Welcome to Episode 40 of The Tech Informist!

On our big 4 - 0 episode, we talk about Google+ and some of the changes you can expect over there. Also we are still curious as to why people just are determined to ignore what is one of the best social media platforms out there. People flock to services like Snapchat, but why is that? Just a heads up that we had a brief technical issue at around the 2 minute 30 second mark so I would like to apologize for that ahead of time.

Plenty of other things are on tap as well for this episode, so enjoy!

During Episode 38, we were saddened to learn of the passing of Leonard Nimoy who was best known for his role as "Dr. Spock" on Star Trek. His catchphrase of "Live long & prosper" will never be forgotten. RIP Mr. Nimoy.

On a lighter note, we had some interesting things to discuss on Episode 38 regarding Apple, Pebble, Rent-A-Center & Qualcomm so grab something good to drink, sit back and enjoy the show!
