The first episode of Byteside for 2010 was a great look into future trends for the technology industry, but the highlight of the evening for me was when Mark Pesce – one of the pioneers of virtual reality, co-inventor of VRML and regular judge on The New Inventors – told the audience: “For All Of You Who Are Planning To Buy A 3DTV: For God’s Sake Don’t…”
If you want to watch me, Seamus, MactheMag editor Matthew Powell and YouTube Superstar Natalie Tran talk about the hottest gadgets for Christmas this year, then you should watch the Byteside Christmas Special online. Conveniently, it’s embedded in this post below the fold!
I received word this morning from the guys over at Byteside that their Xmas Spectacular – of which your truly will be a part of the panel – only has a handful of places left. If you want to spend next Tuesday night drinking Christmas Cheer (that’s rhyming slang I just made up) while watching me and a handful of other tech and gaming journos talk Christmasy gadgets, then make sure you RSVP today.
I missed heading to last week’s Byteside show thanks to a 4am start the next morning, but watching the tech show over the weekend was like a fantastic walk down gadget memory lane. iPods, the Internet, Bitorrent, mobile phones, UI software… it’s amazing to look back and realise just how far we’ve come over the past decade. It’s a long video, but well worth watching…

Tonight’s the last night for this season of Byteside, the brain child of former Giz editor Seamus. If you’re in Sydney tonight and fancy sharing a few beers with like-minded geeks, make sure you RSVP. Tonight’s shows will be a retrospective look back at the past decade, and the highs and lows of both technology and games. I’ll be there, so make sure you say G’day!
If you haven’t yet managed to get down to experience the Byteside live show, time is running out – the final show is scheduled for November 24, although Ben and Shay are hosting a special Christmas show on December 8.
For those of you who haven’t yet caught episode two of Byteside, last week’s games show tackled the whole R18+ rating debate. What made the discussion really worth mentioning however was the inclusion on the panel of Paul Hunt, former Deputy Director of the OFLC. You know, the guys who actually ban games.
For those of you who missed the launch episode of Byteside Tech on Tuesday, here it is!
