After getting started with our much too frequent corrections segment, Dave and Nate get back into the laptop discussion from last week. We talk about some other products as well before getting into some great insights into Facebook.

There were some decent news stories this week and a few "not news" stories in the mix as well. The podcast wraps up with a discussion on Google's I/O conference and what it means for tech.

The podcast starts off with some followup and a discussion on our excursion to a super nerdy video game exhibit. After we announce our first giveaway winner, Nate ask's a fan question and wants your parenting tech tips.

It was a pretty slow news and "not news" week but we found some topics to discuss, then we spend the remainder of the episode discussing music and how to listen to it, with a brief detour to podcast listening at the end.

We start off with a vaguely political discussion of everyone's favorite day of the year, tax day. Nate then introduces a new segment, "Not news," followed by some regular news. Then in a poorly counted "High 5" segment we recommend some really great podcasts that we think you will enjoy. Head to our Facebook page and let us know your favorite podcasts or what you are looking for.

Pro Tip from the episode (55:17) - If you or those around you are sensitive to colorful language, mind the "Explicit" tag on podcasts.

Nate starts of describing his first "official" competitive video gaming experience. Then while discussing some follow up and news we get into the hopefully fading fad of April Fools' pranks on the internet.

Next we dive into the topic of Spring Cleaning and the many different ways to get rid of your stuff, from junk to priceless treasures. If you have some great solutions or questions on Spring Cleaning, let us know. We end with Nate's deep discussion that started with the quote "I spend a lot of time thinking about time."

The podcast starts off looking at some stories from the tech world, from struggling companies to oversensitivity.

Nate and Dave then get into how much we love helping our families, and you, with tech. Then a little shaming because we know some 92 year olds that are "teching" better than you.

We tease next weeks Spring Cleaning topic and discuss some of Nate's finds while cleaning his "office."

On the heels of the Apple Special Event episode, Nate and Dave get back to the rest of the news. After giving some shout outs, Nate threatens to "fire" Dave for his lack of Facebooking. Then Dave threatens to fire Facebook for trying to get his phone number.

What should you do before and after your smart phone is lost or stolen? Have a good backup, a good pin (Low 5 segment on pins) and hope for the best.

We wrap up the episode with an Amazon Prime Pick of the Week and Nate says he is going to do his best to avoid the Apple vs. FBI story next episode.
