Comments Off on Episode 174 – iPhone Launch 2007 Revisited

A quick throwback episode to our co-host Michael Martine interviewing people at the launch of the iPhone back in 2007. At the time we were doing a general tech podcast called Dogear Nation based on tags in the social tagging site Dogear. Great to hear what the big ideas were in the minds of the people in line. Did you pick up your “Jesus phone” back then? Enjoy. http://media.blubrry.com/gamesatwork/op3.dev/e,pg=6e00562f-0386-5985-9c2c-26822923720d/gamesatwork.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/6-174-Episode-174-iPhone-Launch-2007-Revisted.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 9:31 — 11.1MB) | EmbedSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | Podcast Index | Youtube Music | RSS | More

Phaedra, Michael and Michael get together to discuss some very interesting articles, kicking things off with how 3D pictures are used to explain mathematical concepts in a new pictorial language called Quon.  The paper explaining the concept dives into quantum concepts, including teleportation, topological algebra and Bloch spheres, quickly reaching the mathematical limits of the trio.
