Can you believe it, more Apple news? Yep, three major presentation in the last two months, and this one is all about the new Apple Silicon, and how it’s stream lining the Apple eco-system with high speeds and levels of coss platform compatibility. Apple tracker Taylor Barcroft is in the studio with the latest Apple info.

Not as much space news this week, but I found it fascinating that NASA’s latest estimate of inhabitable worlds in our local galaxy is about 300 million planets.  Talk about room for migration! All we need is some decent transportation, perhaps a future version of Virgin Galactic’s Hyperloop..

And lots of virus news this week, with the 90% success rate of Pfizer’s vaccine and promising reseach results from the University of Washington on their ultra-potent nano-particle vaccine. My favorite this week is the MIT research to create an app for your phone that can see if you have Covid simply by analyzing your coughs!  Bobby Wilder is in our virtual studio to help us sift throught the latest research.  Enjoy!

Lots of animals in Future News this week, rodents predicting the end of winter, drones captured by Eagles, why cats hate water.  We have a new AI too, Alpha GO, Google’s Go playing AI that has successfully beaten the top Go player of Europe.  But all is not lost for humans this week - Apparently we have 10x more memory than previously thought, enough connections in our brains to be at about the same level of complexity as the entire World Wide Web! Wowie zowie, all we have to do now is figure out how to access all that memory, and just maybe we can get some respect from our evolving AI’s..

And beyond Earth, what’s your favorite planet? With a little help from The Atlantic, we make the case for Saturn!

Elon Musk’s Hyperloop got a lot of attention this week, and why not?  It’s an invention that is far-reaching, useful, elegant, and could actually work for less than current mass transpo plans.  We take a closer look at it on this week’s news.  

More seriously, we take a deeper look at the fallout of the NSA’s massive spy campaign, it’s effect on secure email businesses, and alternative networks and technologies rising to continue our freedom of privacy, despite NSA’s campaigns otherwise.
