Recently, Apple unveiled Daisy - a robot made for stripping apart its iPhones so that parts and precious metals can be reused. What's more, the company noted for its secrecy has opened the lab up to other manufacturers so they can learn from it. It's one more step that the Cupertino company is taking towards its environmental goals. Chuck and Naren give you the dope about Daisy in this shortie. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

Ep. 134: Wikileaks is the same as Wikipedia. NOT.

2019/05/20

Julian Assange has been in the news recently - he got arrested after riding a skateboard around in the place that was actually sheltering him from arrest for a rape case, while in parallel, the US wanted to have a chat with him about all those top secret military documents that he leaked. Woah, that's a lot to take in. So let's break things down for you. 4 essential questions, 1 Simblified Shortie. 1. Are Wikileaks and Wikipedia the same thing? (spoiler alert: No) 2.

Ep. 133: Black holes & why they're so darn important

Simblified ·

2019/05/13

You've probably seen THAT photograph. So, why are black holes so important? Why's this fuzzy little picture of some distant faraway thingummy sending scientists and all those smart people into a frenzy? Well, it's complicated, but thankfully the Simblified gang have watched several Youtube videos and attempt to explain it to you with some signature "humour". We look at how some Hydrogen atoms in outer space get really horny, get it on, form stars, which eventually implode and form black holes. These

WARNING: Moderate spoilers in this episode! Ideally best listened after (or during) watching the movie. So, Endgame. There's a ton of characters, emotion and history in there. And, like all superhero movies, there's a fair bit of liberty taken on the factual or scientific part of things, which doesn't mean we can't deep dive! In particular, the Thanos snap in Infinity War that wiped out half of all life (oops, spoiler for that movie - but if you haven't seen that by now, you probably don't care)

2019/04/29

Ever been to a music gig and wondered how it all came together? Look at the artists on stage - how did they get there? Do they just ring up the venue? Do the venues call them? Do bands have an "HR"? What does being an artist involve? Just play in your bedroom, upload on YouTube, become famous, play at gigs and have fans at your feet? Well - sort of, but there's a lot in between. To unravel that, we have Romario Rodrigues joining Chuck & Naren in the studio as we aim to 'simblify' artist management

Remember Orkut? Well, of course you do - but mostly as a joke. The truth is, a lot of Indians' experience with social media is actually incomplete without Orkut. One such Indian is Shri N. Shenoy, who - shock, horror, has never been on said platform. So Chuck and IVM Podcasts producer Abbas Momin (filling in for an absconding Srikeit) try to tell him what he's been missing out on.

In our last episode, we looked at the differences between the internet and the WWW. In this episode, we take things a step further by figuring out how exactly Facebook & Google, located in California - comes here to India. The answer, it turns out, is through a series of really long underwater cables, each of which is thinner than your hair (really!).

Recently, the internet celebrated its 30th birthday! Or wait, was it the world wide web? Wait. What's the difference? Is there a difference? Are Vincent Cerf & Tim Berners-Lee the same person? What on earth is TCP/IP? Ok, ok, be calm. Our trio attempts to help you answer all these questions and more, taking you on a cyber-history tour. And well... There are jokes. Some very bad ones.

While the film world has lights, camera, action... The advertising world has brief, PPT, ad (roughly). Some ads are better than others.

Ep. 124: Can someone explain this GDPR thing?

Simblified ·

2019/03/04

Recently, you might have heard of something called the GDPR. It has something to do with the Russians, right? Well, no. Well, not entirely, anyway. The GDPR is a massive law that protects Europeans' data from companies that would like to peddle off the fact that you have a predeliction of ordering ice-cream at 2 AM (heh) to some company for a quick buck. And Google's been very evil and is being fined 50 million Euros. So the Simblified trio (duo actually, Naren wasn't there) have a look at the law

On this episode of Simblified, Chuck and Srikeit (Naren was missing, presumably fulfilling his duties as Malad's Batman), check on the progress of Brexit - Britain's hilariously botched attempt of trying to leave the European Union. With just about a month left to the exit deadline and with no deal to gracefully exit anywhere on the horizon, we discuss the potential options for how Brexit may pan out. Almost all options involve Britain comically shooting themselves in the foot so join in for some

Yes, back in school, Civics was like the token black guy of social studies. Who had time to learn about elected officials while deciduous trees and various dates were waiting to be mugged up! But as we grow older, wiser and more responsible, we find ourselves using the things we were supposed to study in 7th standard more and more useful (no, trigonometry, not you). Meghnad and Shreyas, hosts of a new podcast called "How to Citizen" tell us about this and how we can become better citizens (or at
