We work in a ridiculous industry and it's time we acknowledged it
Ready or not, iOS 14 is out, Apple has an event with new watches, better iPads, and perplexing redesigns. And, of course, services galore.
The iOS 14 developer beta is broken, and we have strong opinions (or maybe we're just complaining). Epic is pulling a pro gamer move. Mozilla's seen better days, and the future of the web.
We review the Hey email client, Twitter VCs are going to war on Clubhouse, and this year's WWDC was one for the books.
Evan's a Musky boi now. The PS5 is gonna be big. Huge. And pretty weird looking. Stadia gets cheaper, but not for the obvious reasons, and the EU fights with Apple yet again.
Startup culture struggles in the 2020 economy, Google is back in the communications business for the billionth time, Zoom buys a security team, and Elon Musk unveils his latest creation.
Apple Airtag's name got leaked. Oops. That's the story. Zoom is in trouble. Apple bought the weather. And a story so bizarre I'm just gonna leave it off the notes.
We are living in historical times, luckily Joe and Evan are here to pilot the ship safely through these tricky waters. Also there are new iPads and iPadOS 13.4 is shipping with trackpad support and oh boy is that gonna be interesting...
Shopify controls transactions on the web, and you have no idea, app continues to be bad, developers are elitist, iOS 14, and Evan is full of hot air (easy joke).
Iowa did bad things with apps. Paper ballots, everyone. Microsoft had a rough week, Peloton is excited to hear someone say their name, Netflix's product managers deign to grace us with a new feature, and some NFC talk.
An official test of the brand new HPDS in-person systems featuring 20% new technology, 45% new jokes, and 100% more Soylent!
CES is over, the European Parliament is angry about the lightning cable, and Segway shows off the absolute cutting edge in lack of market awareness.
The Xbox Series X gets announced, Jack Dorsey wants you to know that he's aware Mastodon exists and they're gonna build it anyway, Google discloses nearly 1500 mobile device location histories to law enforcement, and some truly obsessive tech consumerism.
Going hands-on with the Stadia Founders Edition, Twitter has finally got a proper 2FA, robot lawyers are coming to help us understand dystopian license agreements, and Elon Musk goes full Tony Stark with the Tesla Internet Truck.
Microsoft Ignite happened and there's big news on the infrastructure as code front from Azure Resource Manager. Chromium Edge gets a release date of January 15th with new privacy features, and browser-based Visual Studio Code rolls out for testing to all developers. Also, Evan reviews the Airpods Pro and Instagram will start hiding like counts in the US starting this week.
To no one's surprise, Joe is really into Dickinson, Microsoft is updating the Edge logo for a new Chromium-based era, Jack Dorsey shows his butt to Mark Zuckerberg, Google has plans for a new watch with its Fitbit purchase, your Twitter questions, and more!
Evan finally got his hands on the iPhone 11, the boys have a good discussion on the physical limitations of 5G and why it's not coming to your rural town any time soon, Firefox is rolling out DoH with Cloudflare, and why that might not be such a great thing, and the absolute disaster that is trying to send a text message on the Android operating system.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 has a broken fingerprint sensor, Twitch passes on the Apple Tax, Netflix Q3 earnings report analysis, the Google Pixel 4, Evan's mad about something, and what the hell is Python Pickling?
Joe and Evan are really excited about Apple Arcade, then it's time for the inevitable dive into the influence the Chinese market has on American industry, specifically in the context of the past few weeks.
Tim Cook said a thing, so naturally we had to go for two hours. iPhone 11, Apple TV+, Apple Watch Series 5, why the iPad will never break into education, and mourning a dearly departed friend of the show. Enjoy our tenth episode-palooza special maximum ultra!
A roundup of all the the biggest Pear Phone and Watch rumors before the big conference tomorrow.
