Samsung Note 7 & SpaceX go boom - Episode 141
This week was not a good one for Samsung or SpaceX.
Samsung confirmed that they were issuing recalls for their recently released Note 7 smartphone and SpaceX experienced a catastrophic failure resulting in the explosion of one of their Falcon 9 rockets before it could even fire up its engines.
We discussed this and much more including YouTube upsetting creators by actually enforcing their TOS agreement resulting in the inability to monetize their videos.
Enjoy this episode and be safe this Labor Day weekend!
