Once again, it's time for the show that has no jingles, no
commercials, no music, no talent, and most certainly no
agenda produced on a Skype of phonic transcontinental
connection. It's the ultimate oral friends with benefits from
the manor just south of London. I'm Adam curry.
And I'm John C. Dvorak in Northern California.
Hey, John, how you doing? It's a Saturday evening for Me Saturday
morning, afternoon for you.
Yeah, sitting around noon now. The actually it's noon. But you
notice our connections a little weird. Now. I'm wondering if has
anything to do with thanksgiving? Everybody took
took off this weekend? You think that connection listen to us
would be a little better? Well, I'm not not sure.
You know, the connections over here in the UK. i We have such
varying quality. And it's a it's really it's a country wide
problem. So I would say it's probably on my end, if anything.
And of course I've got two women in the House who love watching
YouTube videos.
Well, that's not good.
No, it's not good. Hey, man, dominating the news. Here in the
UK. Do you know what it is? No. What? Tell me it's the missing
25 million records on DVD and CD. ROMs.
Yeah, we actually blogged that thing on the divorce iq.org/blog
blog. 25. Yeah, I know the apparently what happened there
that will give you the story. From what we've heard, even
though it's hardly big news here. We just kind of you know,
it's not it was not about what's going on here. We don't care
that much. But it sounds as though somebody in the
government sent two CD ROMs in the mail. I guess they just
dropped them off into the one of the boxes on the corner. And
they never got delivered. There's no receipts or anything.
So they don't know where they are. And they're worried sick.
Although the discs apparently were encrypted. I don't see what
the big what the fear is?
Well, there's a couple there's a couple things going on with
this. First of all, there's been talk of a national identity card
in the UK for quite a while now. So this is more about what
happens with your data. What is the government doing with your
data? Is there any privacy which of course is really interesting
for a country that has, I don't know 20 30,000 cameras hanging
everywhere, you can't take a crap without, you know, a CCTV
camera capturing it. So privacy concerns put aside, this was
part of a coming clean in Parliament on the side of the of
the Labour Party, where I know there's been all kinds of little
scandals that have taken place. And I guess, you know, this
this, I don't think they actually put it in the mail.
They it was supposed to be delivered by TNT, which is kind
of the, you know, FedEx type service in Europe.
And the story I read was it was put in the mail.
I don't I have a feeling that it just got lost inside the
incident inside some government mailroom, and it didn't actually
leave the building. But even so, I mean, to think that, you know,
this is the only disk that has ever been burned that this came
from the only person who has access to those records. I mean,
there's not one single computer expert has been, you know, on TV
or in a newspaper or anyone who actually knows how the
government records are handled, it's just all all it is, is it's
big jokes about the missing CDs, of course, every everyone who
has a, an opportunity to do a joke about it on television or
the newspapers just continuously fool. But it has nothing to do
with the actual data. I think it's it has everything to do
with the national ID card. And the fact that this, of course,
is what's coming out. Now these reports that identity fraud is a
big deal, and that it's very easy to steal someone's identity
and go shopping on the internet.
So your concern is about, they're going to have a national
identity card and they're going to collect even more data in and
out but they're so careless with this data that these people
should be tarred and feathered.
Exactly. So the bottom line is, you know, we can't trust the
government with with our data. But I think that's what's really
going on here. Everyone's talking about it. That's front
page along with, of course, Madeleine McCann, that just
doesn't stop. You know, the seven year old kid who was
abducted in from in Portugal. Yeah, where they think was
abducted doesn't stop the story has been in front page for it's
like six months already.
Well, we fought against that story by by reintroducing our
story about the girl who was who disappeared in Aruba.
Oh, you're right, Holloway. That's right. That's the judge
the Dutch
by net story with our own material.
We've we have a sexy chick who's been who's lost dammit. It's
better than your young child.
Exactly. So, you know, not to mention the fact that children
are missing daily.
There's 1000s and hundreds of 1000s of children you know,
starving to death in in Africa. It's like, is this the only
child that matters?
Ya know, it's a funny thing that they do it. It's I remember,
there was some actually during this Aruba thing when it first
began, there was I remember some black woman coming in, you know,
young mom who lost her girl who had been abducted by they think
they knew who it was, and all the rest of it, but nobody even
cared to do the story. You know, she was a poor woman in
Tennessee or something like that. And it wasn't as
interesting as some, you know, rich girl in a room, I mean, it
but didn't get covered at all. And she said, You know, I got no
attention. You know, it's weird the way they just focus on a few
things that get, you know, they get promoted, it's almost like
so a PR agent is somewhere in the back room of the news
organisations. You know, there's a much better story for you as
we get our circulation up. And
oh, that's exactly, exactly the way it's it's happening. There's
no doubt about it. In fact, today, there was a story that
came out about the McCanns. And there were several experts, of
course, you know, new slant on the story saying, probably
because the McCanns had money and they fund was started and
people donated money, and they got a lot of attention. For that
very reason. The child is probably dead, because anyone
who abducted the child would have just wanted to get rid of
it and be done with the whole situation. So that's the new
slant on the story.
Yeah, well, is probably it's I mean, there's some logic to
that. But you know, I don't think it's necessary that people
were going to go from being not murderers to being murderers
just because of some new thing. But I, but I'm sure it gives
everybody all enraged.
Yeah, it's it just enrages me. I feel really bad for the family.
And yeah, it really sucks. But this this cannot remain front
page news. This is dumb.
Yeah, well, what I mean, I don't know, you know, this is this
happened, I think the real trend or I'm reminded of the days when
I was working for MSNBC, on a show that they established when
Microsoft first bought the company, or I mean, first formed
the company with NBC. That's what MS stands for. A lot of
people have long since forgotten. I mean, I remember I
was there. And so they started this thing up. And then they
wanted to do because Microsoft was involved. They want to do
some tech stuff. So they did this, this this show called the
site. And the site starred Soledad O'Brien. And she was on
the facts fast track to become a NBC news anchor. And so they
gave her this gig. So she could like do a little practice.
Although she eventually she got sidelined by some other ethnic
looking woman. And ended up having I think she went to see
an ad or something like that, but solely that was really a
nice, one of the nicest people I've ever mentioned. So
hopefully, she'll, she'll get back on the fast track. I don't
know why they took her off of it. But that happens all the
time. Not to change the subject. But we have a woman here in KPI
X, who used to be network. It's CBS and then Dana king. And I
saw her when she was doing some network stuff. And she had like,
big time news personality written all over her. She
apparently did something amiss. And then they they gave her the
signing or to the local owned and operated affiliate sites,
you know, the, the KPI X station as a news anchor here is kind of
punishment. And has she been stuck here ever since now? I
don't think she can ever break away. But she was like, you
know, this is where the show business thing is, is
disconcerning But back to the MS NBC story. So anyway, they had
to show that they developed because Microsoft's pushing them
called the site and it had sold as anchor and I did some work
going on there. And Leo Laporte had a segment and we did some
debates, and it's the same, you know, usual suspects,
you guys are such media horrors, you'll do anything?
Well, you know, they were paying us Okay, anyways,
unlike unlike prostitutes, they were paying you
well, that you made a good point. Anyway, so, you know,
it's like, what's the difference? So anyway, did they
Diana got killed, as you recall. Yeah. Princess Diana. And they
started covering it 24/7 With pretty meaningless coverage on
MSNBC. And their ratings went through the roof. Sure, of
course they did. Yep. And so they killed this killed this
site. And they killed every other thing that they that was
like celebrity you know, but kissing whatever you want to
call it kind of programming. And of course the site you know, the
place has never recovered and they because you can't keep
covering Diana forever. They tried and and they went right
back into the dumper that it was in to begin with and then
meanwhile, they throw out any possible interesting properties
that they had started anyway that this kind of decision
making at this kind of level is always been disconcerting to me.
It's Have you ever read the society of the spectacle?
And by the way, just do a punch line to that last story. We
would have covered Diane if they'd let us Fuck yeah. No, I I
don't think we would have gotten a ratings way up. So no, I
didn't read that. I do
have this shipped and I'm working here we go. Oh, there
you go. That's the point. We got a we got a phone call. You want
to hear some feedback because I don't know who this the people
are. This guy's talking about what to listen. Hello? Yeah,
here we go.
Adam Hey moose in Lawrenceville, California here I just finished
listening to no agenda for and fired up. DSP six Niner zero.
Want to tell you man, you and John Dvorak hit it off so
perfectly. Like you guys have been talking with each other.
For the last 2030 years as a as a talk, radio gene, we we have a
local team like that, that actually simulcasts in the Bay
Area. A local radio station, and she guys hit it off equally as
well as they do. I don't know if you've listened to him. They're,
they're on here in the Bay Area and in the Bay Area from six
till 10am. But just want to tell you, man,
I thought he actually would tell us who they were thinking my
message and
this up, and you need to get a good theme for that. I don't
care if you say there's no theme. You need a good
crab. I'm sorry, John. I thought he actually mentioned who he was
talking about it No idea.
Well, you know, there's a million teams that work from six
to 10am. Because you know, someone willing to stay awake?
Yeah. We
know what makes us work together. Timing.
Indeed, I got the Nokia and 10 Ah, you would oh my goodness,
this thing is disclaimer, by the way. Well, I'm hoping to get
have pod show people to sell these at some beautiful
discount, just like our GoDaddy stuff. But I wouldn't sell it if
I didn't really like it. This thing is fucking amazing. It's
very close to what it has to be. Why? Well, I'll tell you why.
Because the web browser really does everything. And when I mean
everything, it's Gmail, including the shortcuts, it's
got a slide out keyboard. So you can hit the J key and they'll go
to I'm a big gmail user. And docks works as well, perfectly.
You know, it's fast. It just you know how it's hard to explain.
But you know how Windows Mobile particularly just feels kind of
like a loose bucket of nuts and bolts, you know, the way that
Windows pop open and how buttons react and
you just have, it was written in forth. Yeah,
it's a bit like the difference between a Mac and Windows, there
is something in the way the user interface functions that just
makes it feel better. I can't quite explain what it is. But
there's, with the Mac, it always feels snappier,
snappier, smoother, a little more sophisticated. So I was a
big user of the n 800. And this 810 is literally that that kind
of difference. And it also looks nice. It's you know, has kind of
an executive sheen to it now. It's just amazing.
What did they sell for?
It's expensive. I think it's like 450 bucks. Not cheap at
all.
I use Berners. Lee's Trac phones, Virgin Mobile, those
kinds of things, that things you can throw away the things you
have to worry about losing if you leave it on the plane. Who
cares?
By the way, this isn't a phone. It's only it's an internet
tablet, there's no phone built into it. It's just Wi Fi. You
can Oh, it's just yeah, it's there's no phone at all.
Okay, I've seen pictures, right. I just I think we may have
blogged this. I saw pictures of this thing recently. Right,
right, right. Right. Right. It's like a really small tablet.
And it's, it's built on it's built on Linux. So it's open
source and you can build whatever you want. And you know,
Python runs on it. So interesting. People are creating
interesting applications that of course open source and you know,
are you gonna go no, you get you get what you pay for. But what
they've done a lot though, they're seeding a lot of the of
this application development and the basics. They had expecting
I'd have Skype it has, as I said, it has the perfect Mozilla
compatible browser. So you know, Gmail reader, another thing that
I use a lot, you can use the full blown version is it that's
pretty hot shit. I mean, that's really all that I wanted. It's
just to have a real web browser that I can really use anywhere.
to slip it in my pocket. I'm amazed by this.
I'm gonna have to get one including flash.
It does flash at night when you pop open, like the pod show.com
dashboard. You know, the videos will play right in the browser
right on the screen. So the iPhone doesn't even do that.
I'm gonna have to get one to two is the screen bigger than the
iPhone screen? Hold on.
I have both of them here. Let me check Hold on one second. I just
move over to this mic. Oh, I'm Now overlaying one on top of the
other. Oh, yeah. Oh, the screen is probably an inch wider on the
810. But it's small. But the iPhone itself isn't that much
smaller than the na 10. I mean, it would if it was, it would fit
right into it, basically. But the screen real estate on the
810 is definitely bigger. It's nice. I'm really well impressed.
I'll have to get hold of all the one. You coming into town next
week?
Yeah, actually, I'm flying out tomorrow. So I'll be answering
the phone.
I'll bring that this. Of
course. I'm gonna bring it of course. I'm gonna it has GPS in
it too. Which is neat.
Yes, the black helicopters can track you. Hey, what's
up with the? Yeah, right? What's up with Pakistan?
What a mess that places. What is it
really? How can we how can the US isn't doing anything? Is our
administration basically keeping, keeping this guy in
place and agreeing with everything? Because it's better
to know the dictator than not know the dictator?
Well, you know, if you read enough of the documentation over
the years of our relationship with Pakistan, we've always
given them a lot more money when they had a dictator. And then
when they had someone elected. Yeah, and I don't think that we
liked the situation because it looks pretty, you know, it looks
onerous, but I'm sure a lot of backchannel grousing going on,
and they're trying to, you know, but Musharraf, it looks like
he's going to do what he's going to do. And what choice do we
have? You know, except the bomb. I mean, we're not gonna do that.
No, but it feels like it feels like a setup where, you know,
there's gotta be all kinds of crap going on in Pakistan. And
then of course, fingers are gonna be pointed at Iran,
because there'll be all kinds of people crossing in and out of
the border, and they'll be all kinds of claims and all kinds of
proof and testimony and satellite pictures you watch.
And then we're gonna go and bomb the Iran nuclear facility. Yeah,
I know, that seems to be in the cards, but it seems like the
setup
man it just it's I don't know, it seems clear to me and see
it's so raw. It's so fucking wrong. Well, usually,
if it's clear to you, Adam is not what it is. The American
subterfuges tend to be to trick you, me too, by the way, and
everybody else into thinking one thing and then having something
else happen because it seems to me that everybody can
deconstructed so easily is obviously know what's what's
actually taking place? Well, yes
and no, because as a as a pilot, as an airman, you know, the
first thing you learn is, you know, look for the big things on
the map. So, you know, one of the in all early training of all
people who want to learn how to fly your instructor will put
down a map and say, Okay, we're gonna go from this point to that
point, tell me what obstructions are in our path and of course
what you do is you look at all the electricity masts and you
know any radio towers and look at the height and see if you're
gonna be okay and then you know, invariably the the instructor
and says, Well, how about this big fucking mountain you're
about to fly right into you didn't see that? And of course,
the most obvious things you said you don't always see so I'm, I'm
kind of trained to look at at big things and and I think that
the quite the opposite of what you're saying is that you know,
the it these guys in the administration become so bold,
it's just easier to do it right out in the open and make up a
different story and create a diversion for that.
It's a good thing. It's good thinking it's possible. I mean,
I'm not saying that's impossible. I'm just not seeing
as bombing Iran, to be honest about I mean, it is it looks
like it's in the cards, but that says to me, it's not going to
happen. I don't think they're they're not doing the build up
the same way they did with these other things. There's not enough
phoney baloney information coming out. I know what you're
saying is show some satellite data and all the rest of it, but
I think the Iranians are aware of this kind of trickery, and I
think they're going to do everything they can to keep keep
from getting bombed. I don't think they particularly want to
be bombed. I mean, it seems to me
you think Damn, everyone's really everyone's really
disappointed here and in Britain, John, because we've
been kicked out of the euro 2008 football competition. Why? Well
because the team sucked and well of course the manager is why he
got fired the day after but but to not qualify and get kicked
out this early it's a real it's a real national tragedy
everyone's you know depressed about it.
With all those pro with those pro leagues, and all those pro
players you have in that country if you couldn't put a crummy
team together they could just qualify exactly
and this of course is the debate you know, it's like what what is
Beckham worth? You know, he came back he played I think second
half and that's exactly it. You know,
it's like American basketball players not getting into the
Olympics.
Yeah, but they're way overpaid. To funny thing about the about
the game. Tony Henry is I guess it's an opera singer, an English
opera singer, and he was tasked with singing the national
anthem. It was a game was here and think Wembley. And so we
sang the Croatian. Is it the Croatian Croat? Croatian?
Croatian anthem, quote? Croat. Well, anyway, that'd be the
Croatian anthem would have to be. So he made a mistake in the
lyrics in front of in front of 80,000 people. So here it is
from a BBC report. He should have sung Mila CUDA, C Planina.
which roughly means, you know, my dear how we love your
mountains. But instead he's saying, Mila cootie see plenty
now. Which can be interpreted as my dear, my penis is a mountain.
Wow, that's great. No wonder we lost. Man, idiots.
I always get the thing. Somebody's chain made a change.
I mean, it's almost like the guy. You know, there's all
there's always these stories and fight. I know, it's doable.
People who get in broadcasting who get really reliant on a
teleprompter? Oh, yeah, you can slip in some stuff in there. And
they'll just read it, you know, because they're just so used to
reading robot like that, they'll just read whatever it is, and I
am an idiot, I'll be back as it that I am and a half and, you
know, whatever.
I got really good at teleprompter, my MTV years. I
mean, you could you could literally be writing it by hand
underneath neon, because the old teleprompters they weren't
computer screens that were literally there was a camera
that was positioned right over a conveyor belt. And that had the
scripts that were printed out aligned specially for the shot.
And there was a guy who would literally turn this little end
little controller and it would control the speed of the motor.
So during live broadcasts, you know they would be right and
shit in there was notes all over the place. And you know,
whatever showed up, I could just interpret and I could just say
it, it's it is it's, it's like a Vulcan mind trick almost.
Yeah. Pretty funny. But the weird thing for I don't want to
get into too much inside baseball or for people don't
ever do any of this kind of work. But the weird ones we have
the teleprompter rolling on the one hand and you have an eye FB
in your ear, which is that little squiggly thing you see.
And and the yelling at you about some one other thing while
you're trying to read and you have to like squeeze in other
information, it gets quite complicated. And you can see
when people get flustered drunk on television, but my all time
favourite screw up with this sort of situation was one time I
was shooting at the Tech TV plays. I know I've got some
these anecdotes today. But anyway, Tech TV, and I'm doing
this show. So like gun spin while Leo is doing a show in the
other studio. And we're at the exact same time moment. So I'm
going to set the same clock, so we're gonna go to break at the
same time and everything else. So I start my show. And as soon
as I start my show, I'm hearing his show in my ear.
Like crowd they miss
out loud. And so he's energy and I'm trying to get I'm getting a
little you know what, I'm having enough trouble reading the
prompter with this noise in my ear. And then I finally go to
the break. I said this screw deputy I don't have the control
room. I've got the Leo show. And they all listen to nothing.
Because they're on the same commercial break we're on right
now. There's nothing there's no problem. And so we go right back
to the show and boom, video against screaming in my ear. So
the movie going
back to the launch of MSNBC. I was actually there because
Microsoft. This was just before they launched comic chat. And
they couldn't quite get it working. And it wouldn't scale.
So they hired
member count. Yeah, comic chat. That was another big mine.
So they hired my company. It was still on ramp then to do a chat.
And we basically set up like a, you know, Linux based command
line chat room with little web GUI on top of it. So it was
pretty robust. But it was who was it? Who was interviewing
Bill Clinton? Tom was a Tom Brokaw. I think now that
wouldn't it? That's probably maybe it was Yeah. Tom Brokaw
and he was interviewing Clinton and I was sitting in the control
room and I was just amazed at how he could be. Almost he was
almost moving Clinton through this through his answer just
with his body language, because the producer was continuously
saying okay, now you've got to get him to wrap this up. And we
have one more question. You have 28 seconds left until break and
so while Brokaw is, is communicating through body
language with Clinton, you know, then he's he interjects with one
final question. We like 17 seconds to go and the producers
literally counting it down as he's doing his outro into the
break. It was the most astounding thing I've ever seen
man was just fucking genius. That's why he got paid the big
bucks. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. The people who were on QVC do it
as well. You watch if you you know, because the what they're
doing they're they're continuously monitoring the
sales numbers, and they'll see an item do really well and then
you'll be like, Okay, we're gonna stay on This and talk more
about the colour or what you know they're continuously giving
the host cues in their in their ear and their eye FB and it's
really how they fine tune their sales. It's also an amazing
process to watch.
Yeah, actually, I've always wanted to see that but you can
see him doing it. What's amazing those talking heads that are on
those sales channels because they just blabbering blabber,
then it's nonstop chat. Yeah, yeah. And it's got a really
interesting colour because it's a it's a unusual version of
taupe. Don't you think? Lois? Yes, it hasn't been what kind of
like, I think we know what it reminds me of fall fashion.
2005, don't you think? Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
That brings us back to our story from last week about Marie
Osmond where I wish I had a copy of the I don't have it handy.
Anyway, we were talking about. You asked me if I thought it was
possible. Maria Osman might have orchestrated this big blow up on
Larry King and actually before that, her fainting on Dancing
with the Stars. And I and I asked Patricia right after the
show. If I
wait more backgrounder here. I said it was possible. You said
there was no way that that could ever be done. There's no that's
not the way it works is what you said. Just to give people
background.
Yeah. But then I remember specifically, John, you said, Do
you think she is capable? And I paused and I said, I don't think
so. But let me ask Patricia right.
Yeah, I guess Okay,
thank you. Thank you. As she she without, without even hesitating
for a second said absolutely. She is the most cunning woman in
showbusiness. Like even even the things that I saw her faint, so
she was laying there so pretty. That was not a normal person
fainting. She doesn't even buy that part.
Yeah, no, I thought the whole thing was, uh, but you know,
she, she never I mean, let's face it, these two people both.
I mean, I met Donnie too. And he's a really nice guy. And I
guess she's probably a really nice person too, but doesn't
mean that that they're, you know, that they don't know that
job is mavens man. Yeah. It's
a showbiz family. They know all the tricks. Yeah. And they don't
overdo it. I mean, you'd haven't seen much sense. I mean, had a
little blast, and, you know, got a few books sold and got her
mentioned on her shopping channel. And you know, she's
fine. Yeah, she's
good. She's good. We got about three, four minutes, John, you
got anything.
Now, you know, in fact, that was looking at the blog to see if
there's anything that came up in the recent stories that some
guys are bringing down. I did find it interesting. There was a
if people can check this out, it was posted on the 24th. Whenever
you hear the show, 24th of November, some just read about
this. There's a couple of American cosmologists, you know,
guys who study this kind of deep physics, investigating the
consequences of the cosmos of quantum theory, the most
successful theory, blah, blah, blah. And they said, there's an
odd feature of the theory that philosophers and scientists
still argue about. And in a nutshell, the theory suggests
that we change things simply by looking at them. And theorists
have puzzled over the implications of this. So in
other words, there's thinking, you know, you look into that,
especially watching something blow up, you're actually somehow
because of quantum theory, you're making it happen. You're
making it happen. Now, it makes sense. When you go to Oakland,
and these big black guys you look at and say, What are you
looking at? Because they know that you're, you're screwing
with them? Just by looking at him. Okay, John. Nice, my story.
You better you better be sticking to it. We should have a
What are you looking at? website?
And what are we going to do this week? I got like,
Oh my Wait, let me give you one more story. I gotta bring this
up. Not I think about it now. Okay. Okay, now, you got to go
to a John Walker's the guy who started auto CAD Autodesk,
right. Okay. And he moved to Switzerland some years ago, for
whatever reason, in beginning in the gave up his American
citizens ship in the Swiss, and he has a really weird website
that you're gonna have to do some research to find his call
for any lab or something like that. it.ch. And he has a he has
his there's a theory about some sort of can is some sort of
reverse time Kinesis. And he has a whole bunch of information
about this. And which says something. And I don't know the
exact name of the thing because I wasn't prepared. But it goes
like this. If I don't know the college score of a game that
just ended and I meditate long enough that it's a certain
score. And then I finally go look up the score, it will be
that score. I will have changed the score in time in the space
time continuum.
I'm all for that. I got some meditating. I'm looking at it
right now. It's for me lab.ch.
That's it. So but anyway, so I'm thinking like when I read this
thing about quantum theory, and it's the effect of you look at
something, you change it, I'm thinking hey, maybe it's
possible. You know, I could do you know, we could do some with
the University of California bears perhaps but unfortunately,
you already know the score, so it's too late.
So why don't we do something really big and have a medication
but we don't we have to not know what it what happened in the
first place and make it happen some funny way read the article
that he has posted there on this crazy idea. And I think it's
crackpot by the way for anyone who out there really wants to
know how I feel it's not but I think it's it's kind of fun
that's
a way to do it. Where do I find this on this site? Because I see
this is his website. Is that what this is?
Yeah, I think so. Let's see what's it for need fo
forum iLab.

It's It's like a It's like one of those old school hardcore
hacker Unix. HTML one Dotto websites.
Yeah, no, this really kind of,
I know exactly what kind of guy this is when I see you. So.
Yeah, it's
kind of actually the thing itself. It's pathetic. Let's
see, I think it would be under either consciousness on the left
hand side, he's got this little sidebar. Yeah. And it's either
under consciousness studies or nanotechnology. I think that's
what it is. I mean, look. And yeah, there it is. Retro cycle.
thesis project. Read the top read, and I'll read this for
people out there listening to the show. Retro psychokinesis is
the claim durability of certain subjects to alter random data
generated but not examined prior to the time the data are
presented to the subject crazy. You say? Well, there's certainly
no mechanism in mainstream physics which would permit such
an effect. Although I think now that this quantum thing like yet
experiments conducted by a number of different researchers
over the past 20 years suggests compellingly, according to some
analysis that the probability of the results obtained in such
experiments be obviously Walker's not a writer, being
purely a result of chance is sufficiently low that they would
be considered evidence of CAP causal mechanism in most
scientific disciplines, blah, blah, blah. So anyway, what the
hell does that mean, John? It means that there may be
something to it.
I see the probability pipe organ at the bottom of the page. I'm
so down. I'm going to I'm going to play the pipes. And we'll
compare notes next week.
Well, me and maybe users out there can check this out and
then send a surrogate go leave a message on your machine again,
it would put them on the air.
Yeah, let me let me give the let me do the voicemail number. This
will be cool. This will blow your eardrums out.
Yo, yo, what the heck was that?
That was the voicemail jingle dude. God. All right, man. Been
fun talking to you, John. We'll do it again. Next week. I'll be
in San Francisco. And I think it'd be on the west coast as
well. I hope. Yeah. Okay, from just south of London in the
curry manner. I'm Adam curry.
And I'm John C. Dvorak in California. All right, we'll
talk again next week. Take care John.
