Windows 10 and HoloLens: https://gigaom.com/2015/01/21/microsoft-jumps-into-augmented-reality-with-hololens-windows-10/
How to watch Canadian curling: http://lifehacker.com/5935863/five-best-vpn-service-providers
Rapid Fire Round:
Martin asks: How can an "Average Joe" calibrate his or her "average" HD monitor? I would think calibration on "any" system would help create more effective photos and video.
Spears and Munsil HD Benchmark 2nd Edition: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00CKWI13O/?tag=herofide-20
Disney WOW: World of Wonder: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/139-display-calibration/948496-avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration.html
Get a colorimeter!
Frank asks: Have you looked it spark.io, spark core? Could you cover the online IDE? P.S. so happy you two are back online :)
@morisbayar tweets: "What do you think about Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 at home? Is it worth to spend thousands of $ and upgrade from 7.1? Regards.
Kathleen asked: Does it make any sense to build desktops anymore, or is it now cheaper to just buy one?
John asks: Hi, it’s great seeing you guys back on Tekthing! In light of your new support model through Patreon, it would be interesting to learn more details about it, as well as how other tech shows and sites (Cnet, TWIT, etc.) are supported and how each support model works. Thanks for putting on (and continuing!) one of the best tech shows out there.
Do something analog! Like checking out the Spy Museum in Washington DC!
