Dan is away for work this week, but in his absence, Marc and Riley get into Spotlight Canada, a YouTube pilot program just for the Great White North; Rogers' Smart Drive, a device with an LTE chip that turns your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot; and Apple's unfortunate murder of the Nano and the Shuffle.

Speed round:

-Arcade Fire's newest album was released on a $130 USB fidget spinner
-The next iPhone will have a bezel-less screen
-The next iPhone will have face unlocking using infrared cameras
-The next iPhone will maybe have a "biometric kit" available to devs
