From absurd web beginnings to some misplaced national pride, tech folklore never disappoints. A mouthful of a name that could make even the most patient typist weep, "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web," could have single-handedly crashed Netscape Navigator. Meanwhile, the digital world's party crasher, Error 404's origin story - linked to CERN's room 404 - proves even glitches have intriguing backstories.

Join us as we unpack the irony of the word for the fear of long words. Surprise Surprise - it is a really long word - we will just call it "hippo-fear".

The first Indian podcasts were like arranged marriages - everyone was a bit awkward, and no one knew what to expect, but hey, at least the family was supportive! As podcasts gained traction, they soon had podcasts for every niche.
We've got celebrity podcasts where Bollywood stars share their deep thoughts, like how difficult it is to find the right shade of beige for their 15th luxury car. Tech-savvy grandpas are starting "back in...

Before our ancestors could argue about who left the cave door open, they were already cracking up. Laughter came way before language — it's prehistoric Wi-Fi, connecting us without a single word. And it’s not just us! Apes giggle during playtime, rats squeak with joy when tickled, and dolphins? Well, they’ve got their own aquatic stand-up routines going on. Turns out, laughter really is the original universal language — even before...

We find ourselves on the final step of our "PAIN" journey - non-repudiation (NR). As we navigate our increasingly digital lives, let's embrace the covenant of non-repudiation with open arms and cautious clicks. It is a world where "I didn't send that embarrassing email" just won't cut it anymore. In the digital realm, non-repudiation is like an online notary public of every action we take. It's the technological equivalent of your ...

So, here is what we found out about COWS. Cows are social animals. They form strong bonds and prefer staying close to their friends in the pasture, often grazing, resting, and grooming each other. Research shows that heart rates increase and stress hormone levels rise in cows that are separated from their bonded friends. BTW - a stressed cow produces less milk than a happy one.
Onto airbags and their uses. Where do you think they ...

Ever wondered how organizations keep their data squeaky clean and under lock and key? 🧹🔐 In our latest episode, we dive into the nitty-gritty of data integrity and authentication.
First up, we spill the beans on how companies ensure their data doesn't go rogue. We're talking input validation (because garbage in, garbage out), deduplication (no duplicates allowed!), data backups (better safe than sorry), access control (who's got...

Listen up, you Illuminati, Opus Dei, Freemasons, and Skull & Bones Society; there's a new secret society in town. The Order of 37 was founded by eccentric mathematicians tired of mainstream numbers getting all the glory. Pi, Fibonacci, Mersenne and the Catalan numbers were such show-offs. But 37? It was the unsung hero of the number world.
Members, known as "Threesevenians, believed that one of their own discovered that 37 was no...

Tech has a "pacing problem" (believe us - this is an accepted term 😎). Innovation is fast outpacing the ability of laws and regulations to keep up. Regulators are trying to govern Hogwarts with rules written for a Muggle school. Good luck stopping magical mischief with detention and a dress code.
Balancing benefits/risks, ethical considerations, determining liability and lack of expertise are just some of the considerations in pl...

Imagine the Indian fintech industry as a Bollywood dance sequence. It begins in the early 2000s, with a few enthusiastic background dancers, mainly startups like Paytm and ItzCash, shaking to the primitive rhythms of dial-up internet. The choreography was less "smooth moonwalk" and more "clunky robot dance," but the spirit? Unmatchable!
As the beat of technology quickened, so did the steps. By the 2010s, the stage was ablaze with ...

From a beer-drenched London street to the simple joy of a flying disc and finally to the click of a mouse that bought "Ten Summoner’s Tales," history, it seems, prefers its tales served with a side of whimsical. And we have a rhyme to match.
In London's streets, the beer did flow,A flood of ale from long ago.The vats did burst, the town did weep,In hops and barley drowned so deep.
Then Yale, where pie tins took to flight,Became t...

In the town of Internetville, a unique bakery, Data Delights, offered irresistible cookies with a catch: each cookie had to be paid for with a sprinkle of personal data. Enamoured by flavours like Lemon Log-in and Chocolate Profile Crunch, the townsfolk unknowingly traded their privacy for these tasty treats.
Soon, the bakery owner, knew more about the town's inhabitants than they knew about themselves. The delicious deceit contin...

To save on their taxes, firms sail far and wide,To Ireland and Delaware, they smoothly glide.With cleverness and stealth,They amass their wealth,In havens, their profits do hide.

We have always been about making tech relatable and fun.
So, when we talk about the synthetic data trend to train models, we talk about the nine lives of cats.
Or when we talk about GPUs at the heart of the AI tsunami, we wonder if pasta has a role to play in that shortage.
For trends that make sense, listen to this episode about cons and corpses that 2024 holds.
