This week: more rumored details of the 12-inch "iPad Pro”; 755 more Emojis coming soon to your iDevices; with Christian Bale out, we make our list of the actors that definitely *shouldn’t* replace him in the Sorkin-penned Jobs movie; and finally… nude or not?  Do you keep your iDevices bare or covered up in a case?  We ponder the pros and cons and ask the question: why are so many iPhone and iPad cases horrid pieces of garbage? We’ll pitch some of our faves, too. Thanks to lynda.com for sponsoring this episode!  With over 3,000 high quality video courses taught by industry-leading experts, lynda.com will help you master virtually any application, all on your own time and at your own pace.  Learn all you want for free for 7 days with a free trial.  Try it now at lynda.com/CultCast And Audible, home of over 150,000 audio books from practically every genre in existence.  Grab Leander's book, Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products, for FREE with a 30-day Audible trial.  The book is yours to keep even if you decide not to keep your Audible subscription.  Get started now at audiblepodcast.com/cultcast We also want to give Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com a huge thanks for all the great music you hear in today's show. Links to today's stories, aka, reading material for your toilet time CNN caught using Microsoft Surface as iPad kickstand - busterRead more at http://www.cultofmac.com/302105/cnn-hid-ipads-behind-microsoft-surface-mid-term-coverage/ CurrentC’s Apple Pay ban to expire in ‘months, not years’ - alexRead more at http://www.cultofmac.com/301972/currentcs-apple-pay-ban-expire-months-years/#ebZFJiMCsOzIdxJO.99
