PlaceboCast

We’re back! Hopefully, you didn’t write us off for good. This is our first time recording the podcast without being collocated. The audio isn’t as great as it was before since I was relying on my laptop mic (Psst! Buy me a microphone…). But! It’s a work in progress. Hang in there! In this edition […]

Apologies in advance for the audio. My voice wasn’t captured as clearly as previous podcasts. In this episode, we discuss the big topic from the previous week, Apple’s WWDC. Yes, it’s a tad bit late but that’s not the reason why you tune into our show, right? We dive into the controversial first look at […]

In this week’s episode of the PlaceboCast, we talk about the NSA’s secretive program PRISM. Are Silicon Valley tech juggernauts like Facebook, Microsoft, and Google all implicit in this massive data surveillance scheme? Also, with Apple set to kick off WWDC this upcoming Monday, we talk about what you can expect to see including Haswell, […]

It was a big week of announcements for Google as the company hosted their annual Google I/O conference in San Francisco. From a Google+ redesign, a new messaging app, and a Pandora-like service, Google reminded everyone that they’re not a company that likes to sit around. Also in this podcast, we talk about building custom […]

Time for another edition of the PlaceboCast! In this episode, Joseph and I talk about WWDC, The Internship, Samsung SGS4 reviews, and bitcoin. Best of all, we also returned from our one episode hiatus from talking about Mailbox! As always, thanks for listening.

In this week’s episode of the PlaceboCast, Joseph and I discuss the unveiling of Facebook’s “phone”, T-Mobile getting the new iPhone, and the upcoming release of iOS 7. Apologies in advance for the brain fart at around the 38:22 mark. I’m so glad we aren’t doing video recordings yet.

It’s a new world record. We’ve talked about Mailbox in every single one of our podcasts and today’s episode was no exception. Just when we taught we had exhausted all discussion about the much-hyped email app that failed to blow Joseph’s mind, Mailbox announces earlier this morning that they were acquired by Dropbox! As you can tell from my reaction, I was pretty stunned by the news. As we learned from Draw Something, hype certainly can lead to quick acquisitions.

We’re back with a followup to our debut podcast. Thanks again for everyone who has provided feedback to us so far. Joseph and I are pretty excited about this new style of blogging and we hope that you find it interesting to listen. If I can’t convince Joseph to write me a blog post, might as well record a podcast with him!

In an effort to spur creativity, Joseph and I decided it was time to explore a different model for discussing the latest in technology: podcasting.
