Tech's Last Call Episode 77: Ballmer-ing in the Boostabego


Listen Later

What does Tech's Last Call do with news of the Snapchat CEO writing terrible emails in college, Steve Ballmer buying the Clippers, and Google trying to "transform urban transportation"? Hopelessly mock it of course - complete with dramatic readings of said terrible emails. Also, there is a strong return to space news with Google's latest, slightly less racist, satellite venture and Elon Musk's reusable, crew carrying capsule. Also, in news that shouldn't be mocked, Skype Translator seems pretty legit.
