It's hardware-palooza day on Apple Context Machine with Apple introducing a new entry level 21.5-inch iMac, Amazon unveiling its Android-based Fire Phone smartphone, and Adobe launching its own iPad stylus and ruler combo called Ink and Slide. Jeff Gamet and Bryan Chaffin dive into all three announcements and don't hold back on what they do -- and don't -- like.

Google is taking to the skies, or more accurately, to orbit with its own satellite imaging company, the European Union isn't happy with Ireland's corporate tax laws, and Apple wants us to exploit our personal fitness data, not other companies. Jeff Gamet and Bryan Chaffin talk about what all of that means for Apple, plus they have a little Bel-Air easter egg for you.

Apple hosted its annual keynote presentation at Worldwide Developer Conference this week, so Jeff and Bryan have plenty to talk about. They took a look at what they like from iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, how Apple is marginalizing Google branding in searches, the move towards smart home control, health and fitness tracking, and more.

Apple finally brought an end to the speculation Wednesday afternoon when it announced the planned purchase of Beats Music. Jeff and Bryan prognosticate on what that means for Apple and the music industry, talk about Apple's rumored plans for home automation and how Google's Nest Thermostat purchase plays in, and look at Amazon's bully tactics in the book market.

Apple is doomed! Doomed! Or, at least it is according to Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry. Jeff and Bryan call Trip to task for his off-base prognostication and take a look at why TMO's Apple Death Knell Counter still gets entries. They also have some pretty strong opinions on Google collecting our personal information and what that's doing to consumer trust.

Interest in Apple's unannounced iPhone 6 is on the rise, and there are plenty of rumors about what's in store. Jeff and Bryan take a look at few and offer their take on whether or not they're legit. There's also the report that Apple is buying Beats, and a cryptocurrency online vault was hacked, so there's more than enough for them to talk about this week.

Apple's long list of hires from the medical and fitness industries has the medtech market worried about what might be coming from Cupertino, and rightly so. Turns out Samsung has a history of copying other companies, plus Apple won another JD Power award, and the NSA is making it hard for us to trust the tech industry. Jeff and Bryan dive into all these stories with a little Doomsday action on the side.

Apple's 7-to-1 stock split is about to happen, so Jeff and Bryan dive into what that means for shareholders big and small. They also have plenty to say about Amazon's new place in the digital comic market thanks to its ComiXology purchase, and they look at the possibility of an Apple-run online search engine.

Dave Hamilton sits in for Jeff Gamet this week, and he and Bryan Chaffin gab about Mac upgrades, Apple's courtroom Google gambit, and what they think Apple's iPhone lineup will look like by the end of 2014. They also chew on Apple's decision to open up Mavericks betas to the public.
