And, as you can imagine, much of our time has been focused on him. Anyway, we're finally back and ready to chat! 1. Big Jambox: Jawbone has done it again. The older, more sophisticated brother of the original Jambox, the latest version creates a portable, hi-fi sound system of sorts with your iPhone, tablet, or other mobile device. Twitter: @Jawbone 2. Philips Wins the L Prize: If you're one to follow the happenings around Earth Day, then you'll likely be interested to know what you can do to make your house more energy-efficient. Look no further than Philips' award-winning LED replacement bulb, available at Home Depot. Twitter: @PhilipsLight 3. UPPLEVA: Ikea, from a design and price-point perspective, is pure briiliance. And, their UPPLEVA TV stand is all kinds of cool. Everything is pretty much built into it. We'll take 2, please! Twitter: @DesignByIKEA 4. Cherry: Now that winter is over, it's time to get on that whole regular car washing thing. And, Cherry is a new service that will help you get a car wash anywhere you'd like (via a fully-trained, totally legit person). Twitter: @Cherry Happy geeking! G + Kyra

show notes - http://thebit.tv/episode50 twitter - http://www.twitter.com/thebittv website - http://www.thebit.tv facebook - http://link.thebit.tv/thebittv Show Notes: It's our half-century episode! Which means we've been doing this for a full year, and change. Very exciting. 1. New iPad: So, as anticipated, the March 7th Apple event was all about the latest generation of the iPad, not aptly named the 'iPad 3'. It's a bit faster and has a retina display, but, generally speaking, it's quite similar...albeit still as beautiful as ever. 2. iOS 5.1: In addition to launching the new iPad, Apple has brought us an updated version of iOS. So, jump up and down with glee and download the software update. 3. Live Streaming of the Olympics: Gone are the days of misisng some of your favorite events at this global extravaganza. NBC has partnered with YouTube in a live streaming effort - starting July 27th! Twitter: @London2012, YouTube, @nbc 4. Scoot Networks: If you like the concept of the ZipCar, you'll love this service specifically for scooters. And, the good news? Since they only go 30mph, you don't even need a special motorcycle license. Twitter: @ScootNetworks 5. Nature Valley Trail View: Combine Nature Valley, of the granola scene, with a bunch of hikers plus a tripod + camera + the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and the Great Smokies, and you get the 'trail view' version of some of America's greatest natural wonders. Twitter: @Nature_Valley 6. Tweet a Beer: Yep, it's just what it sounds like. You can buy someone else a beer via your Twitter account. Quelle service! Twitter: @tweet_a_beer Happy geeking! G + Kyra

 Episode 49 - Apple iPad3 Event, Tulip Lantern, Fader Highlighter, Karma, Photoshop Touch App | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 245

Show Notes: 1. Apple Event: It's been a while, but Apple will be holding an event, dubbed the iPad 3 event - yes, officially. Scheduled to take place on March 7th, this event should be exciting! Now, the only question is whether we should wait in line at 4am for the next generation iPad. 2. Tulip Lantern: Somewhat as the name implies, this camping and outdoorsy lantern, another awesome product by Snow Peak, will automatically change its glow based on the position it's in. Twitter: @Snow_Peak 3. Fader Highlighter: Quirky can really do no wrong. They've developed a highlighter that actually fades after 5 months of use. So, go ahead and sell your used textbooks for almost full price. Twitter: @quirky 4. Karma: The concept of this new start-up is simple and super cool. You can now send gifts to your Facebook friends without having to get their address with the Karma app. Get it. Twitter: @GetKarma 5. Photoshop Touch for iPad 2: Adobe just announced the release of an app made specifically for the iPad 2 that allows you to use such classic features as layers, selection tools, and filters.

show notes - http://thebit.tv/episode43 twitter - http://www.twitter.com/thebittv website - http://www.thebit.tv facebook - http://link.thebit.tv/thebittv youtube channel - http://link.thebit.tv/ip4sUL Show Notes: So CES is upon us and we're amped! But, also a bit bummed that we can't make it. We actually have a press pass, but, alas, won't be able to use it. There was talk of last-minute ticket purchases. But, Vegas right now. Um, during CES. Not entirely feasible. Hopefully next year! Stay tuned for more CES news during our next show. 1. Gympact: A new year. A new set of fitness-related resolutions that many of us will claim. Enter Gympact, an iPhone app that involves signing a fun gym "pact" and actually getting paid to exercise. Well, that is, as long as you meet your pact goals. :) Who's in? Twitter: @GymPact 2. Roku: This cool internet streamer continues to shrink. In size, that is. The latest is basically the size of a jump drive and plugs right into the HDMI port in your TV. The only downside to this smaller device? Watch the show to find out. Haha... Twitter: @RokuPlayer 3. Perch: A small device created by Loss Prevention Systems that ensures you'll never forget your iPhone when its charging in the wall at the hotel. And, yes it twirps just like a little bird. Hence the name. Oh, and it works with latops, MP3 players, and other gadgets as well. 4. GreenZero Charger: Made by Bracketron, this eco-friendly charger will actually determine when your mobile device has stopped charging and turn itself off. It comes in a super cool green too. Twitter: @Bracketron 5. SolarKindle: If you can't stand having to deal with all the charging cables in your home, look no further than the SolarKindle, a cover that uses solar power to keep your Kindle charged for up to 3 months. Finally, one less cable to get tangled in the mess behind the TV console! Alright, well, that's it for this week! Happy CES'ing to our colleagues, friends, followers, and followees who are in Vegas as we type and edit. Have a blast! And, as usual, happy geeking. G + Kyra

 TheBIT.TV - Episode 42-EchoSign App for iOS, MITx, Republic Wireless, Cloud Copy, 'Scoop' by Quirky | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 227

Show Notes: 1. EchoSign App for iOS: Sign documents online, including contractual agreements, with this Adobe app for the iPhone and iPad. And, not to worry, authentication and fraud protection are built into the app. Twitter: @EchoSign 2. MITx: MIT will no longer be exclusive to those who love the idea of a 'rager' that involves chalk boards and unsolved formulas...a la "Good Will Hunting". Soon, everyone will be able to take online courses at this prestigious university. For a certificate. For free! Um, where do we sign up? Twitter: @MITNewsTips, @MITNews 3. Republic Wireless: $19 for an unlimited data/voice and text plan with the help of the internet as opposed to a cell network. Exactly what this company will offer. It's still in beta, but we have high hopes! Twitter: @republicwrless 4. Cloud Copy: Feel like copying something from your iMac and pasting it into your iPad or iPhone? Sounds practical, right? Much more so than, say, copying the content on the clipboard, pasting it into an email, recopying the content, and re-pasting it. This brilliance courtesy of Ductus IT Solutions. 5. "Scoop" by Quirky: This company just does not disappoint. One of their latest products is a measuring spoon that turns into a knife. So, scoop up that cream cheese and spread it on your bagel with glee. Twitter: @quirky Happy New Year!
