You probably read this, but Jim Dalrymple went off on Apple Music: http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/07/22/apple-music-is-a-nightmare-and-im-done-with-it/

But then he got his music back. All he had to do is go to Cupertino: http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/07/24/i-got-my-music-back-at-least-most-of-it/

Jason Snell likes Apple Music in his library: http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/07/in-praise-of-apple-music-in-my-itunes-library/

T-Mobile added Apple Music to its Freedom Plan: http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/28/t-mobile-adds-apple-music-to-its-data-free-music-freedom-plan/

John Legere really wants Lex to get a new phone... TODAY. (http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/issues-insights-blog/iphone-offer-music-freedom-amped.htm)

Recurring special guest Guy English joins us as Lex is out striking important business deals (http://www.midroll.com/pr/).

We recorded this before Apple's results were announced (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/07/appleq3results/) but as Apple was having some uptime issues with its online services (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/).

People may really like their Apple Watches, if you believe surveys (https://techpinions.com/the-state-of-apple-watch-satisfaction/41126).

Dan will one day be the last man driving around with robot cars but it'll be like that episode of the Twilight Zone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last

Which is not the same as the one with the stopwatch that stops time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Peace_and_Quiet

Who buys iPods? These people: http://www.birchtree.me/blog/who-buys-ipods

Lex and Dan talk about their Echoes but I'm tired of linking to that. You can find it.

Walt Mossberg has some tips and tricks for the Echo, which I hate: http://recode.net/2015/07/07/the-amazon-echo-everything-you-might-not-know/
