    Richard jumps off the good ship podcast for a week to paddle his own canoe, leaving Simon and Mark to discuss how they’ve been using Photos.app since it’s release and whether or not Dropbox is a meeting its potential.

      A selfie stick incident causes a ceremonial burning of Mark and Richard’s technology, and despite that everyone is in agreement that the EU is a bigger villain than the rogue selfie stick after drumming up a legal case against Google over … shopping!? Really?

      After the EU anger dissipates, the three hosts debate if Google is trying to take over the web and possibly beyond, and if they are — does that matter?

          Mark and Simon are fresh off the boat, returning from Ireland after attending the Úll Conference in Killarney. Richard plays interviewer as Simon and Mark answer questions about their experience and needless to say both have their superlative hats on.

          Privacy is in the news again with the now defunct Radioshack looking to sell former customers’ data to pay off creditors, the gang discuss the implications and (lack of) moral compass driving this decision. The final topic looks at how Apple is going to sell the Apple Watch in their retail stores and the seemingly obvious, glaring problems at will ensue.

            This week on the show the gang try to find their favourite Ted Cruz domain name to buy, descend into no topic in particular, and talk about their upcoming trip to the Úll Conference in Ireland.

            This week resulted in some issues with Mark’s audio, we apologise for his robotic voice and assure you neither Simon nor Richard have murdered him and replaced him with a Android. Although come to think of it, a robot would be cheaper and less annoying.

                  Due to a distinct lack of interesting news this week’s episode is brought to you by everyone’s favourite pal: improv.

                  After a brief mention of the FCC’s net neutrality ruling and an assessment of Samsung’s mobile handset business — on the heels of the new Galaxy S6 — things get… interesting.

                  Remember the 90s? Yeah, we do too, unfortunately. We talk about the 90s web, the necessity for lossless audio (but not in the way you’re thinking), and we decide to reinvent the filesystem for the worse… exclusively for iOS 6. Oh yeah, you heard right, and it’s as insane as you may well imagine.

                    In a week where Simon and Richard overcome their respective illnesses, Mark has a minor health scare, so it’s business as usual for this week’s episode of Technically Correct.

                    Lenovo’s adware/bloatware package known as ‘Superfish’ has landed them in hot water, as they seemingly chose to compromise the security of their customers and then continually lie about the fact in proceeding allegations.

                    Elsewhere, two UK banking apps decide to adopt Touch ID and the BBC turns into scaremongering babies at the prospect, details of the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy 6 leak, and 9to5Mac tracks a cluster of Apple’s hires that can only seem to point to one thing.

                    Stick around for a doozy of an after-show conversation wherein we’re all off to buy a Peugeot.
