Rocketboom

23 Comments on november 30, 2006 : special interview

  1. Bonjour,

    Great !

    I appreciated this alternative approach of electronics and overall of new technologies with this diverted vision.

    That points out a little, the spirit of those who discovered with passion (my Father) this domain in 50s-60s, with the application of this brilliant invention which is the Transitor.

  3. Yea Rocketboom!

    Again your roots are showing! (not yours Joanne) The best of all worlds - an interview and a lot of cool tech stuff.

    Yes - the rotary cell phone rules. I think there might be a market for it. What a great tool for social commentary. I can imagine using it to setup an “office” in the middle of a park, or in the lobby of a high rise office building - complete with a manual typewriter. The possibilies are endless.

    Anyone else have other ideas for the rotary cell phone?

    Great job - keep it up!

  6. It’s like when Maxwell Smart would go to the lab for a new “high tech” gaget. I wonder if this guy can invent the shoe phone, like Max had ?

  8. I really hate it when obnoxious people force me to listen to their private conversations by being next to me, yapping on their cell phones in restaurants, the movies, grocery stores, etc. I would love to be able to pull out one of those old phones and have it ring in their ears so they would realize how annoying they are.

    “Do you have a Zune?”

    “No”

  11. For Xmas I’d like the RIAA to go away and stop threatening to blot out the sky.

    Look here folks, RIAA wants to shut down the Internet, and the Bush’s government is sympathetic to the idea!

  13. This was a somewhat useful episode, but you should reach a little further beyond NYC and/or people you know.

    Maybe check out Ciarcia’s Circuit Cellar up in Connecticut?

  18. Timothy Leary did say he ripped it off some Kam-man. Well, maybe we can work something out. Got any Polonium?

    By the way, who thought up the lamest product name ever?

    Zune!

    Let’s see what ryhmes with Tune (as in iTunes) oh I got it ….Zune.

    Bill Gates: yeah whatever, let me drink my scotch in peace, I’ve got 3 kids now, get outta here…I’m a philanthropist now… where’s that other bottle… Zune Moon Cocoon…whatever, just get it out for X-mas or your Xed.

  21. I have been watchin’ the show with some interest for awhile. Latey I noticed the producer alienated the Republican viewers and allegedly censors the comments of nay-sayers. Is it any suprise that the remaining comments all seem so positive?

    Just,
    Curious?
