Megan Morrone and Owen JJ Stone talk about the latest LastPass Password Manager news. LastPass just gave you another reason to protect your accounts with a password manager. Because its free. The LastPass payment structure has always been a bit confusing and their purchase by the company LogMeIn hasn't changed that. In the consumer version you could use the browser extension for free, but if you wanted to use LastPass on a phone or a table, you had to pay an annual subscription fee. Now that $12 fee is gone for generating complicated passwords and storing them across all of your devices. If you want to pay for LastPass Premium you'll get family sharing for up to five users, 1GB of encrypted file storage, YubiKey and other two-factor login integrations, desktop fingerprint identification and LastPass for applications. The update is available right now and the company says they'll give refunds if you've recently paid for LastPass Premium just to get multi-device access and you don't need those other features.

Megan Morrone invites Owen JJ Stone to rant about his frustration with Apple's new MacBook Pro. There's been a pretty steady chorus of complaints about the new laptops that Apple unveiled last week. Among the many complaints, photographers have been up in arms about the removal of the SD slot. In an interview with The Independent, Phil Schiller defended the decision calling the slot cumbersome and obsolete and that wireless transfer will work just fine. When asked if MacOS would ever be combined with iOS, Schiller insisted that Apple was steadfast in the belief that the two OSes are fundamentally different. He also says there have been more online orders for the new MacBook Pro than ever before, and encouraged all the passionate dialogue around the product. So we had a passionate dialogue.
