In this week’s Gadget Lab podcast, the Gadget Lab crew talks about Apple’s iCloud, Brian Chen’s new book and some hot new wheels.
Staff writer Brian X. Chen and senior editor Dylan Tweney kick off the podcast with thoughts on Apple’s iCloud, the company’s cloud-services product expected to be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 6 in San Francisco.
Next, the two talk about Brian Chen’s forthcoming book, Always On. Brian dives into how the rise of the smartphone has affected society as a whole, as well as individuals, and what the next 10 years could look like for a smartphone-carrying public.
We’re also giving away three copies of Brian’s book to readers. Drop your thoughts on how your smartphone has changed or affected your life in a major way in the comments section of this post. The top three most thoughtful responses will score a copy of Always On.
Finally, Dylan shows off his sweet new ride. It’s not a mid-life crisis Porsche, though. The Hot Wheels Video Racers kit puts a tiny camera in your toy car, and lets you hook the car up to your computer for video editing later. We think it’s awesome, if a little nausea-inducing.
