Lesley Chilcott, director of A Small Section of the World, joins me for a conversation about her latest film.
www.asmallsectionoftheworld.com
A Small Section of the World is a documentary film that tells the inspirational story about a group of women from a remote farming region of Costa Rica whose ideas sparked a revolution in the coffee growing world.
After a crisis, the men of the village left in search of work and the women came together to imagine a different future for themselves, their families and their community by building their own coffee mill.
They are the first women’s run micro-mill in their country. The film follows the impact of this remarkable story of perseverance as it touches lives around the globe and shows how these resourceful women overcame adversity to change the culture within their small section of the world.
A story of passion and tenacity, A Small Section of the World is about women’s empowerment, the risky business of coffee and how a cup of coffee can transform lives.

Uber @7’s
Abu Dhabi Taxi- app with GPS
OK we don’t get this here but it is a good look at the music streaming worlds changing face.
Pandora relaunched its Android and iOS apps with a lighter and cleaner UI Tuesday that also makes it easier to personalize your radio experience: The new version comes with a dedicated personalization button that lets you quickly access a station’s history, allowing you to browse through past tracks or add additional artists or songs to the influences for a station’s mix.
In addition to the personalization features, Pandora also gave its apps a visual refresh. Gone are the heavy blue title bars at the top of the app and big, obnoxious social sharing buttons. Instead, the apps now feature a lot of whitespace, more subtle grey buttons and an animated equalizer instead of the simple play button to access your current station from anywhere within the app.
google inbox, been playing with it for a few days and i love it
this is a story of 2 apps that help with depression.
A tweet powered radio station in India?
The company serves up “millions” of Indian music tracks and international hits, offering a Spotify-style choice of an ad-supported free version or a subscription-based, ad-free model. It launched its radio mode one year ago, and now it is taking requests from users who tweet to the @SaavnRadio account.
The station will also mix in tracks that Saavn users are sharing to Twitter from the service, although the company said specific requests will be prioritized over social shares.
Saavn Co-Founder and CEO Rishi Malhotra told TechCrunch in an interview that the radio feature already accounts for over half of all activity on the service and, since a large number of users are already active on Twitter, the union was a no-brainer for him.

Who comes up with these ideas?
This one slice's objective is to be toasted, right?
The bread's sole purpose is to become toast. Now, that's pretty straightforward in a kitchen, but not so in a bedroom or toilet. Our yeasty hero will have to find a way to satisfy its (literally) burning desires in different scenarios, all the while unaware of the havoc it's causing in its pursuit.
speaking of crazy ideas, imagine being able to shoot fireballs from your write, new product on the market
A nice look at why foursquare split into to and the process!

Google for the under 12 set!
There is a chrome show! Really?
News of more Chromebooks than iPads sold to U.S. schools in the third quarter isn’t terribly surprising; we’ve noted the trend several times this year. With tight budgets and lower-cost computers that meet most needs in the classroom, Chromebooks are a good choice. So too are iPads but they don’t have a keyboard, which could have some impact as well due to Common Core education standards being adopted by states.
We chat about that as well as Google’s Android app strategy on Chrome OS, plus a handy hidden feature in Chrome for Android on this week’s podcast.
I love the Amazon idea! Robots to the warehouse!
When you hit the “buy” button on that Amazon Cyber Monday deal, it could be a robot that pulls it out of the warehouse. Amazon released a video Sunday that shows its 15,000 Kiva robots at work, and it’s pretty neat to see how the whole system comes together.
we’ve spoken about beacons, this is the new mesh beacon
