The animated film The Iron Giant (1999) is set in the 1950’s. Hogarth, a young boy from Maine, befriends a massive robot that crashed onto Earth, the Iron Giant. While developing a friendship with it, Kent Mansley, a government agent, will stop at nothing to destroy it, and will not change his mind. Because of the boy’s attachment with the robot, he’ll try to stall Kent’s progress, such as using a different chocolate for Kent’s sundae. He’s also kept the robot at Dean’s scrapyard, despite his reluctance to keep him there. But their mutual hatred of Kent’s cruel intentions might just keep the friendship between them.

In the debut episode of 8Bit Avenue, a podcast about that nostalgic feeling you get when you revisit your beloved and coveted retro games: Matthew Palmer and Katie Talmo discuss Kirby’s Adventure that was originally released in 1993. It really pushed the boundaries of the NES hardware, and then some.
Most gamers these days will be familiar with Kirby, the big pink puffball who can suck up and consume his enemies. With a breath of air in his lungs he could even fly, which brought a whole new dimension when compared to the average platform game around at the time.

On this episode of I’d App That, we’ll talk about you being able to get an Uber without leaving Google Maps. Stacy reviews the Amazon Music app and then Peter gives us his impressions of the NFB (Canada’s National Film Board) app.
Google’s making it way easier and simpler to hail an Uber with Google Maps. Today the company announced that the latest version of Google Maps on Android and iOS lets users request a ride from Uber without ever leaving the app. Previously, you could use Maps to check for price estimates and start the process of getting a lift, but eventually you had to finish things up in the Uber app. Now, the entire request process takes place directly in Google Maps. You just sign in with your Uber account info, which pulls up your stored payment info and other details.

Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto are facing a push back from automakers led by Ford Motor Co. and Toyota Motor.
Ford and Toyota on Wednesday said four medium-sized automakers — Mazda Motor, PSA Group, Fuji Heavy Industries and Suzuki Motor Corp. — have joined their SmartDeviceLink Consortium, which aims to develop an open-source software platform that app developers can use as an alternative to Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto.
Apple and Google have revved up efforts to integrate their smartphone technologies with auto communications systems.
Apple’s CarPlay technology is built around its iOS software. Alphabet-owned Google unveiled an “autocentric” variant of Android N at its Google I/O developer’s conference in May. General Motors and Harman have announced plans to build Android-based infotainment systems for GM vehicles.
