Episode 109: More reasons to hate Facebook and why you should IMMEDIATELY update your iPhone
In this week's episode, Dan and Marc talk about a really bad FaceTime bug that allows people to spy on you before you answer (update your phone!), a really bizarre and cryptic Google I/O "announcement," several more reasons to dislike Facebook (including openly ripping off children and parents, blocking ad transparency tools, merging the backend of all their messaging services, and tracking teenagers via a VPN that spies on them), and an island in the Galapagos that's using poison-dropping drones to eradicate its rodent problem. (e-RAT-icate? Geddit?)
