The Gigaom Show – Gigaom: Recent Episodes
This week’s episode of The Gigaom Show tackles the big news of the week right up front: the ascension of just the third CEO in Microsoft’s history, Satya Nadella, to the top spot, and Barb Darrow helps us set it straight. Nadella has got a lot on his plate, but at least he doesn’t have to figure out how to make cars talk to each other (yet), something Kevin Fitchard helps us break down. And finally, we catch up with Stacey Higginbotham’s quest to expose all the crazy dealings of the broadband world with her latest installment on the growing signs that ISPs are fighting back against video providers by throttling your Netflix.

On this week’s episode of the Gigaom Show we get into the good, the bad and the ugly of technology. Netflix (s NFLX) reported another strong quarter this week, setting its sites on international expansion and new potential price plans. Famed headphone maker Beats expanded its brand into a new music streaming services, with a few skips in that particular record. And finally, we talk about the increasing disparity in the Bay Area, between the young tech-haves and the-can’t-afford-to-live-here-anymores.

The new year has barely begun, but it’s starting with a bang, and we talk about it all on the Gigaom Show. First, Google (s GOOG) bought connected thermostat company Nest for $3.2 billion, generating waves of concern over privacy and robots. Then, a court ruling struck down the notion that ISPs have to play fair with their pipes, thereby possibly ruining the internet for everyone. Though that news is most definitely bleak, we end on a fun note, the quest to rebuild a miniature, working Cray supercomputer.

It’s the second most wonderful time of the year — CES time! The Consumer Electronics Show invades Las Vegas next week and we’re giving you a sneak peek. Though, to be fair, as our intrepid gadgeteers Janko Roettgers and Kevin Tofel point out — a lot of what to expect has already been released through various leaks and pre-announcements.
But don’t let that stop you from enjoying a fun-filled discussion about some great gear and devices as well as a little detour into ABC putting up a paywall in front of its TV episodes and how that impacts cord cutting.

So, that happened. And by that we mean all kinds of crazy stuff went down in the tech world in 2013. Snooping and privacy were the biggest stories of the year by far, but there was plenty of other stuff for us to jabber about. Like the internet of things verging on the mainstream, Google’s (s GOOG) un-set-top box, and and Microsoft’s (s MSFT) ur-box, Xbox One. It was a show so big we had to pull in a heavy hitting team of experts to talk about it all.
Sit back. Relax, and enjoy our fun discussion about the year that was.

Instagram (s FB) shminstagram. Rather using this week’s Gigaom Show to discuss the messaging app we already saw coming, we turned our attention to much hotter topics.

Then Austin-ite Stacey Higginbotham clues us into AT&T’s new plan to offer cheaper broadband in exchange for the telco snooping on your searches. Finally we round out the episode with a discussion about Verizion’s (s VZN) monster new LTE network and deep discussion on the ability to unlock one’s phone.

The wait is over and the world can once again bask in the cool blue glow of next-generation consoles, as both the Sony (s SNE) Playstation 4 and Microsoft’s (s MSFT) Xbox One were officially released. On this week’s podcast we talk about the Xbox One as a media device, especially in the wake of much cheaper (and admittedly less beefier) streaming devices like the Chromecast, which just got HBO GO. Then we shift gears to talk about a big solar farm Apple (s APPL) built and the heat Tesal (s TSLA) is taking after a few fires broke out in its Model S car.

While it would have been cool for Twitter’s (s TWTR) stock to hit $140 on its opening day, the newly minted mega paper rich will have to settle for the 75 percent jump the stock took. On this week’s Gigaom Show, we cover all the bases of the hotly anticipated IPO. From there we take on the much tougher job of picking the new Microsoft (s MSFT) CEO – who’s in, who’s out and who should be on the list. And finally we take a moment to appreciate our recent Roadmap conference and marvel at how people really like to talk about fonts.
