Mikey and Sawyer discuss the middle device between a phone and a computer, which is almost always an iPad. They review Mikey's iPad Mini and figure out exactly the one thing the iPad does best. Topics include: why the iPad didn't eat the computer, why it might eat the phone, and why the Surface Duo is so attractive as a concept, but not as it currently exists.

Sawyer tells a story about recommending a service that recently shut down, and this brings Mikey to the topic at hand: photos. What do you do with them? How do you trust they'll still be there if you want to see them later? How much money do you have to throw at this problem? And can there just be one place where they live (tldr: no).

Is trying to get everyone on board with new workflows always a mistake? Do you just drive yourself nuts knowing the future is right there, just out of reach, while everyone else around you is fine just faxing stuff?

Mikey and Sawyer talk WWDC 2016, and in the process wrestle with spending personal time watching corporate keynotes. Is it a waste of time for a regular consumer? What is it about nerdy drama that keeps us coming back? And is it about the products, the people, or the (once again) weird feeling of unearned superiority from knowing stuff faster than other people?

Sawyer's apartment didn't burn down, but most of his messaging apps might as well have. This week, he and Mikey dive deeper into the strange cesspool of the psychology of messaging services.

Sawyer has ten messaging apps. Mikey has nine. Most everyone with a smartphone has at least five. How is this the new normal? Also, Mikey has a new phone, and Sawyer's apartment is burning.

What happens when you fall in love with a failing music service? What do you tell the people who signed up due to your evangelism? What happens when the boat sinks? Mikey Llorin and Sawyer Paul discuss Rdio, the dead and loved online music service. Show notes: Soundiiz - move playlists between online music services Yeah, um, Apple Music is way too complicated.

Sawyer Paul explains how his interest in offbeat and weird technology began with being the only kid he knew with a TurboGrafx-16. Mikey Llorin makes a revelatory statement about the narcissism of going against the grain. Note: We mention Contra a few times but we both totally meant R-Type.
