The 404 1,026: Where we were monitoring that scan (podcast)
Are you disappointed or psyched that so many new technologies draw inspiration directly from films and TV? First it was Samsung citing "2001: A Space Odyssey" as an influence for their Samsung Galaxy tablet and all the reports of "Minority Report" tech coming soon. And now Google looks like it watched too many Star Trek episodes while designing its augmented-reality glasses.The glasses are an experiment from Google called Project Glass that displays incoming text messages, media playback, driving directions, and more through a small screen in front of the wearer's right eyeball. Along with a prototype video showing a day in the life of a user, the glasses are meant to get technology out of the way and let the user experience life with less distraction, but the video doesn't show the ads that Google will inevitably serve to subsidize the subscription and hardware costs.In fact, a true-to-life Google Glass experience, replete with ads, will probably look more like this.This story and a plague on both Instagram houses in today's episode of The 404.Bathroom break video: This is how metalheads paint a room.This content is rated TV-MA, and is for viewers 18 years or older.

The 404 1,028: Where we go Dumpster diving (podcast)
Richard, our studio engineer, is the inspiration for today's show title that goes along with a story about his old Dumpster-diving days, when he'd raid the Hostess factory at the end of the night to recover "old" Twinkies and Ho Hos.Jeff faced childhood memories of his own this weekend while cleaning out his old closet, unearthing treasures like Palm Pilots, two Sega Dreamcasts, and a box of old CD jewel cases. If you don't know what those things are, you're too young to be listening to The 404.The first story in today's rundown is about yesterday's Easter services and how more churches around the country are embracing the use of tablet computers and smartphones to enrich sermons. Of course, the concept isn't without detractors, but one guy in the Chicago Tribune article actually compares the change to the arrival of the Gutenberg Bible, claiming that the sound of page turning was likely of equal distraction to pastors.More stories leaked from today's episode: Google Maps is under Microsoft fire, Microsoft buys 800 patents from AOL for $1 billion, text message spam and the age of "smishing," and, yes -- Macs can get viruses!This content is rated TV-MA, and is for viewers 18 years or older.
