~ Recorded Live from KOWS FM 92.5 ~

Basking in the sumptuous grandeur of the all-new BMW 840i Gran Coupe this week, Tech Talk commentator Rick DeMeis discovers that luxury may come with a price that’s hard to swallow but also hard to complain about considering the near perfection of the drive. Tune in while he goes over the features and the numbers.
Also, there’s plenty of other technology news including a tonneau bed cover made of solar panels and a robo-glove that’s earned “invention of the year” accolades.

Rick's Tech Talk A weekly feature on KOWS 92.5 FM radio Newtopian Dream program hosted by RT Newt.
