Wireless on New York Subways
While some of us have trouble getting a decent signal above ground, New York subways are set to get a wireless network to serve them underground.
New DroboPro FS
Data Robotics is rolling out the newest member of its Drobo family, the DroboPro FS, and we have an exclusive look at what this data protection robot can do for you.
Robot Suit for Kids
If your kid isn’t dangerous enough already, you might want to outfit them with this battle mech exoskeleton. This seems like a plan where nothing can go wrong!
GoToMeeting
With budget cuts left and right, teleconferencing is looking better and better. GoToMeeting makes the process easy, and they have a free 30-day trial to get you started. Remember to use the code GEEK when getting set up.
Lasers for Brain Tumors
Neurosurgeons at Washington University are using lasers to cook away brain tumors in places that can’t be reached with normal surgery.
Hi Cali
YOu just say that the drobo pro is the first NAS to give the functionallity scheduler backus.. I Have got a Netgear NAS NV+ and not only back up to another NAS but also to external HD connected by USB. it can do schedulered backup and automatic when the HD is connected
The reason that you got good cell phone reception in SF it is due to a company my friend is partner in. Their company provides extension of cell cites in large building complexes and public spaces. They completed the BART/MUNI installation a couple of years ago. Just an FYI.
My brother in-law, like a lot of NYers tell me their used 2 no cell recpt. in the Sub Way stations, but there seams to be conflicting stories if cell service will be *on the moving trains* or not. Some say this may be a safety issue, as talking on phones will distract users too much, and raise cell phone thefts. I’m not yet a Drobo owner, but the DroboPro FS will reside here when I do, and I really like the new sync feature, terrific!!! The robo-suit for kids , R U kidding??? I saw a kid ka-nabbing people’s kabosses with a Mars Grabber toy on the streets once, imagine what they’d do with this suit ;-). Eliminating brain tumors with lasers is cool, I happen to have 2 of them in MY head, one I call cell company “A” the other cell comp. “V”, both completely immune to lasers. But nice idea, I know it will work out well for those really effected by tumors… Great show, I just love all your “T” shirts BTW, you should do a show dedicated to them all some day… “B”
Loved the show.. I’ll be researching how robotics can do microvascular decompression surgery like I had WOW
And this Cali App sounds too sweet… just too sweet
Love ya

When will there be a caliapp for us Android user?
Hi there Cali , service in NY breaks when i am half way down the stairs, so service down there will be a blessing, also either Blackberry 9700 and iPhone 4 will take forever to find the network once im back in the surface. Cheers!
I am in NYC every month and you get NO reception when you get underground for the subway. It’s shocking how quickly the reception dies. I REALLY love the show.
Cali, you where mention wireless on the New York subway station’s.
Well yes we have no reception at all once you go down the stairs in the subway. Sometimes if you are lucky in certain stations and specific spots of those stations, the waves make their way to the underground.
We have been waiting for such a long time that by now is not good news anymore.
Now a good news will be having a cleaner subway stations, better and more reliable service, and a halt to increase of the fares.
I guess for the Homeless in the City, and the rats that are in the subway stations and track’s this will be good news, so now they can use their’s I-phones or I-pads in the subway station 😉
