Participants

Scott Ertz

Host

Scott is a developer who has worked on projects of varying sizes, including all of the PLUGHITZ Corporation properties. He is also known in the gaming world for his time supporting the rhythm game community, through DDRLover and hosting tournaments throughout the Tampa Bay Area. Currently, when he is not working on software projects or hosting F5 Live: Refreshing Technology, Scott can often be found returning to his high school days working with the Foundation for Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST), mentoring teams and helping with ROBOTICON Tampa Bay. He has also helped found a student software learning group, the ASCII Warriors, currently housed at AMRoC Fab Lab.

Nicholas DiMeo

Host

With over ten years of audio engineering experience, Nick's addition to PLuGHiTz Corporation is best served when he is behind the mixing board every Sunday night to produce the audio side of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology, Piltch Point and PLuGHiTz Live Night Cap. While mixing live every week, his previous radio show hosting experience gives him the ability to co-host as well, giving each show a unique flare with his slightly off-center, yet still realistic take on all things tech. An integral part of the show, you can find Nick always enveloped in coming up with new (and sometimes crazy) ideas and content for the show and you can always expect the most direct opinion on the stories that he feels need to be shared with the world. During the few hours where Nick isn't sleeping or working on ways to improve the company, he spends his free time going to hockey and football games and playing the latest titles on Xbox 360. Email him for his gamertag and add him today for a fun escape from the normal monotony and annoyance that the Xbox LIVE gaming community can sometimes be!

Nokia Devices & Services to Become Part of Microsoft

A few months back, it was revealed that Microsoft and Nokia had been in talks for a buyout, but that something had gone wrong and the talks had ended permanently. There was a lot of speculation over the reasons, from the market penetration of Windows Phone to pricing. No matter what was said at that point, it would appear that it was all a distraction from the fact that Microsoft and Nokia were actually finalizing details over the acquisition.

Spotify Introduces Connect Feature to Keep Your Music Playing, No Motion Sensor Required

Ever since its arrival here in States, I've been following the Spotify saga. From the company's first greeting message to the list of new features and markets added recently, I'm a huge fan because of the software's uniqueness. Plus, it seems the developers are constantly adapting to the market and keeping Spotify competitive and ahead of the curve. This week is no exception, with the introduction of Spotify Connect.
