December 27, 2023 The "Other" Smart Speaker
Today, Steven is joined by long-time listener Gregg Hayes as he aims to dispel the myth that the HomePod isn't as smart a speaker as some make it out to be.
Through a series of demonstrations and explanations, Gregg lays out his claim that the Siri-enabled smart speaker might be just the best option out there for smart speaker seekers!

December 26, 2023 The AI Dilemma
Today’s news headlines are filled with stories about what true artificial intelligence could do for humanity, both the good and the bad.
But what does true artificial intelligence look like in practice, and are we focusing too much on the negatives rather than the potential positives?
On this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun take a deep dive into the topic following a fascinating speech by Tristan Harris from the Center for Humane Technology, where he outlined the lessons that must be learnt from social media before we embark on embedding AI into everything in our world.

December 18, 2023 Carry On Talking Gibberish
Today on the show, it's clear that Steven and Shaun are in holiday spirits, clearly thinking they are off the clock and set to chill out over the holiday season.
However, Mr. F has other plans, with the news coming out that both Steven and Shaun will be joining you all over the holidays with shows each day, including a special live episode on January 4th to mark World Braille Day.
And there are lots of your contributions today too, mainly focused on the right mug to buy so you don't spill your drink. Is it a Starbucks or Tim Horton's mug that is the most solid? Serious answers only. :)

December 15, 2023 Beeper Mini Controversy & Bose Frames Are Dead
Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the controversy surrounding the Android app Beeper Mini, and its decision to bring iMessage support to Android users, which is not supported or allowed by Apple. Despite repeated attempts, the app continues to be shut down, but is Apple right to do this or should it allow Beeper to do what it wants?
Also in the news, Bose has announced that its popular Frames audio sunglasses are no more, with the company shelving the product. Does this mean this type of device is doomed, or is this just an issue for Bose themselves?
There's more of your feedback on the subjects of blind identity, and privacy of our apps, and Negative Julian offers an app to help see your Android phone more easily.
