This week, Greg Davies from the BlendoveR podcast and frequent Geeks of Doom contributor (including the Tardisblend podcast) joins us to discuss how the National Security Agency is eavesdropping on our phone calls, e-mails, texts, and all online activity in the name of national security. Are we overreacting, or not acting enough? Also, the NSA may have our data, but they can never patent our DNA. Microsoft does a 180 on their followup to the 360, and Google creates a network of floating balloons…

Scientists have discovered two of the four nucleobases—which are essential in building DNA—in meteorites found in Antarctica. The two nucleobases discovered, adenine and guanine, suggest that the basic building blocks for life could be present throughout the universe, and that meteorites that hit Earth gatrillions (it’s a real number…don’t look it up) of years ago could have acted as seeds, planting what would eventually become life on our planet.
