Episode 77: Vero update, Instagram's next move, Facebook gets sued


Listen Later

In this week's accidentally social-media focused episode, we chat (again) about Vero and what it's like a week later, BlackBerry suing Facebook for things we take for granted, hidden code hinting at features in Instagram, and Google Clips.

Speed round:

-Is Dan going to buy a $650 Dyson air purifier to survive his cat?
-Is Marc going to buy Pizza Hut branded sneakers?
-Marc's probably going to buy Star Wars Red Solo Cups
-soon everybody can buy enviro-LEGO
-Dropbox is buying into the Google ecosystem and integrating Docs, Sheets, and Slides
-We don't think anybody's going to buy Spectacles 2, but they're coming
