Flipping Tables

Mike returns to talk SDCC and his undying love of attending conferences. Lyons finally gets to talk about Pokémon GO.

Matt of Bits & Pieces guests to talk about the permanence of internet storage, and the dream of Chromebooks connected to cloud services.

Susan of Eclectic Readers fame guests this week to talk with Lyons about all the things wrong with streaming and subscription media services.

Comcast does something nice? And Lyons is counting the seconds until he can move back to Android. Fingers crossed for a great 2016 Nexus.

Comcast end-of-life's Mike's very much alive modem. Email is a thing you can control, sort of. And Apple versus Spotify.

Comcast strikes again. And a deep discussion on perceived UX versus the functional reality. Also doors, doors, and more doors.

Mike and Lyons get Google Cardboard. Mike's mom tries VR for the first time. And Nintendo showed Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild at E3 complete with male Link, then made asses of themselves when asked about a female Link.

WWDC 2016 happened and we have lots of words to say about it.

Lyons got hurt and Mike bought a new bag. Microsoft shows customers how they feel about their autonomy with Windows 10 upgrade tricks. And VR was finally experienced in person.

Our subreddit for discussing episodes has launched so come chat! Could a phone be usable with a truly edge to edge screen? Pebble pivots to focus on fitness. And Mike sings Uncharted 4's praises.

Google I/O 2016 happened. Moar messaging apps, Google Home, and Android on ChromeOS. And somehow Lyons finds a way to still talk about his iPhone SE.

Lyons' iPhone SE arrived and the following is a recording of that event. The Good, The Bad, and if you're Mike; the Stockholm syndrome.

Lyons buys an iPhone SE (that hasn't arrived yet.) The shift from desktop to mobile has largely happened. And Mike shares insights on spec work inspired by CGP Grey's recent job ad.

Talkshow.im is texting in public, but is it worth doing? And Square Enix is finally learning that people will pay money for classic style JRPGs like Bravely Second and I Am Setsuna.

The Slacklash continues! Is threaded messaging enough to make Slack into a 'real' collaboration tool? And the radical plan to use a calendar and time marking system based on logic and not which ruler most recently invaded your country.

The trailer for Rogue One is out and looks really promising. Mike vents about Microsoft Office Updater updating with huge updates after it updates itself. And could Google make Swift a first-class language on Android?

They just don't make Final Fantasy like they used to. And if the future is APIs and the Internet of Things we should probably figure out some ground rules.

We're done reporting on Apple vs the FBI! Tons of followup about funding OSS. The Bash shell comes to Windows. And Miitomo is totally maybe the future of social networking but probably not.

The term 'holoportation' may never catch on but hopefully th technology does! Microsoft isn't just about hololense though, they also made an (accidentally) bigotted AI named Tay. And our spoilerific discussion of 'Batman v Superman'.

Instagram joins Twitter in embracing algorithmic timelines, Steve Wozniak admits the fabled garage of Apple's origins is a myth, and Napter's Sean Parker is back with an idea to bring theatrical release movies to home on release day, with support from Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams and Peter Jackson. NOTE: We recorded this episode before the breaking news of the FBI's near total withdrawal from their All Writs Act order against Apple.
