Ted Landau has had a run of tech bad luck recently, and shares some of his issues and solutions (just in case you have some of the same). Ted and host Chuck Joiner also discuss the level of sophistication our software, both operating systems and applications, has achieved, and whether what it adds for the savvy user detracts from the average user. The team also shares some Apple Pay experiences and the surprising success of Ted's robot-building adventure.
