Episode 31: The spies among us and the S8
On this week's show: the Canadian government committed over $2.2 billion to clean energy technology investments; there are cell phone spying devices around Parliament Hill (update — as of this writing, we're pretty sure it was the RCMP); Infiniti launches first Internet of Things smart city lab in North America — based in Toronto; the Samsung S8 and S8+ and all their bells and whistles.
Speed round:
-Facebook is cloning GoFundMe and baking it into its platform.
-Verizon is mashing AOL and Yahoo together in a new company called Oath.
-Apple is refunding customers who recently purchased Workflow.
-Tesla is now the most valuable car company in the world.
-Android overtook Windows as most popular OS in the world.
