Not that this will come as a shock or anything, but this week we're talking Apple iPad -- and pretty much nothing else. Yeah, we'll get into a few other tablets, too, like the Dell Mini 5, the HP slate, the Fusion Garage JooJoo, and so on, but you can definitely consider this one our iPad show!Archive for January, 2010

A showdown between a zookeeper and an orangutan named Fu Manchu raises a question: can an animal know what's in your head well enough to manipulate and deceive you?

In our last episode of Radiolab, Animal Minds, we asked whether it was possible for one animal to know what is going on in another animal’s mind. For us, it was a really about whether we, as humans, can really share a meaningful moment with an animal. In this podcast, we take that question a step further. Can an animal know what’s in our heads so well that they can manipulate and deceive us? To answer that question, reporter Ben Calhoun took us back to the 1960s to tell the story of a showdown between zookeeper Jerry Stones and a wily orangutan named Fu Manchu. Then, to help us get a grip on the science behind animals and deception, Ben talks to primatologist and orangutan expert Rob Shumaker of the Indianapolis Zoo.

The industry is still taking a post-CES breather, but Apple's tablet event on the 27th was obviously the biggest news we'll be digging into this week. We're also talking about the delay of Sony's PS3 Motion Controller, the new Jawbone ICON and Motorola MOTOROI, SlideScreen for Android, and our hands-on impressions of the Nokia N900.gdgt weekly 069 – CES wrap-up, part 2

In part two of our CES wrap-up / 2010 kickoff, we'll digging in on e-book readers -- specifically the Plastic Logic QUE proReader, Spring Design Alex, and the Skiff Reader -- and Pixel Qi's potentially game (or at least category)-changing display. We've also got word on the WiMAX-enabled Sprint Overdrive, Project Natal's 2010 release, D-Link's DIR-632 8-port 802.11n router, and even a bit on some upcoming smartbooks, like the Lenovo Skylight.gdgt weekly 069 – CES wrap-up, part 1

When we gaze into the eyes of our beloved pets, can we ever really know what they’re thinking? Is it naive to assume they might be experiencing something close to the emotions we feel? Or, on the contrary, is it ridiculous to assume that they AREN’T feeling anything back? In this hour of Radiolab, we explore what science can say about what goes on in the minds of animals.
