ANZ's biometrics, Android networks, and Conroy's red underpants
Summary: What is ANZ doing with biometrics? What information can a virtual network of Android devices offer? And just why did Communications Minister Stephen Conroy make that red underpants comment?
If it is Friday, it is Technolatte day. And we've got the latest on ANZ Bank's movement into biometrics, the virtual Megadroid network, and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's "unfettered legal power" over red underpants.
On this week's Technolatte podcast, we discuss:
ANZ moving forward with an NFC payments trial and looking at biometrics as part of a AU$1.5 billion investment in mobile technology
Researchers creating a virtual Android network to test out what would happen in the event of a massive epidemic of malware, a terrorist attack, or natural disaster
Were Conroy's comments about having the power to make spectrum bidders wear red underpants on their head bizarre, or appropriate for the audience he made the comments to?
