September 24, 2010 | 5:38 pm | Categories: Gadget Lab Podcasts In this week’s Gadget Lab podcast, the crew speculates about the rumored Facebook phone, aka Mark Zuckerberg’s plan for world domination. Adding to the rumors, yours truly blurts out a tip from a source about Facebook developing an all-in-one virtual identity that you’ll use not just to connect with friends, but maybe even buy things. How awesome would that be?
Speaking of money: People who have a lot of it tend to get nasty with lawyers. That’s the case for Daniel Kokin, who’s going to trial with Apple to fight over the word “Pod.” Kokin’s startup Sector Labs is trying to brand a video projector “VideoPod,” and Apple’s claiming that Kokin’s usage of that magical three-letter word could get people confused about the famous iPod player.
Wrapping up the podcast, Priya Ganapati tells a story about a robot taking on the challenge of walking 300 miles from Tokyo to Kyoto.
