hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the bus report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week it's white iphones apple's doing a phone company again and badass exoskeletons but first it's the gadget of the week the edge of the week is that elusive unicorn of the tech world the white iphone yeah they say it's going to come out this time like a year after it was announced and we're not talking about it because it's going to have super mega cool new features or it will transform into a Decepticon or anything like that it's just that if it comes out we can stop talking about it according to a tweet from an apple senior VP the white iphone will will arrive this spring so either that gives Apple until about the middle of june or we'll hear about them petitioning to extend spring into around november and now for the news back to Apple which continues to carpet bomb the tech world with lawsuits this week they have filed a copyright and patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung over the galaxy phones and tablets I mean it's not that surprising Samsung does make Android products we know how Apple feels about those also the galaxy s does look exactly like an iphone 3gs but here's what's weird samsung also makes a bunch of components for apple yeah no matter what happens any company partner holiday parties between those two are going to be awkward speaking of apple security researchers this week reported that the iphone and 3g ipad have been secretly making a record of everywhere you go and when you go there and then storing that data in an unencrypted file on all your devices haha no one knows why Apple at press time had not responded to questions about it but basically anyone who gets your phone or accesses your computer via a jealous ex your boss or a private investigator can now uncover an incredibly detailed record about all your whereabouts so that's awesome that's why i have an android phone because google would never collect information about everything you do all the time and store it in a gigantic database that's destined to become self-aware and maybe even already has wait second more on that in a minute in other news match.com says it will now screen its members and check them against a national sex offender registry this comes on the heels of a class-action lawsuit filed against the company by two women who said they were sexually assaulted by men they met on match com now on the surface this seems like a good idea kind of surprised they were doing it sooner on the other hand if you use a fake name or a fake address or you have the same name as someone on the sex offender registry list hilarity will not ensue buyer beware all right now for some happy news from the science is freaking amazing Department comes a story about a man who has been in a wheelchair for 20 years but with the help of a kick-ass exoskeleton from Argo medical technologies he was able to walk again and even go up and down stairs and about Lee bicycles it's just the third post and the episode last week the ReWalk exoskeleton should be available by the end of this year it costs 150 grand the battery looks like a backpack but it lasts 48 hours and it's nice to see technology helping people isn't it and for a look at technology casually enslaving people let's see what's clogging the tubes this week if you noticed your computer's acting a little squirrely lately it might be Skynet that's right the evil sentient computer intelligence that dominates the world in the Terminator movies was scheduled to become self-aware Tuesday night at eight eleven pm it's not scheduled to attack until april 21st so we might have a few hours left it's actually got quite the ominous twitter feed um but actually we already survived the real self-awareness moment considering that in Terminator 2 Skynet gain self awareness on August twenty-ninth 1997 and the new date comes from terminator the sarah connor chronicles TV show come on you guys know your nerd trivia or but wait maybe it's an alternate timeline pretty sneaky Google I mean Skynet and that's it for this week everyone and possibly forever I'm Molly wood and thank you for watching when you tell you about my daughter this time it's a meaty stand is a family father you told
