Download MP3 Greg Viloria and Adolfo Foronda of Nerd Stalker are back with the best finds of MacWorld iWorld 2013. In this episode we talk about: What was Ashton Kutcher doing there? Oh yeah being Steve Jobs. Will.i.Am is all about Futurehunting and why that is so awesome especially if your not a Black Eye Peas fan.

One category that was under the radar at Macworld were the music apps and products. Macworld had a music stage called the Music Studio and still no one seem to notice. The Nerd Stalker music nerds noticed. We want to highlight some interesting creative music apps that use iOS that we found at Macworld.

At MacWorld I stumbled upon the Dynaflow Liquid-Armor booth, being an Invisible Shield fan I was intrigued. I watched them demo scratch screens of smartphones and tablets. I was stoked (yes i actually say stoked in conversation) to find a working solution that you don't have to perfectly stick to your phone, no more air bubbles! I've since gone home and tried the single use wet wipe product, we give this product two thumbs up for ease of use and it really does protect the screen. Get more information at the Dynaflow website or just do yourself a favor and pick some up here .

On Day One of Macworld/iWorld, I looked for interesting applications in the health area and found Mark Hollis of MacPractice. Nerd Stalker also found a posture app called MacPractice is a Lincoln, Nebraska - Silicon Prairie company committed to providing personal client service.  MacPractice provides an integrated tool for a primary care health professional to manage your records and information. We talk with Mark about managing health records over a patient's lifetime. Managing Various Types of Data is the Challenge "The federal government has created incentives for doctors to adopt EHR or Electronic Health Records" "...just think of the doctor that you go to that gets your CT Scan data(on CD), makes an opinion and puts it your Mom's folder" "My primary person as a developer allows a doctor to be more efficient, allows the doctor to focus more on the patient, allows him to improve the quality of care, and that's my intent" In th...

The Lantronix XPrintServer home edition pretty much delivered right out of the box. We first tried just adding it to our lan since we already had a working print server in the form of the airport express. Unfortunately we were initially unable to get any of the ios devices to find the printer. So we went with the other approach of connecting the printer to the XPrintServer usb port, doing so made it worked like a dream. One thing you should remember is that you may need to delete your existing printer on osx then add the same printer with the XPrintServer name as the indicator.

At Macworld/iWorld people are focused on the latest app or latest accessories and there were not a shortage of those items. Tucked away in various corners of Moscone West were three music pioneers displaying their music gear at Macworld/iWorld 2013.  They are not the household names connected with Fender, Gibson or Yamaha but after our Nerd Stalker interviews with each of them, they need a due mention. Have you heard of Larry Fishman, Robert Godin or Tony Agnello? and why should we? Well, they have created their companies from nothing to a sustained business with over 100 years of business experience combined.

listen to ‘Track your posture via iOS with Lumo #ifan13’ on Audioboo Listen to our interview with Charles Wang of LUMOback and see our Unboxing below. If you are a biohacker your gonna dig the LUMOback. Watch the video below to see how cool the ui is because me telling you its a stick figure who changes color based on your posture does not do it justice. The LUMOback is a clever device that tracks your posture, you wear a sensor belt which sends the information to your ios device via Bluetooth.

Interview with Beth Halel of the red hot startup Square at MacWorld 2010. Start accepting payment cards immediately with Square. No contracts, monthly fees, or hidden costs. Effortlessly manage all the money you take with an easy and intuitive interface. In February 2009, Jim McKelvey wasn’t able to sell a piece of his glass art because he couldn’t accept a credit card as payment. Even though a majority of payments has moved to plastic cards, accepting payments from cards is still difficult, requiring long applications, expensive hardware, and an overly complex experience. Square was born a few days later right next to the old San Francisco US Mint. Today the Square team is focused on bringing immediacy, transparency, and approachability to the world of payments: an inherently social interaction each of us participates in daily. We’re starting with a limited beta and rolling out to everyone in early 2010. Square is backed by Khosla Ventures and a team of angels. Square, Inc. has of...
