We cover many stories this week including the inspiration for this week’s show title: Apple has patented a way for your iPhone to enter ‘panic mode’ when you unlock it with a specific finger, which is sure to spark a lot of jokes like ours this week about using one’s middle finger as the ‘panic’ digit!

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
