Jason Howell and Megan Morrone discuss Apple's superfecta of updates. MacOS Sierra 10.12.1 improves stability, compatibility, and security. iOS 10.1 offers the much-anticipated Portrait Mode for iPhone 7 plus users (still in beta), which simulates shallow depth of field photos taken by DSLR cameras. You can now play all those laser, balloon, and firework effects with Reduce Motion enabled. WatchOS 3.1 finesses watchOS 3, including a bug that wasn't letting the Series 2 watch charge all the way. And tvOS fixes bugs and improves security, allows you to use Siri to search YouTube, but does not allow for single sign-on to all of your accounts.

Megan Morrone and Jason Howell discuss all the announcements from Tesla. All of its cars will now include the hardware to at some point become fully autonomous. The Model S and Model X vehicles with this new hardware are already in production and you can order one right now. Once the Model 3 goes into production it will also contain this hardware. Engadget says the fully autonomous software package will cost an extra $8,000. Ars Technica said, "Full Self-Driving Capability" is a $3,000 option at the time of purchase, $4,000 after the fact. Check the Tesla website for the complicated price structure. The new robot Tesla's will not feature those unsightly cameras sprouting out the top like Google and Uber's self-driving cars but will be built right into the sleek Tesla design. The company also released a promotional video set to the tune of The Rolling Stones Paint it Black, for some reason. They do know that Paint it Black is about a funeral, right?
