Transcript
PETE: I actually don’t [unintelligible] that much.
BEN: But you are British. You have to.
PETE: Yeah. I'm a traitor to my nation. I also don’t watch football that much. And that’s why I use ‘football’, not ‘soccer’.
CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to episode 33 of the iPhreaks Show. This week on our panel, we have Jaim Zuber.
JAIM: Hello from Minneapolis.
CHUCK: Ben Scheirman. Andrew Madsen.
ANDREW: Hi from Salt Lake City.
CHUCK: Pete Hodgson.
PETE: Hello from my pajamas.
CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv, with a real quick announcement: if you are interested in learning Ruby on Rails, my Rails Ramp Up course; if you buy it at the beginning of the year… actually, I´ll give you a few days. If you buy it by January 4th, you can get 30% off. You can get that on railsrampup.com
We also have a special guess, and that’s Kevin Harwood.
KEVIN: Hey guys, from Austin, Texas.
CHUCK: Is it snowing in Austin?
KEVIN: It’s actually 79 degrees right now. I think the high, it gets up 75 today. So it’s a nice day here in Austin.
ANDREW: That sounds nice.
JAIM: Not bad. So you are an Auburn guy?
KEVIN: I am. It was a pretty good weekend. Me and Tim Cook had a lot to cheer for on Saturday.
JAIM: I can sense the glow all the way through the internet.
KEVIN: I haven’t stopped grinning since Saturday evening.
CHUCK: [Laughs]
JAIM: Yeah, that Auburn virus really infected my timeline. Really, the only person on my timeline that was tweeting anything other than football was John Siracusa and he was talking about TVs or something.
PETE: I totally tune out whenever time it is that people tweet about this. I think it’s like Sundays or Mondays or something. I get quite annoyed with Twitter and I just stopped using because I don’t know, they are talking about touchdowns and basket hoops or something. I don’t know. It’s all very confusing to me.
KEVIN: I'm actually hoping Twitter releases some statistic like they do, like a super bowl halftime show or something and see if we can see an impact from that game and see the usage spike on Twitter.
PETE: Someone should do some sentiment analysis on Twitter, where they like to find out… that would be really cool actually to map like…
JAIM: Didn’t Apple buy a company that does that?
PETE: Really?
JAIM: Yeah, for like 200 million. What was it called, Topsy? Isn’t that what they did?
KEVIN: Yeah, I think so.
PETE: You are telling me I just came up a 200 million dollar idea?
[Laughter]
I'm not going to tell you guys my other ideas.
