Zdravo. V tokratni epizodi čestitamo vsem, ki ste včeraj tekli in se pogovarjamo o tem, kako bi mi delali podkast, če bi zmanjkalo elektrike. Vsak ponedeljek ob 6h zjutraj v živo v parku Zvezda. Spomnimo se tudi na geografijski zdrs iz prejšnje epizode in se še enkrat opravičujemo za vse nevšečnosti vsem prebivalkam in prebivalcem Babnega polja. Ugotovimo, da smo politično (ne)korektni in da bi potrebovali cenzorja in ugotavljamo, kje bi ga lahko dobili brezplačno. Aljo pove, da bi rad bil investicijski nesvetovalec, preden pa se vržemo v poglavje, pa se spomnimo na prejšnjega, kjer je spet blestel Rob McKenna. Tokrat pa si Artur žalost in obup zdravi z nakupovanjem najnovejšega Applea, prvega Maca (takrat so mu rekli še Macintosh), zada si nalogo da bo našel svoje domovanje v Islingonu iz časov, ko je pet let prebival na prazgodovinski zemlji. Če mu to uspe in če nam uspe ostati politično korektni in uravnoteženi, pa v tokratni epizodi.

The original Apple Macintosh, often referred to as the Macintosh 128K, was a revolutionary device because it brought the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the mouse to the general public. Released in 1984, the Macintosh 128K was not the first computer with a GUI and a mouse, but it was the first to be priced within the realm of possibility for regular users. Despite its significance, the original incarnation of the machine did not sell well due to several design and technical limitations. In this episode we discuss the significance of the original Macintosh, its ethos, and its limitations. Show Notes Episode 21: How have UIs Evolved? Episode 22: Why was the IBM PC a Big Deal?

Sony Walkman: Before the iPod effectively killed off an entire industry, the Sony Walkman was the original, must-have portable cassette player. Unlike portable radio players, the Japan-made Walkman allowed people to choose what to listen to via portable headphones, and make playlists on tape, alongside FM and AM radio frequencies. Like with Texas Instrument’s Speak and Spell, the first model hit shelves in the late 1970s, but it rose to prominence during the two decades that followed. So ubiquitous it became that the word Walkman even entered the English dictionary in 1986. The model pictured is the WM-F77. 57. Nokia-Mobira Cityman 900: These days, the mobile phone is so far advanced we barely even call it a mobile phone any more, but back in the '80s the sheer thought of carrying a phone any further than the length of a coiled plastic chord seemed fantasy at best. Then along came a handful of firms, including a certain Finnish outfit by the name of Nokia-Mobira and made portable phone calls an actual reality. Looking back the sheer size of it is almost laughable (18cm high and 760g in weight to be precise), but it was practically lightweight compared to the colossal Talkman, which weighed in at shocking 5.5kg! Still, it put Nokia on the map and set the stage for the firm's dominance to come in the late '90 and early '00s. 58. The Boombox: Much like the VHS player, the humble Boombox was more of a collective movement than the work of one particular model, but it still became one of the most iconic devices of the late '80s. Again, to keep things on message with this feature, the classic Boombox wasn't just a powerful all-in-one music player (with AM/FM radio and multiple cassette decks) it was also a portable music player (if you were willing to lug it around). While its size and battery-powered portability eventually saw it go the way of the dodo in and around the mid '90s, the 'ghetto blaster' became intertwined with the rise of hip hop in the States and secured itself a place in the annals of gadget lore. 59. Sharp pocket computer: The 1980s was the decade of the microprocessor, led by the likes of Sharp and its range of pocket computers. These gadgets resembled calculators but worked in a similar way to how we use keyboards on modern-day PCs and laptops. Below a 24-digit dot matrix LCD display sat a full QWERTY-style keyboard you could use to program BASIC code. The computer’s battery was said to last 200 hours and it even came with a connector that let you attach a printer or tape drive. 60. Epson ET-10 Pocket TV: If you haven't already twigged, there's a bit of a pattern forming with this feature - good ol' portability. From music on the move to phone calls away from home, handheld technology helped define the decade and every single one that's followed. And so, it was the turn of the humble TV, already shrinking as a regular set, to get the micro treatment. The ET-10 from Epson was one of the first, and the most popular, with its two-inch liquid crystal display offering proper TV viewing while out and about (and in a decent spot to catch the analogue signal). With a five-hour battery, the ET-10 was a proper little dynamo and foreshadowed the portable TV experience we take for granted now with tablets and smartphones. 61. Casio Databank: It’s a testament to just how cool and iconic the Casio Databank watches became - they’re still sold in various models and designs today. One of the original models of this calculator watch, the gold version of the DBC 610 (pictured), was first released in 1985 and later re-released due to popular demand. The designs of these modern versions have barely deviated from the original and still feature a membrane keyboard, with Mode and Adjust physical buttons on the side. 62. Gaming Tech 63. Nintendo Entertainment System: Another iconic Japanese import of the 1980s was the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES. A remodeled version of the company’s Family Computer, or Famicom, the 8-bit NES was originally designed to be a joint venture between Nintendo and Atari until a dispute over licensing meant Nintendo decided to go it alone. It helped lift the gaming industry out of the slump of 1983 by offering easier-to-use controllers, standardized graphics and a wider variety of game genres. It brought hugely popular arcade games, including Donkey Kong, to home TVs. 64. Nintendo Game Boy: Fresh off the success of its Nintendo Entertainment System, the Japanese giant launched a handheld version of is 8-bit console called the Nintendo Game Boy in 1989. It effectively used the same A and B controls and D pad seen on the NES, positioned below a 4.7cm x 4.3xm “pea soup” green LCD display. Using ROM cartridges also similar in design to those used on the NES, these games could be inserted and removed on the back of the device. The Game Boy ran on four AA batteries and was an incredibly robust console, making it a popular choice among kids. The Game Boy and its successor the Game Boy Color have sold in excess of 118 million units and spawned several later models, namely the Game Boy Lite and Game Boy Advance. 65. Simon: Another classic from the 1980s that is still sold today is the Simon game. Named after the Simon Says game, the toy’s premise is simple – the colored panels light up and you must repeat the pattern and tones it creates. Yet despite this simple gameplay, it was a great feat of engineering at the time of release in 1978 and became a pop culture icon during the 1980s. 66. Speak and Spell: One of the world’s first handheld PCs and gaming consoles, the educational Speak and Spell from Texas Instruments was unveiled during the 1978 Consumer Electronic Shows. Its visual display was among the first of its kind and it used interchangeable cartridges to let children play different games, aimed at helping to improve their spelling and vocabulary. It became one of the iconic toys of the 1980s until its final model was released in 1992, and its use of the first single-chip microcontroller and speech synthesizer paved the way for many of the gadgets we use today. 67. Social Media Tech 68. Polaroid Sun AF 660: Polaroid cameras have seen a resurgence of late, thanks in part to the release of a classic-looking digital model called One Step Plus. Yet the original designs, such as the Polaroid Autofocus Lightmixer 660 pictured, can still be found on auction sites selling for decent sums. Part of the Polaroid 600 series, the Autofocus 660 (also known as the AF 660) had an 116mm lens and was the first in the range to use Polaroid's patented Sonar Autofocus technology. This system used sensors to establish how far away a subject was, using sonar pulses, to achieve an accurate autofocus shot. 69. Computing Tech 70. Apple Macintosh 128K: Long before Steve Jobs debuted the iPhone on stage in Cupertino in 2007, his company specialized in personal computers. The first of which was known as the Apple Macintosh. It was later renamed the Macintosh 128K to differentiate it from its successor, the Macintosh 512K. Released to great fanfare in 1984, Alien director Ridley Scott created the now-infamous advert for the computer, broadcast during that year’s Superbowl. The Macintosh 128K got its name by the fact it ran on 128K of RAM. It had a 9in CRT monitor, single-sided floppy disk drive and featured a handle on the top that meant it could be moved from place to place. 71. Smart Home Tech 72. The Clapper: Sadly not every gadget that came out of the '80s set the precedent for a bloodline of tech to come, but hey, there's something pretty satisfying about clapping your hands (or whichever body parts you preferred using) to turn off a lamp. Plugging into a power socket in your wall, the Clapper was basically a sound activated on/off switch that could link up to devices for hours of clap-controlled hilarity. It didn't work that great and was prone to being set off by anything from coughs to dog barks. Still, it looked good in the movies, right? 73. VHS player/VCR recorder: Okay, with so many different players that helped make VHS the preferred video format in the '80s (sorry BetaMax), it's hard to nail down particular model that made all the difference, but it just goes to prove how influential those chunky video cassettes became in the '80s and '90s. From Panasonic to JVC, all the big and aspiring electronics giants had their own player and future fortunes were made as the home video entertainment market boomed. Now you could buy films and watch them in the comfort of your home own home. More importantly, you could eventually record TV content as well. Grainy compilations of Red Dwarf and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles? Yes please! 74. Only thing missing was the internet 75. Open Comments: 76. Music Scene: 77.

Featured Artist: MC Hammer, Stanley Kirk Burrell (@27 Yrs. old) 114. Childhood & Early Life: Born and raised in Oakland, California. He was the youngest of his 6 siblings and lived in a government housing project apartment in East Oakland. His father, Lewis Burrell, worked as warehouse supervisor while his mother was a secretary. Interested in baseball from his early boyhood, he spent time around the ‘Oakland Coliseum’ and entertained by dancing during the breaks. ‘Oakland Athletics’ owner, Charles Finley, watched him perform in the Coliseum’s parking lot and hired the 11-year Burrell as ‘batboy.’ Burrell’s resemblance to the baseball player ‘Hammerin’ Hank Aaron earned him the nick-name ‘Hammer.’ The ‘MC’ part came from ‘Master of Ceremonies’ as he performed at various clubs while on the road with A’s. He played baseball (second base) during high school years and wished to be a professional player but was not selected. After high school, he enlisted for US Navy and served as aviation storekeeper for 3 years. 115. Career: After being honorably discharged from the US Navy, Hammer began playing in clubs and formed ‘Holy Ghost Boys,’ a Christian rap music group with Jon Gibson. One of their songs, ‘The Wall,’ became a hit. Two former A’s player, Mike Davis and Dwayne Murphy, helped him financially to start his own record label, ‘Bust It Records.’ Hammer released his debut album, ‘Feel My Power,’ through his own label, ‘Oakland Records,’ in 1987, and the album sold over 60,000 copies. He released a single, ‘Ring ‘Em,’ and marketed it on his own. Hammer formed a troupe with dancers, musicians and vocalist, and presented stage shows and live shows at clubs. Through his album and one of his live acts, he earned a multi-album deal with the ‘Capitol Records’ in 1988. His first album through ‘Capitol,’ was the 1989 album, ‘Let’s Get It Started,’ a revised version of ‘Feel My Power.’ With its charted numbers, ‘Turn This Mutha Out,’ ‘Let’s Get it Started,’ ‘They Put Me in the Mix’ among others, the album sold more than 2 million copies and was certified double platinum. 116. Hammer toured around with his live show promoting the album and installed a recording studio at the back of this tour bus, where he recorded songs. His next album, ‘Please, Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em,’ was brought out on February 12, 1990. The single, ‘U Can’t Touch This,’ from this album proved most successful and is considered as his signature song. 117. He was a part of many TV shows and films, including cartoon-show, ‘Hammerman,’ ‘Saturday Night Live,’ ‘The Right Connections,’ ‘Deadly Rhapsody,’ ‘The Surreal Life,’ among many others. He appeared as a dance judge on the show, ‘Dance Fever’ (2003). ‘Hammertime’ (2009) was his reality TV series on ‘A&E Network,’ which dealt with his daily life. Hammer established ‘Oakland Stable’ in 1991 for thoroughbred horses. He was also involved with various business ventures from clothing lines, to tech start-up and product endorsements. Hammer sported a lavish lifestyle with a huge mansion at Fremont, California, sprawling estate and luxury cars. He also spent a large amount of money on his stage shows, staff, and relatives. With $13 million in debt, he filed for bankruptcy in 1996. In 1997, he turned to faith and became a preacher with a Christian Ministry TV show. 118. Open Comments: 119. Question: Would you rather flame out spectacularly like Hammer or low-key longevity? 120. Movie Scene: Do The Right Thing, Spike Lee 121. Breakdown: by Walker Valdez - “The film…focuses on a single day of the lives of racially diverse people who live and work in a lower-class neighborhood in Brooklyn New York. However, this ordinary day takes place on one of the hottest days of the summer. The film centers on how social class, race and the moral decisions that the characters make have a direct effect on the way people interact with each other. It starts with the film’s characters waking up to start their day and climaxes with a neighborhood riot after police officers excessively restrain and kill a young black man named Radio Raheem for fighting an older Italian American restaurant owner named Sal in his pizzeria, and then outside on the street. The film, although released in 1989, with its social commentary on the effect that race has on police brutality is just as relevant today as when it was released 26 years ago. 122. Cast was bananas! 123. Negative Review - David Denby, then writing for New York, also predicted a dire outcome…He accused Lee of creating "the dramatic structure that primes black people to cheer the explosion as an act of revenge," and concluded, “The end of this movie is shambles, and if some audiences go wild, he's partly responsible." 124. The same notion crept into Joe Klein's editorial in the same issue of New York, in which he surmised as to the film's possible political effect on David Dinkins's mayoral campaign. He wrote: "Dinkins will also have to pay the price for Spike Lee's reckless new movie about a summer race riot in Brooklyn" 125. Speaking about the reviews more than 10 years later, Lee was still livid: "What the fuck is that?... What he's saying is, 'Pray to God that this film doesn't open in your theater, (because) niggers are gonna go crazy.'" Lee points out that white audiences aren't presumed to "go crazy" over far more violent action films, "but we're such mental midgets that we can't tell the difference between what's on screen and what's in real life?" 126. Positive Review - Roger Ebert: “I have been given only a few filmgoing experiences in my life to equal the first time I saw “Do the Right Thing.” Most movies remain up there on the screen. Only a few penetrate your soul. In May of 1989 I walked out of the screening at the Cannes Film Festival with tears in my eyes. Spike Lee had done an almost impossible thing. He'd made a movie about race in America that empathized with all the participants. He didn't draw lines or take sides but simply looked with sadness at one racial flashpoint that stood for many others.” 127. Question: What is the right thing to do in the face of systemic social injustice? 128. TV Scene: The Arsenio Hall Show 129. Arsenio Hall (@ 33 yrs. old) is a famous American comedian, actor and talk show host who gained his fame from the show ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ that aired from the year 1989 to 1994 and 2013 to 2014. Born and raised in Cleveland, as a child, Arsenio used to perform magic tricks. He joined and graduated from Warrensville Heights High School and later pursued his higher education from Kent State University. 130. Early Profession and Career: “Arsenio was a passionate and determined child from childhood and wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. During his early career days, he went to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy. He has appeared on Thicke of the Night as an announcer, besides, Alan Thicke. Arsenio appeared on numerous talk shows which made him popular among the audiences. However, he reached in a prominent place in the talk show genre when he got an opportunity to host his own show ‘The Arsenio Hall Show.’ The late-night show was a hit. 131.

We're joined again by Trevor Martin to to continue our deep dive into Apple's 1984 commercial.

Stefaan Lesage, @stefaanlesage op Twitter of via de Devia website. Gast Wammes Witkop, bekend in Nederland van het MSX Computer Magazine en tegenwoordig PC-Active Feestje! Een speciale opname deze keer. Ter gelegenheid van de 45e podcast gaan we terug in de tijd. Onderwerpen zijn deze keer per panellid: Stefaan: Commodore lanceert na de Vic20 de Commodore 64. De Amiga werd geboren in 1987 Schrijft zijn eerste echt applicatie ... een kennis zijn videotheek / kledingzaak draaide volledig op een Amiga (alles in AmigaBasic geschreven). Marco: Zijn 1e computer: Goldstar FC200 MSX1 - later opgevolgd door MSX2, MSX2+, TurboR Flop van het decennium op computer (marketing) gebied: Elan Enterprise -- technisch mooi, marketing flop - uiteindelijk meeste in hongarije - ISBASIC - meerdere programma's in geheugen mogelijk (toen uniek) De jaren 80 computerclubs en scenes - FAC (Federation Against Commodore) - MSX Gebruikersclubs - kopieren van diskettes - demo's Cindy: Game & Watch brengt Mickey Mouse uit op Wide Screen, een jaar later volgt Donkey Kong Jr op New Wide Screen. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet is Egg uit 1981, waarbij je eieren opvangt die door kippen gelegd worden. Dokter Bibber onder de kerstboom in 1984. Blijkt een game uit 1965 te zijn, maar dat doet er niet toe hé. 1997 Abo bij eerste internetprovider Ping Davy: In november brengt Casio een high-end G-Shock uit, de codenaam is momenteel de Frogman. In augustus 1995 brengt Nintendo de Virtual Boy uit! Op 7 mei 1997 brengt Intel de Pentium II uit. Kan ik eindelijk mijn Pentium Pro vervangen! Kloksnelheden zullen tot 266 MHz gaan, wat véél meer is dan de huidige 200 Mhz van de Pro en bevat dezelfde technologie, de P6-core. Maarten: De Motorola DynaTAC wordt uitgebracht In 1984 komt de eerste echte Apple Mac, de Macintosh 128K uit. Jan: Nintendo brengt de gameboy op de markt. Ik heb mijn eerste e-verslaving Bij ons komt ergens in 1996-1997  de eerste modem binnen. Een 56K. Ik ontdek het internet, mail en alles. Lancering van Google in 1997, ik gebruikte altavista nog voor afbeeldingen, ik herinner me dat google daar in het begin niet zo goed in was. Wammes: In de jaren 80 waren de computerbeurzen heel groot - ooit klein begonnen, begin jaren tachtig, toen geëxplodeerd. Verkeer rond Utrecht liep vast in 1989 tijdens de HCC-dagen. Ook in België elk weekend meerdere grote verkoopbeurzen. En dat alles stortte weer ineen met WWW. Van eng tot algemeen - begin jaren tachtig werd je zcheef aangekeken als je computers leuk vond. Die dingen waren eng en dat was jij ook, als je dat anders zag. Nerds en Geeks werden echt omheen gelopen. Sinclair kondigt geheugenuitbreiding aan voor ZX81. Op 5 maart 1981 verscheen de ZX81 in de winkels, een homecomputer met 1 kB RAM geheugen. Waarvan een groot deel voor het scherm gebruikt werd, je had echt maar een paar honderd bytes vrij. Wat waren we blij met de gelijktijdig gelanceerde geheugenuitbreiding van 16 kB! Werd achterop geklikt, rechtstreeks op een aansluiting van het moederbordje. En owee als je gefrustreerd door de verschrikkelijke membraamtoetsjes te hard ging tikken - een wiebeltje van die cartridge en de handel resette zichzelf: weg je werk. Vaak opslaan op een cassetterecorder was overigens ook geen echte optie... WINNEN! Deze keer kan je ook een mooie prijs winnen: 1 x Een DVD collectors set "Back to The Future". 5 x De Tech45 aflevering op cassette. 5 x topups bij Mobile Vikings Om kans te maken dien je de jaartallen van het 1e onderwerp genoemd door de vaste panelleden (Stefaan, Maarten, Cindy, Davy, Jan en Marco) op te tellen en de uitkomst te tweeten met de hashtag #tech45. Meedoen kan tot maandag 7 februari middernacht. Winnaars worden de volgende aflevering bekend gemaakt. Diegene met als 1e het juiste antwoord mag kiezen, de rest wordt verloot onder de juiste inzendingen. Tips Marco tipt Commodore 64 (iTunes link), een C64 emulator voor je iPhone. Jan tipt Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Stefaan vind Dashkards handig, cheatsheets voor mac en webapps. Davy tipt Super Mega Worm (iTunes link), een hilarische game voor iPhone/iPad. Cindy raadt het gebruik van Send To Dropbox aan. Gewoon bestanden mailen die in je Dropbox terecht komen. Handig! Wammes waarschuwt potentiele kopers van computers met een Intel Sandy Bridge liever te wachten, vanwege een nogal nare bug. Feedback Het Tech45-team apprecieert alle feedback die ingestuurd wordt.
