Apple's HomePod launched this week. We show you how it works and how it stacks up to its competition like Google Home Max, Sonos One, Amazon Echo Show, and the Harman Kardon Invoke.

The #TWiTSwitch continues as Megan Morrone and Jason Howell pit the Apple Watch vs. Android Wear, High School Debate style.

How do you replace your phone's OS if you want a non-Android platform? Find out in our 'Call for Help.'

Jason reviews the Fusion Guitar - a 'smart' electric guitar that has built-in speakers, amp, recorder, and iPhone integration.

Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ shows how to keep your network safe by scanning for open ports with Nmap.

Plus, we answer more Android questions in our 'Mail Bag.'
