Tech's Last Call Episode 59: Bieber is Boring


Listen Later

This week is our first episode in the new format, so while we may be shorter, more focused, we still find time to rant about how Justin Bieber is probably actually a person, how Maxis made the wrong Sim City game, and how the ISPs are now going to find new ways to screw us. Yes, the Court of Appeals effectively shut down Net Neutrality. The NSA can install malware without an Internet connection, and EA is finally giving us offline Sim City. As it turns out there is a lot to rant about. Also, Google buying Nest could lead to Skynet taking over your home. I'm just saying...it could happen.
