Earnings for Apple and Twitter are in and we talk to Nathan Oliveres-Giles about the first decline in quarterly revenue for the company since 2003. Meanwhile, Twitter struggles to define itself, even as it gains users. YouTube tests a new ad format, DropBox launches a new version of its cloud service, and Google, Ford, Volvo, Uber, and Lyft have put aside their differences to form a coalition to work with lawmakers and civic organizations to push self-driving cars onto the road. Afterward, we interview Michael Sippy about his new app Talkshow that lets you text your friends in public.

Hosts: Megan Morrone and Jason Howell

Tonight, we celebrate the one year birthday of the Apple Watch, a device that has not yet delivered on one of its biggest promises...or any of its promises. Next, we cover earnings predictions for Apple with Rene Ritchie of iMore, and Twitter earnings predictions with Kurt Wagner of Re/code. Twitter also has a new feature that makes it easier to report trolls. Next, we chat with digital strategist Wynter Mitchell from Pop Rocket about Prince, Beyoncé, and the politics of online streaming. Finally, we answer a question about the cracked screen on Jason's Galaxy S7, and discuss the curious crash of a Google Loon balloon.
