Tech's Last Call Episode 80: Nadella's Solo-Mid Push


Listen Later

Have you missed your weekly dose of tech news? Have you been longing for the "insightful" analysis that Tech's Last Call has become known for? Do you even read these carefully crafted intros, do you skip straight to the mp3? Well, you are in luck! Trey and Sidney are back with a late but insightful dose of tech news. They cover Nadella's opus, which apparently means a 20% smaller Microsoft. The sheep (Apple) is laying down with the wolf (IBM) over some sort of enterprise focused partnership. Kindle has gone unlimited, and Tesla really wanted to spell Sex but were forced to spell it in 1337 speak instead (S3X). All this, plus, The International 4 has Trey making less sense than usual. One would have wondered if that was even possible.
