  • Tech News Today 1479: Cracks in the VR Kumbaya

    Tonight we're joined by cartoonist and podcaster Scott Johnson from My Extra Life and Frogpants Studios. First, we talk about the court documents put forward by the FBI that say they no longer need Apple's help in unlocking the work iphone of the shooter in San Bernardino. We also discuss Pandora's future, Instagram algorithms, and Facebook's power and responsibility when it comes to our daily lives. Next, we speak to Peter Rubin from Wired about Oculus Rift. Plus, we throw in a little discussion of cyber guns and the FCC, Louis CK, tech news, heroin, and lots and lots of metaphors.

                  • Tech News Today 1478: It's Dangerous To Go Alone

                    Tonight we're joined by Georgia Dow and Rene Ritchie from iMore. We talk Netflix throttling (for your own good), Apple contesting the FBI in Brooklyn, and accessibility for Android. We also delve into the silent world of depression and anxiety in the gaming community. Next, we talk to two editors at Engadget about their decision to close the comments section for a week. Then, Georgia talks CareKit while Rene shows off the new iPad Pro, as well as the new iPhone SE, and tells us his first thoughts on these devices that are shipping next week. Finally, we discuss Microsoft's apology for the chat bot Tay that they released this week, which turned racist in less than 24 hours. Could they have done more to prevent this?
