Description: Interview with Chuck Hollis, global chief technology officer for EMC, one of the largest information management companies in the world. He talks about Big Data. Leon and Garry discuss issues including: How one of the most complicated missions ever attempted by NASA, the landing of the one-ton rover Curiosity inside a crater on Mars after a 500 million kilometre journey, has apparently gone without a hitch. How a submarine glider to explore the ocean of Europa, a solid-state air purification system and a way of making concrete out of lunar soil for Moon colonies are among the 28 proposals that NASA has selected for study and development under its NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program. Business networking site LinkedIn announcing it took a hit of up to $1 million due to one of the year's largest reported data breaches. Research from recruitment firm CTPartners Executive Search showing that LinkedIn might claim to have over 160 million members globally, but it has yet to convince the majority of chief executives to get on its bandwagon with 93 per cent of them absent from the platform. YouTube won’t be on iPhones and IPads. As of iOS 6 beta 4, the stand-alone YouTube app is no longer part of the default applications included with the iPhone and iPad. The US Patent Office granting Apple a patent for NFC-enabled "on-the-go shopping lists". The patent shows a unified interface allowing iPhone users to compare product prices and features after entering a UPC code, scanning the barcode, or tapping an NFC tag. In worrying news for tech companies, an American man has filed suit against Yahoo this week alleging that lax security measures allowed hackers to get into a Yahoo database and steal passwords from 450,000 accounts. The court case between Apple and Samsung continues this week with Apple calling in witnesses who say Samsung has flagrantly copied Apple’s design patents and Samsung and the judge Justice Koh slamming Samsung for accusing Apple of tampering with evidence. Facebook might have finally found a way to make money. Facebook has made a bold move into the online gambling space, allowing UK developer Gamesys to launch the platform's first real-money gaming app. Dubbed Bingo Friendzy, the app offers users a selection of bingo and slots games, allowing them to pay directly with cash rather than mediating their purchases through Facebook's Credits system. And Amazon is becoming like Facebook. Amazon is extending its vast online empire to the business of actually making video games, starting with the newly launched Living Classics, the fledgling studio's first Facebook game. Amazon is striking another blow at the traditional textbook industry by offering semester-long rentals of physical books. Amazon.com's UK wing claims its British customers are now buying more e-books than printed-on-paper editions. According to the online retailer, for every 100 print books sold in 2012 so far, 114 electronic tomes have been purchased.
