hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the bus report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week sweet sweet honey comb the lights are back on in Egypt and you will be less naked the next time you fly but first it's the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the LG optimus 3d that's right even the phones are doing it now LG plans to show off the Optimus 3d at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week and since I won't be there and maybe you won't either let's check it out now there are hints that it will be a dual core smartphone but for sure it will have a dual lens camera for taking 3d video a 4.3 inch touchscreen capable of naked eye 3d display a 3d capable hdmi output and DLNA support for media sharing around the house LG says the phone addresses the lack of 3d content by basically being a one-stop shop for watching and creating stuff in 3d so expect early buyers to delight their friends with lots of videos of them going like this mmm I mean 3d coming at you and now for the news Egypt has restored internet access to its protesting population after plunging that connected country into the dark ages for almost a week as you probably know there's been violence and unrest in Egypt in recent days as citizens their protest over high unemployment and government corruption now the crazy part about this is that most of the world didn't even care about the Egypt protest until Egypt turned off the internet never mind that most of that population lives on like two dollars a day they have this repressive dictatorship that horribly oppresses women tortures citizens and rigs every so-called election in favour of the 30 year old authoritarian regime that's just like life over there but then they turned off the internet and the whole world

though there was a tech giant cat fight this week Google accused Microsoft of stealing their search results for Bing seriously they set up like a big sting and everything okay well it's not exactly like the Bing folks just googled everything and then copy and pasted it it's a little more complicated than that but there are a few interesting coincidences now Microsoft said they are not copying search results they are insulted by Google's accusations and they think that the Bing sting is pretty damn shady as a matter of fact although the way I see it come on they probably did copy some results in some cases you want to know why because Microsoft ain't stupid and now they're like hey Google thanks for all the free advertising after all who knew Bing was so scary in other headlines
