It's our two-year anniversary! And what better way to celebrate what's also the 50th episode of Eight or Sixteen than dissect some of Apple's biggest iPad-related news for years? Oh, and Rob bought Mark a present.

P.s. sorry about the horrible mic audio on Mark's behalf - this won't happen again!

Two weeks ago, we sat down with none other than Jason T. Lewis to record Eight or Sixteen. Alas, there was a recording, erm... error - and the show was lost. Fear not, though, because Jason was kind enough to return - and this time it worked! In this episode, Rob, Mark, and Jason cover everything from the state of tech YouTube to home audio, Mark's frustrations with Siri, and Elton John.
