We apologize for the delay in posting. This was recorded on Thursday but is going up late. Life intervened in weird ways, but here you go, your weekly download tech news, "insight," and personal attacks against major tech companies. This week, we question the point of preordering consoles with the delay of Watchdogs, Apple's future as they cut back on iPhone 5C productions, and Google's intelligence with the change from GoogleTV to AndroidTV. Plus, we explore dinosaurs from mosquito blood, a Star Wars exhibit, and the Nike Fuelband SE.
