Hosts: Megan Morrone, Iain Thomson

Guest: Sam Machkovech

Tonight we talk to Iain Thomson from The Register about how the Supreme Court approved changes that would give the FBI more power over when and where they can access our computers and everybody else's computers, everywhere. Ostensibly the changes are designed to help the FBI combat offshore botnets, but it's more nefarious than that. We also talk about Microsoft's decision to block Google from Cortana, and their new IFTTT clone called Flow. Next, we cover the SpaceX contract to launch GPS satellites for the military, and a new bedtime story app that lets parents use virtual reality to connect to their children. After that, Sam Machkovech from Ars Technica stops by to talk about Nintendo and Hatsune Miku. And finally, what happens when a weasel-like rodent meets a particle accelerator? Find out!

Tonight we're joined by Becky Worley from Good Morning America. First we talk about Minecraft in VR. The pocket edition of the game that every nine year old is the world is addicted to can now be downloaded for your Gear VR for $6.99 from The Oculus Store. We also discuss in-app purchases. A federal judge sided with the FTC against Amazon, claiming the company did not do enough to protect consumers from unauthorized in-app purchases. Next we cover SpaceX, space elevators, and trips to Mars and the passing of the email privacy act in the House of Representatives. Finally, Alex Kantrowitz from BuzzFeed joins us to talk about Facebook earnings, live streaming, and Mark Zuckerberg's stock.

Guests: Nathan Olivarez-Giles, Michael Sippey

Earnings for Apple and Twitter are in and we talk to Nathan Oliveres-Giles about the first decline in quarterly revenue for the company since 2003. Meanwhile, Twitter struggles to define itself, even as it gains users. YouTube tests a new ad format, DropBox launches a new version of its cloud service, and Google, Ford, Volvo, Uber, and Lyft have put aside their differences to form a coalition to work with lawmakers and civic organizations to push self-driving cars onto the road. Afterward, we interview Michael Sippy about his new app Talkshow that lets you text your friends in public.
