    • 14. Going Old-School With Technology, and How Rumors Impact Tech Reporting

      We're back at it for Episode 14, and discussing many things. We get the details of Apple Watch sales at Best Buy and possible other retailers, and discuss how US mobile carriers are restructuring plans and contracts to get more out from your wallet.

      Chris tells us about going back to the 70s, and we discuss how some popular services, like "Beats One" and cord cutting are throwing back to a less technology filled era. We touch on more cord cutting tips and tricks to get the most of a comcast-free life.

      Glenn breaks down how the tech industry's obsession with rumor reporting can damage the industry reputation, and how consumers should be wary of rumors.

      What can we say... 13 is an unlucky number, and we were struck by it... after several failed attempts to record, the Macnificent team decided that episode 13 was just not meant to be, and so we're opting to skip 13, and wanted to take the opportunity to thank you, our listeners, and let you know that we'll be back and working like a well-oiled stripper next week!
