In our special episode, we're revisiting the tech highlights of 2023. The year began with Sony's PlayStation 5 controller launch and Microsoft's investment in OpenAI. Twitter made waves by banning third-party apps, sparking a discussion featured in a clip with Gedeon Maheux. February brought Google's AI plans with Bard and exciting tech news from Canada. HumanWare introduced the Victor Reader Stream 3rd gen. March featured Humanware's "Made for Surface" devices and the CSUN conference. April marked Amazon's support for cochlear implants and Seeing AI's indoor navigation feature. May was packed with innovations, including Braille Doodle and Final Cut's iPad debut, alongside an audio transcription demo using AIKO. Sadly, Microsoft bid farewell to Soundscape, but it returned via Open Scape beta, the Scottish Tech Army, and the NCBI. June showcased Apple's WWDC and Vision Pro, along with Reddit's significant API changes. July was Convention month, featuring Sight Village PamTrad, NFB Report by Damashe Thomas, and ACB-OKO. August turned the spotlight to smart glasses, including Seleste and Kapsys smartvision 3. In September, LEGO launched braille bricks for everyone, while WordPress Accessibility Day emphasized web inclusivity. October unveiled CES in Amsterdam, and November featured a talking air fryer, Be My Eyes at an Open AI event, JAWS news, and some Open AI chaos. Be My AI emerged as the first customer service AI. December concluded with Forza's success at the Game Awards, the Netflix drama "All The Light We Cannot See," and the Android debut of Seeing AI and Be My AI. Sight Tech Global was a must-attend event for tech enthusiasts.

Ahsoka travels to another galaxy and we finally meet Thrawn! Plus, weird rat-dog-horses, turtle people, kintsugi stormtroopers, and Ezra with a beard. Thanks to our special guest Gedeon Maheux of The Iconfactory! Follow. Subscribe. Rate. Review. Thumbs up. Give us all the Stars! Show notes. We finally meet Ezra Bridger, live action and all. Oh, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, too. There is a lot we (well, Mike and Jay) don't know about the Jedi, or their connections to the Dathomir. Jay loves seeing Wes Chatham, even if he's under a gold mask. News you can abuse! The interconnected nature of the MCU caused some problems for The Marvels director. Guess who's back, back again.

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun read more of your emails and listen to your voicemails following our discussion of the HIMS SensePlayer. However, it is clear there are more questions than answers now. Also, we meet Gedeon Maheux, the designer and owner of The Iconfactory, creator of the popular Twitterrific app, to discuss why they pulled it from the App Store amid seemingly endless changes at Twitter. Gedeon talks openly about the app being taken down and how he feels blind and low-vision customers are being let down by Elon Musk. We love your feedback. Email feedback@doubletaponair.com or call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail. You can also find us across social media @DoubleTapOnAir.

CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIOSURGEON IN iTUNES!Well it's several weeks late, and for that we can only apologise, but conflicting schedules, workloads and technical 'issues' have just kept holding us back. As a result there's no central discussion this time, although we promise this will return next time. Saying that, at least you don't have to listen to us wittering on about random stuff this time, and can instead enjoy all the extra new music we've found you instead, from Bonobo and Braintax to Dan Arborise and The Format via Squarepusher and DJ Kentaro.We've also landed two sweet interviews for you; the first with Andy Turner, the man behind Aim, the celebrated UK Hip-Hop act, and the second with Gedeon Maheux from the Iconfactory, the kings of icon design.And regular listeners will be pleased to know that Ask Rina is back. As ever, let us know your thoughts, and on the right you'll find how to leave questions for Rina.MUSIC:Zero DB - Sunshine LazyAlbum: Bongos, Bleeps and BasslinesRelease Date: Out NowLabel: Ninja TuneOfficial SiteBonobo - Between the LinesAlbum: Days to ComeRelease Date: Out NowLabel: Ninja tuneOfficial SiteAim - Intro #3Album: Flight 602Release Date: Out NowPixelsurgeon ReviewLabel: Atic RecordsOfficial SiteAim - BirchwoodAlbum: Flight 602Release Date: Out NowPixelsurgeon ReviewLabel: Atic RecordsOfficial SiteTy - What You Want (Taylormade)Album: CloserRelease Date: Oct 16thLabel: Big DadaOfficial SiteBraintax - Pick A Subject (featuring Verb T)Album: PanoramaRelease Date: Oct 23rdLabel: LowlifeOfficial SiteThe Lemonheads - No BackboneAlbum: The LemonheadsLabel: PolydorRelease Date: Out NowOfficial SiteColdcut - Everything is Under Control (DJ Kentaro Remix)Album: Sound Mirrors - Videos and RemixesRelease Date: 30th OctoberLabel: Ninja TuneNinja TuneSquarepusher - Rotate ElectrolyteAlbum: Hello EverythingRelease Date: 16th OctoberLabel: WarpOfficial siteClark - Vengeance DroolsAlbum: Body RiddleRelease Date: 2nd OctoberLabel: WarpOfficial siteJ*S*T*A*R*S - Loose Nuke Threat (Ask Rina theme)Album: Put Me on a PlanetRelease Date: Out NowLabel: Steel TigerOfficial SiteJohn Smith - Matchbox ManAlbum: The Fox and the MonkRelease Date: Out NowOfficial SiteDan Arborise - Beauty Through Her EyesAlbum: Around in CirclesRelease Date: Out NowPixelsurgeon ReviewLabel: Just MusicOfficial SiteThe Format - OceansAlbum: Dog ProblemsRelease Date: Out NowLabel: The Vanity LabelPixelsurgeon ReviewOfficial SiteAll music used with kind permission.
