Did you know Sony Pictures was recently hacked and had terabytes worth of data stolen and shared? And did you know cab-sharing service Uber is experiencing some public relations issues? And what about the iPod classic… did you know it was officially “retired”?
Alan and Chess know these things. And they talk about them for the good part of an hour, along with Chess’ rant about the Xbox, Alan’s pontification on Internet set-top boxes, and Chess’ second rant about Adobe Creative Cloud. It’s all on this month’s Lee-Free episode of “New Stuff”!
Picks of the Month: “Acorns” (Alan), and “Adobe Shape CC” (Chess), both on iOS App Store.

This episode is coming out pretty late… so most of the news being covered in Alan and Chess' discussion is no longer "news”.  But feel free to jump in the time machine and hear what they had to say about some important tech topics before they became no longer relevant…  the Apple/FBI/iPhone controversy, the March 2016 Apple Event and what to expect, experiments with VR and Google Glasses, Tesla, and much more.  And, as always, Alan and Chess share their tech picks of the month.

Dual Booting (formerly "New Stuff"): Ramblings from March 2016

Alan and Chess wrestle with the biggest tech issues of the day… which includes coming up with a new name for the show. It looks like “Dual Booting” may be the winner… but no one is ready to commit quite yet. In other news, they discuss Apple’s latest quarter report, rumors of wireless charging on the next iPhone, iTunes Radio shutting down free streaming, and drones… lots and lots of drones. Alan and Chess also give their picks of the month: Chess chooses “Airmail” and Alan picked “Sleep Cycle”… both available on the iOS App Store!

New Stuff: Are We Called "Dual-Booting” Now?

There’s lots to talk about in the world of tech, with a special emphasis on Apple-related news.  Alan and Chess talk about the new Apple TV (which neither of them own) and the new iPad Pro (which neither of them own), and why they do not own either of them yet.  Along with the typical Apple prognostications, they also talk about Twitter’s change from “Stars” to “Loves”, Facebook getting into the Snapchat game, and the popular movie genre known as “body-switching” films.  Judge Reinhold, you are welcome on our show anytime.
