February 15, 2011
A missed Saturday show becomes an unusual live Tuesday broadcast, complete with the discovery that the phone needed for callers is still sitting in Dr. Dave’s truck. Dr. Dave marks the end of the Palm name with genuine affection, reports that his friends’ race car completed the Rolex 24 at Daytona and remembers that the most enjoyable football he watched was Dr. Dave's son Lee and Dr. Dave's son Nick playing peewee football. The technology discussion captures several important 2011 transitions: touch-based mobile interfaces pressuring Windows, IBM Watson appearing on Jeopardy, an iPad-specific newspaper, and Microsoft allowing the Zune brand to fade. A vivid consulting story follows Dr. Dave into powerful radio-frequency interference, where a charging phone misbehaves and even an unconnected wire sparks from induced current.
