digitalSoup - A Hilariously Geeky Podcast show

Summary: Never fear, Adam is here! We’ve got Caterpillar and Land Rover Cell phones, a 10,000 year clock from Jeff Bezos, Walking Dead stars moving on from the show and Adam brings us a killer quiz show! Be sure to check it out, Jason and Adam even take a stand on who is the best Captain, Kirk or Picard! ----more---- Caterpillar announces updated mobile phone Yes, that Caterpillar. The Heavy Equipment company has its own cell phone brand. The updated phone, called the Cat S61, has features that make it pretty unique. A thermal camera, indoor air quality sensors and even laser-assisted distance measurement system. The phone is actually built by a company called Bullitt Group and branded with the Caterpillar name. In other news, Land Rover also has their own line of super rugged phones made to withstand the elements.  The Land Rover phone is also built by Bullitt.   Spotify Now Hiring We’ve mentioned it in the past, but it appears that Spotify is getting closer to jumping into the physical product game. A job posting by Spotify looking for an Ops Manager for a “hardware product” along with the line “Spotify is on its way to creating its first physical products” have all signs pointing to the jump. Watch out Apple, your white ring maker may have some more competition soon.   10,000 Year Clock Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced the construction has begun for a massive 10,000 year clock on his property in Texas. This clock will have a hand that ticks once per year, a hand that ticks once per century and best yet, a cuckoo will emerge once a millenium. The idea is to get people thinking about time differently, much the same as how viewing photos of the Earth from space changed thinking about the environment.   'Walking Dead' Star Lauren Cohan, Without Season 9 Contract, Books Lead in ABC Pilot The actress, who has been battling AMC over her season nine salary, will star opposite Scott Foley in 'Whiskey Cavalier.'  Lauren Cohan is eyeing her departure from The Walking Dead.She has starred as Maggie since season two of the AMC zombie drama and has now booked a lead role in ABC drama pilot Whiskey Cavalier.Norman Reedus Photography Interview   “CORAL” wants the big screen Imagine a world where Carl from The Walking Dead (actor Chandler Riggs) was Peter Parker/Spider-Man or Han Solo.   Solo: A Star Wars Story gets Sabotaged In an excellent mashup, the teaser trailers for Solo were re-cut and set to the popular Beastie Boys song, Sabotage.

It looks like it could be fun, though we don’t see all that much besides a voice over narration as the Robinson family boards their spaceship.   How Riker Sits Down (a.k.a.
