On this week's episode of MashTalk, we discuss Samsung's newly released Galaxy Note7, the latest iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2 rumors and Ford and Uber's race towards a self-driving car future.

This is the final MashTalk to feature Christina Warren -- AKA C-Mac, AKA Film_Girl -- as a host. Don't worry, MashTalk will continue. Christina loves you all very much and wants to thank the listeners for their patronage and awesomeness over the years. She also wants RayRay, Lance and Pete to know how much she loves them.

But don't fret, it's not all sad. C-Mac, Raymond Wong and Pete Pachal settle in to talk about everything happening in the world of tech.

The gang kicks stuff off with a disccussion about the latest iPhone rumors (2:00). This inevitably leads into yet another discussion about the headphone jack (RIP) and what kind of earbuds Apple might package with the device this fall (10:00).

After the iPhone talk, discussion moves onto the other Apple product rumored for a big update, the MacBook Pro (16:45). The gang discusses the rumored design decisions, the ubiquity of USB-C and how much dongle hell we'll all be in. Too bad we're not expecting to see the new MacBook until October.

Moving on, Ray talks about his experience with the Dlodlo VR headset (30:00). It's thin, light and only a little bit dorky looking. OK, it still looks really nerdy. Christina's not sure that any third-platform (let alone one from Kickstarter) is going to make waves in VR but Ray is hopeful that this thing encourage other manufactuers to make sleeker gear. Pete's not convinced VR will ever be a thing we wear all the time.

Finally, the gang discusses the GIF-ban on the Olympics (38:00) and how the Internet has gotten around it anyway. The New York Times' approach with swimming animations is really smart. Everyone basically agrees that even though the rationale for NBC might make sense on paper, trying to stop the GIFs is just futile.

Welcome back MashTalkers! Pete is out this week, so Lance and Christina are joined by Mashable Product Analyst Ray Wong to talk about everything happening in the world of tech.

They get stuff started off with a discussion about Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 event. (1:15) Lance and Ray were both at the product launch and had some time with the device to see how it works. The bottom line is that it’s a very, very good phone. In fact, RayRay says it’s the “best Samsung ever.” But make no mistake, it isexpensive and the gang discusses how much it will cost (14:00) and how that positions the device.

Moving on, the gang dissects Instagram Stories (17:00), Facebook’s biggest play against Snapchat yet. They talk about the blatant design rip-off and how this basically means Facebook has declared war on Snapchat. But RayRay isn’t loving it and he rants (21:00) about what this means for his overall Instagram experience.

Closing out the episode, everyone has some fun talking about how Kim Kardashian has finally had to say goodbye to her BlackBerry. (33:00) Don’t worry, Lance wrote up some excellent suggestions for what Kim should replace her Berry with.

The episode closes out with an almost tearful on-air goodbye between Lance and Christina. Don’t worry – Lance will be back week after next.

On this week’s episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and Christina discuss everything happening in the world of tech.

After a brief update on Pokémon Go tactics (1:02), the gang discusses Apple (3:30) and ita latest earnings. The company made less money than it did last year, but it still managed to sell it’s billionth iPhone, which is pretty incredible.

There is some discussion about whether or not we will see new Macs from Apple in September (14:30), Lance thinks no, Christina and Pete are more optimistic. Also, Christina cheated on the podcast this week. Don’t worry, she still loves MashTalk best.

The Apple talk dovetails into a long discussion about Yahoo’s sale to Verizon (20:30). They spend some time discussing the last four years under Marissa Mayer and discuss whether this conclusion was really just an inevitability.

Speaking of Yahoo, the discussion turns to a company that tried to buy them eight years ago, Microsoft. Microsoft has a new iOS camera app this week, Microsoft Pix (37:00). It seems really cool, but does the world really need another camera app?

Speaking of stuff the world needs, Lance tries to convince Pete and Christina why Dyson’s $1000 360 Eye robot vacuum is something worth buying.

On this week's slightly-truncated (but super high-energy!) episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and Christina tackle the latest news happening in the world of tech!

First up, the gang shares where they are in Pokémon Go (0:30). You might not believe who is the best at this game out of us three. Christina has still managed to not spend actual money on the game. This is a miracle.

But the gang quickly moves on from happy topics to the case of the Twitter trolls attack on Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones (2:20). That led Jones to briefly leave Twitter (she rejoined the platform a few hours after  the podcast was recorded) and led Twitter to finally ban one of its biggest trolls. They discuss why it took so long for Twitter to take action and Lance and Pete offer up some great suggestions for technical ways Twitter could help curb the abuse problem.

Moving on, the gang discusses rumors that there could be three iPhone 7 models this fall (13:50) and how that might work from a marketing and messaging perspective. They also talk a little more about the status of the headphone jack (19:25), given some purported video leaks. MashTalk listeners, please just accept it: the headphone jack is going away.

Finally, Pete spearheads a discussion on Tesla's updated master plan (21:50), which includes solar powered cars, semi trucks and automated everything. The group discusses Elon Musk's vision for renting out your Tesla when it's not in use, and whether drivers are really ready for that take on ownership.

On this week’s episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and Christina tackle the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go (00:50). In a wide ranging chat, they talk about everything from the growing Pokemon Go economy (04:30), the user experience (09:05) and why Pokémon Go works (11:45). Lance shares his take on how the craze will end(17:51), because nothing gold – or Pokémon Yellow – can really stay.

The gang shares a few thoughts on Prisma (20:00) – the filter app taking over the globe – and discuss how the success of Pokémon Go and Prisma disprove the idea that apps are dead.

Moving on, Pete breaks down the latest Tesla news (22:50), including the calls from Consumer Reports to rename Autopilot. Note: We recorded this episode before the latest news broke about the Model X rollover crash. There’s always next week.

Finally, Lance helps shed some light on the major drama happening at Hyperloop One (34:15). And seriously, this Hyperloop One saga is full of twists and turns.

On this week’s MashTalk, Lance, Christina and Pete are back talking about all the stuff happening in work this week.

They start out with a “hella good” discussion about Microsoft’s terrible recruitment email (0:20). Seriously, can brands stop saying bae already?

The team then moves into a broad discussion about Snapchat Memories (2:32), one of the biggest changes to hit Snapchat in the history of the platform. They spend some time discussing what this feature could mean for helping the platform expand (especially amongst olds). If you want to know how to use Snapchat Memories – they’ve got a guide for that too

After talking about Snapchat, the gang segues into a discussion about Tesla and autopilot (15:50). There have been a few incidents concerning autopilot. They discuss what this means for the future of driverless cars and regulation.

Moving on, the group discuss the latest hoverboard recall (29:40), which conveniently happened just as Swagway released a new Swagtron, which has certification. The new Swagtron isn’t banned – but you probably won’t be able to ride it on the street anyway. Lance still loves his. If you bought a hoverboard that was recalled, we talk about what you need to do now (34:34).

The show  wraps up talking about the public betas for iOS 10 and macOS Sierra. (42:10) Christina is running the beta on some of her devices and Lance is committed to installing it on one of his phones. Pete, Pete’s going to wait. But there is a discussion some of the big features coming to both platforms.

On this week’s episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and Christina talk about the changes happening with the Facebook News Feed (05:00) and how it will impact regular users, brands and news publishers. They then shift gears to talk about a slew of Amazon announcements – including the return of Prime Day (20:30) and the ultra-discounted Android phones Amazon is subsidizing with special offers on the lock screen (27:30). They give a few words about Android Nougat (34:30).

Moving on, they tackle some Windows 10 news (37:00), including the release date for Windows 10 Anniversary edition and Microsoft’s ultra-annoying, truly-terrible way Microsoft attempted to force users to upgrade to Windows 10. Finally, the MashTalk crew says goodbye to Samantha Murphy Kelly. Samantha, we love you and are so proud of you!

In this episode of MashTalk, Pete, Christina and Lance discuss Mark Zuckerberg's paranoia (1:00) -- that might not be THAT paranoid -- before diving into how Siri works on macOS Sierra (9:05) and how it compares to Cortana (10:00). We then shift into some other thoughts on macOS Sierra (18:05), including Apple's increased focus on iCloud and services.

We then segue (heh) into Lance's review of the new Segway (28:15). Is it too little too late? Hoverboards are over so does this thing stand a chance? Speaking of having a chance, is Periscope having a renaissance? (36:48) After the GOP blocked CSPAN cameras from covering the sit-in/protest, Democrats broadcast the happenings on Periscope. We talk about the broader implications for live video.

Rounding out the episode, Pete gives us all a great tip for making sure your computer microphone isn't spying on you (44:10) and Lance shares his love of the $150 Star Trek Communicator (44:45).

In this episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and Christina do a deep dive on WWDC and everything Apple announced.

They start off offering their take on the keynote (0:30) and the tenor of Apple announcements. First up is iOS 10 (8:30) and the impact the new changes coming to Messages on the platform. We spend a lot of time on Messages before moving into a discussion on differential privacy (21:25) and whether that can ever offer as good of a predictive experience as services that track you more (Google, Facebook). We shift on to talk about the new Home app (29:42) and whether Apple can really make HomeKit a thing. Pete goes on a fun tirade about his propane tank. We have a brief discussion about how you can "delete" pre-installed apps (35:15), Apple Music (37:00). We shift into the renamed macOS (38:12) and Siri coming to Mac. We round out the discussion to talk about the new look on watchOS 3 (44:35) and the changes coming to its Health and Activity apps. Finally, we finish off with tvOS (49:15) and the fact that Single Sign-on is coming to Apple TV.
