Lots of tech died this year. Went into maintenance mode. Ceased operations. Faded into the distance. Got gobbled up for IP and jettisoned like a spent piece of used jet trash. The hosts run down the list of everything service, app, and piece of hardware that died in 2016. Many we will miss. Some we certainly will not.

Some links: Samsung’s explodo-phone. David’s glowing, claim-chowdery profile of the Project Ara crew. Mat Honan’s 2013 piece about Vine’s distinct culture. Raftery’s Vine eulogy. Hoverboards. VCRs. Ugh. Recommendations this week are Mixcloud and Timepage for iOS.
