hey everyone I'm Molly would welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week Netflix is in hot water again fun with neuroscience and cat videos reach a new viral high but first the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the Wi-Fi equipped panasonic lumix dmc FX 90c point-and-shoot cameras are pretty much losing out to smartphones everywhere because duh you can't share the photos easily sdcard dance out Instagram to Facebook in seconds in so yay for the lumix which has Wi-Fi plus all the good point and shoot camera quality for just three hundred bucks winner kind of i mean the Wi-Fi settings are kind of impossible to use and actually the image quality is pretty crappy especially in low light but you know what I'm so happy to see Wi-Fi showing up and point and shoot cameras that I'm just going to be encouraging on this one good start Panasonic keep it up and now for the news amazon just announced a new streaming video deal with Viacom that brings Comedy Central MTV Nickelodeon vh1 and other shows to its instant streaming library amazon now has about 15,000 titles for streaming triple what it had when it launched a year ago and near as i can tell that's about the same amount as netflix has oh also verizon is teaming up with coinstar owner of the red box boxes to deliver on-demand streaming video on the web and on mobile phones now considering that amazon already killed bookstores and redbox killed video stores if I were Netflix I'd be thinking the mayans were right about 2012 at least for Netflix too bad they've kind of been having a good year so far Mobile World Congress starts at the end of februari in Barcelona and Nokia's plans are already trickling out basically the plans are win or die a Nokia vice president told a swedish newspaper that the company's entire plan is Windows Mobile period that is plan a and Plan B and there is no plan C the company is planning some kind of high-end phone release and I at least and mostly just hoping for no embarrassing crying or begging that's messy us unemployment there's an app for that according to a study released by technet the so-called app economy has generated an estimated four hundred sixty-six thousand jobs since the iphone debuted in 2007 and honestly if you told me ten years ago that a company could make a ton of money on a game for your phone where you use your finger to fling birds at obviously not code approved structures I would have checked it for a crack pipe turns out anything can be an economy and neuro scientists with the Royal Society in the UK issued a report this week that basically says to governments and the neuroscience community itself hey dudes you need to be careful with this stuff they say neuroscience should be used for good like making people think better or treating their post-traumatic stress disorders but when it comes to experimenting with super soldier stuff like actually making people smarter or making them need less sleep or creating little implants that let people actually sense the heat of an object or a person in the same room as them tread carefully tread carefully really we can turn people into real-life captain america and you think that a strongly worded report is going to stop any government anywhere from doing stupid irresponsible crap that leads to the apocalypse have you ever seen a movie any movie and now it's time to relax with what's clogging the tubes this week it's kittens on live streaming video wait for it with remote control toys that you can control friskies launched a facebook campaign featuring a live-streamed kitty play house with like 10 adorable kittens in it and it gives you the chance to play with three toys and then control the cameras while the kiddies play with your toys and you thought March Madness was a productivity killer plus when people weren't watching the live stream they were dreaming up ways to set up their own live streaming webcams with remote controls at their own houses which come to think of it Brian Cooley already did a how-to on that I think and that's it for this week everyone I'm Mollywood and thank you for you
