Everything -- here was invented here the idea was created here and everything you see if they'll let me. It was the first of its kindness now that 600. Just like -- signs around the world. What about in terms of of helping improve science education locally especially. That's the that's why the big differences about this place in the beginning a lot of museums and about 80% of educational resources and kids like and you'll. Was very smart he didn't have quite early that boy I can have thousands school kids come here -- by hand but if I put most of my research and resources and teach. I can't even get a hundred teachers in -- hundred hours of Summers -- that's it that's. Tens of thousands of kids after the years ago. He actually started teacher education as fundamental part of this place how to help schools and how to help others because you really believe that. That the 1960s here teaching science much to formally this mysterious black box it up again. And again -- that -- we're we're on the curiosity I figured out the world trying to. That it -- things -- to talk back to try something That's Hollywood minute and apparently because I department program this got to react now we know how to manage."
" Your world and that's beginning of the scientific samples and for people -- forgot it. He wanted to -- that he remembered it again and we never feel like science -- was inaccessible to them and couldn't do this themselves. Com and and and that recently started a whole movement and he wanted it revolutionized museums as much as you want -- revolution -- schools. Let's just and if they wouldn't have thought. It's. Here it is needed for the benefit of free floating. Whether it might. Palisades -- I think being blown down but it's also I've seen for newly on the exhibit -- Now I know you're just gonna be okay right for the right. Exactly yeah yeah."
" Oh there."
" No I'm literally -- moving so fast."
" Pretty low pressure and high pressure underneath."
" Airport express that."
" It's caught the obvious technology enthusiast resource and had a heart hydrogen audience a collection of people that -- serious about getting the best quality possible out of good idea. They read this means testing can compare audio formats and talk about Psycho acoustics and have maps and amazing what they're not making it. Audience. Looking at -- digital audio files and that's floppy -- lossless. This thanks. Big."
" Thanks to godaddy reaching out sponsoring Tekzilla will make an impact on line you would godaddy.com. Dot com names as -- what -- on a lesson fast and easy web site builders and much more. And -- five. K five when you check out and save an additional ten dollars off any order of forty dollars or more."
" Kelly promised in 99 dollar network audio player earlier in the show and I'm here to deliver with a twist first of all I gotta be honest if there's no remote control and there's no screen on Apple's airport express is 99 dollars. Has remote control because you basically running from iTunes on video us -- PC in your house does a pretty good job. It's cuts analog audio out digital audio out of by the way it makes it great print server -- using one for that for a long time what's interesting though is the idea that Apple as Apple's want to do is credited only -- the Apple airport express audio off of iTunes and bite me get a better way to do thank the folks at Rogue -- and a piece of software called -- well it's not three point five dollars. But does some really cool stuff and Apple's airport express check this out I load up -- foil on the machine I select one or multiple airport express adapters and I do something first off I -- can't do. Stream to multiple airport express devices simultaneously. Apple doesn't like to do that and iTunes I can basically select multiple applications well I can't like multiple applications of but I can choose just that any application that can play audio. Running on my machine. And send the audio from that -- your airport express what's that mean no more being locked in iTunes to use an airport express the -- music around your house. That's really cool this is nice piece of software it's cuts and other tweaks inside of Iraq regularly and you right now but you should definitely check it out if you're looking for inexpensive way to push music hall around your house. Rogue -- air -- 25 bucks now. Something pigs going on with Marty."
" That's right Marty why this announcement sandlot day. Well just -- before I get to the big announcement I should probably make another and a smaller announcement. Lest I gear and I went pretty serious tang and anger a -- here at the office. And we drank all your tang and I just remember this -- replaced it with Orangemen have useful. So that would probably explain where Patrick ran -- Sorry about that mean well the lining of the big. -- Is that -- luncheon in -- now October 9. 7 PM eastern right here on Revision 3 its Web Drifter."
" How do you believe it I mean we want we want more Martin."
" It's. The Web Drifter I don't know if of course he -- are basically I've been surfing the Internet and doing little. Slit administration basically. And then one -- today I finished. My wife was born outside their I was I was rudderless I didn't know where to go I like yeah. I like your only after you finish the final -- potter now we are proud to present it. So I decided that when I do to give my elect purpose again was the retraced my steps -- this not just -- this time I would do it real I would go to the physical -- of every website -- Internet all eight trillion album. And go behind the website actually is that people with my camera crew and that's how Web Drifter was more. That's right yes. What's up well this clip here. This is from the first one's gonna debut on October night this one we web -- behind this site church of Tom Jones -- I didn't and this is for real this real -- regardless bounded by a guy named after Jack -- pastor jacks to all -- can heal -- exorcise the -- Using music of Tom Jones and had the opportunity to go visit him or towns Sacramento. Where he was doing a little past -- And here's little."
" Yeah I actually. Yeah yeah did you like it doesn't it behind him and bought it and yeah I can't doesn't give -- that -- yeah. They'll all let me tell you about that I'm not. I didn't know what -- and yeah -- and then had."
" Meet me years. Why. Did it in his power. I know weird. To be sitting next to me now that the demons of failure. As an actor -- like little you -- that you secure. And."
" It's like that you get. The idea --"
" Yeah a lot and earn their heart really thanks."
" Thanks the Tom Jones but let me just say that was the first when you're gonna impact overnight but honestly it's probably the most mild he's seen. Of all the twenty episodes that we've shot for this news is and I mean we visit UFO cults. We visit I thinks -- and I go bigfoot hunting. I go ghost on it even does this is medical planet pulpit open the redwoods where people who have hospital federations go hospital and medical -- back town people or in the like the medical scenes actually. I think I spent like 45 minutes that you -- with a fine leather do -- mass in his strange I can get federal and I understood how -- could be here. That's it censored a driver or if that's that would change -- in fundamental element of the ways. No 100 pounds and can bring. I better go I immediately. We -- bigger -- to visit Web Drifter premieres October ninth 7 PM eastern right here Revision 3 also please what my talks still infected. That comes out every Thursday your -- All. --"
" The room. Hey pat day and here we got some viewer."
" Now we have this -- a viewer emails first -- Denver. Is he mailing list from Georgia got a minute want to get your input on the MacBook pro but much like this you -- for PC user. Like the whole virtual machine concept and wants to know we any reason he shouldn't move to a Mac. Europe and MacBook pro."
" I knew a lot a lot of people. Might the farmers are. If only I always get slammed for being just like -- Mac and honestly see nothing wrong with -- and I think it's me you're not wrong and liking things work. Okay people so I eggs -- what -- with Vedeno. Which switching."
" That you know the disappearing now in the slows soft crash when that members of the show back up that. But that was an an Austin thing. I say that because I thought I was salute Mac Nazi held at 5 am and I'm actually back using Macs in but there they're not there there. Who's so good but they have the moment it. -- into categories. It. The Mac what I actually prefer the MacBook and MacBook pro -- game you know it's hot ticket so. But yeah. And if you run virtual machines at Denver's definitely interested in. Having the maximum memory capacity is a huge help you run multiple operating systems simultaneously -- incredible amounts of memory it all of the memory nature of the alt. That's exam Jim is -- wage hike Wally topographic maps and GPS for hiking my garment like most brands only comes and severely limited to -- maps. So it difficult I -- topographic map."
" Now I just I go hiking and I really rare and not and that person that's -- the years I years ago hiking these days there's a trailer all the -- that I -- but it's very happy in the dog chases -- and everybody's good."
" people lot of people want to get out there and go and he and I can't and you know not get totally lost I didn't."
" Paranoid about going if if I'm going to the middle of nowhere but whether it's in my truck -- hiking I bring people maps for the area -- paper Google maps along with. It's really hard generally speaking. I don't think there's any highrise. Took a maps available for the -- I've seen -- for the the -- the war has an excellent. Personally if you're if you want to print out maps form as an exclusive to graphic map to -- excellent hand held device that would Magellan recently did some pretty took graphic maps unfortunately neither one of those are your existing government hand held at. So if -- get some tips on how to get better total mass of our hand held email us at Tekzilla at Revision 3."
" And then we also want one. Source. How should we put it. Restoration and oh --"
" For people. We would like to remind you this is the temporary said -- and constructed tools -- our studio builders this and it which way -- magnificent professional designs definitely you sound. And but now you're gonna have to do -- are pretty faces. Or at least corporate and we're gonna figure we're gonna play around this but right now we're sort of trying to do the content work out the show in the being in the website. That's Gephardt if only it. --"
" And just pick carbon thank you -- during -- on Tekzilla. Except. I don't forget that. --"
" I'd say something much more steep but it's not a huge new willows the B two did that. Yeah yeah. Patrick went down to discuss the impact. Sent -- and that's why Patrick went down to discuss. It's called audio technology."
" And welcome you -- at. Don't you. If you. Know that's just that's."
