I went on the show “Bageltech BIG” this last week. I joined Ewan Rankin, Troy King, Sarah Jane and Andy McCaskey to talk about news and cool stuff.

Bageltech News is a daily rundown of news in IT and Bageltech BIG is a weekly show with a panel. Big topics were the Schools Laptop privacy issues, MWDC, Flying police drones, RFID on phones, Who owns Lindsay Vaughn and weekly picks.

A fun hour of discussion between the four of us. You can check out Bageltech BIG here:

This week we look at:

• Windows Phone 7 (Formerly Windows Mobile 7) and what it might mean to smartphones
• Google Buzz Sued over privacy issues. I found this one on Google Buzz.
• HBO Go shows us that at least Pay TV channels get it
• Social Networking in Microsoft Outlook – Good idea, or will the IT department just block it?
• Happy 20th birthday Adobe Photoshop!
