Another CES/Beta/Filler episode of the Techcast with Terence Huynh and Chris Southcott, and this time we’re talking about… a schoolkid that might get charged by the Victorian Government for finding a security flaw? We also discuss Intel and AMD’s plans on putting Windows and Android in the same PC, and Huawei’s new Tron Android gaming console.

More CES talk with Chris Southcott and Terence Huynh in another CES episode of the Techcast – I personally call it the “filler” episodes once we actually decide what to do with the new podcast. We also talk about privacy in an era where Intel’s Jarvis and Google Glass exists, and how David Pogue is wrong about every single technology blog. Also, did I mention I’m still tired from yesterday? So this is a bit of a rushed podcast. We’ll be a bit more chirpy tomorrow. – Terence Huynh DOWNLOAD MP3 Shownotes Razer reveals Project Christine – new modular PC concept that simplifies upgrades Razer is making a fitness thingy too – introduces the Nabu smartband Garmin Vivofit Intel debuts a self-sufficient Smart Watch prototype Intel unveils ‘Jarvis,’ its always-listening smart headset David Pogue Slams Traditional Tech Blogs To Announce His New Site On Yahoo Yahoo’s sleek News Digest app swims against the stream Sony Announces PlayStation Now, A New Game Streaming Service Epson Moverio BT-200 Oculus reveals Crystal Cove prototype virtual reality headset with intriguing OLED display LG’s new webOS interface is a smart, simple, but occasionally jittery way to navigate your TV

We are a couple of hours away from the BBC announcing who will play the Twelfth Doctor, so why not speculate and discuss the wide-ranging field of people who could succeed Matt Smith? Could the next Doctor be American, female or &#8211; dare I say it &#8211; ginger? Join us in a special TechGeek Weekly with our friends over at Ausdroid as we discuss who will be Number 12. What do we think of the favourite Peter Capaldi, Russell Tovey or even Dame Judi Dench playing the role? How about Daniel Radcliffe or Hugh Laurie? Or how about some far fetched ones including Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan or even Robert Pattinson? Joining Terence Huynh in the special episode are: Jason Murray (Ausdroid and frequent guest on TechGeek Weekly), Adam Rickets (Ausdroid) and Alex Dennis (Ausdroid). For those who don&#8217;t know TechGeek Weekly, we call this an Episode 96 &#8211; as in, we&#8217;re not talking about technology. Don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;ll be back doing that tomorrow with a new episode. Do be warned, it is at least an hour and half long. I&#8217;m interested in hearing what you think could be Number 12 &#8211; feel free to comment below.
