It is time,...  [Read More...]

    Minnov8 Gang 398 – Can I Go Thru Your Underwear Drawer?

    This past week a Minnesota judge signed a search warrant for anyone who did a Google search for someone who defrauded an Edina bank. Besides being outrageously broad as a warrant—anybody who searched on this guy’s name for legitimate reasons would be under suspicion and could be brought in for questioning—is likely violating our Constitution’s 4th...  [Read More...]

    Minnov8 Gang 397 – Geek Squad Spies?

    Minnesota’s own big box tech retailer, Best Buy, sees its Geek Squad in the news since the FBI Used Best Buy’s Geek Squad To Increase Secret Public Surveillance.

    Minnov8 Gang 396 – Can Target & Best Buy Weather Retail Storm?

    We cover the Minnesota tech stories of the week including disappointing earnings from both Target and Best Buy over the holiday period. Can they compete with Amazon and other online sources?

    Minnov8 Gang 395 – Can Tech Save The News?

    Several good tech stories this week but, once again, we dust-off our “Gang Mentality” segment to ponder a question after the president of the United States inaccurately calls out major news organizations as “fake”. That question is: Will technology provide the answer to real vs. fake news, or will it take human intervention? Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott...  [Read More...]

    Minnov8 Gang 394 – Give Up Your Passwords at the U.S. Border

    Are you a U.S. citizen? Then you should know that, if you travel internationally, when you come back to the U.S. you may be forced to reveal your device passwords (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop) as well as providing U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers with passwords to your social media and other accounts. Farfetched? Nope…read...  [Read More...]

    Minnov8 Gang 393 – Advisor to President Trump

    Tim and Steve could only imagine what it would be like if Phil Wilson was an advisor to Donald Trump. Would we all have healthcare? Would he build a wall around Lakeville where Tim lives? We can only speculate, but let’s not, and instead go on and talk about technology! Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott and...  [Read More...]
