Today's IT Stuff is jam packed with a flurry of local tech events for everyone featuring Leeds Hack at the Leeds City Museum on the 2nd - 3rd of August and Wuthering Bytes over at Hebden Bridge on the 15th - 17th August.

Dave & co is joined by our very own, homegrown Youtube megastar, the eponymous Dick of Dick’s Installs where we discuss the ethics behind Facebook's social experiment and why people are still using the service, Brazil's federal police password sharing initiative in l33t speak, why Eugene Goostman isn't the first bot to pass the elusive Turing Test and why this isn't as impressive as it's made out to be.

Dave & co reveal a Windows XP registry hack to get an extra five years worth of updates, reminding everyone about the ebay Password reset, wittle on about Youtube's notorious Content ID and their purchase of Twitch.tv, celebrate International Amiga Day with Swanky Art - a new kind of pixel art community, recite poetry about chromebooks and more Googly misdeamenours, including the right to be forgotten before ending on #LeedsArtCrawl, an Open Data game using twitter to crowdsource public art locations in Leeds.

Dave & co starts the show with Heartbleed bug repercussions (just 1.5 million casualties, no biggie), reminisce nostalgia to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of BASIC, announce the winners of the "Downtime of the month award" which seems to have an airport theme followed by a bit of browser news including Internet Explorer vulnerabilities (surprise!) and observations of the rather strange makeover of the latest Firefox browser, Firefox 29, making it look like another popular browser unlike itself before discussing the perils of social media and why some people just don't get it and to egregious effect.

Demonoid is back! This week introduces the OpenSSL ‘Heartbleed’ vulnerability, the 50th anniversary of the original Cobol 64 standard and the IBM 360, more website makeovers from Wikipedia, T&A and Flickr, The Internet of Things which apparently costs a total of £73M, disappointments shared over the Oculus Rift being bought by Facebook (for 2 billion big ones), why Blackcoin is better than Bitcoin followed by some good news about a notorious scam before we end the show with the past and future of Windows and Manchester’s Civic Space Programme.
