The Digital Lifestyle Show #400 – Ed Bott and Charlie Owen future gazing

Well we make it to show number 400, since I started the podcast in 2005 (then called The Media Center Show) we have talked to hundreds of people and discussed many different technologies some of which we use every day and some have long been forgotten.

In this special show Jason, Garry and I are joined by Charlie Owen and Ed Bott. Charlie is a Program Manager at Microsoft and was on the Windows Media Center team when he first join me on show number 1. Ed Bott is an award winning author and journalist and has been on the TDL Show many times over the years. Rather than looking back at the last 400 shows we are looking forward at technology we could be talking about in the next 400 shows and what kind of devices and services we will be using when we get to show 800. We look at wearable computing and how Google Glass may not be the solution, Microsoft and the OEM landscape in 5 years’ time, Cloud OS v Cloud Services, subsidised tablets and we talk about the challenges in shifting the direction of operating system and not alienating existing uses. It’s a packed show with some really interesting discussions, I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it.
