  • Language matters!

    I was trying to listen to the ‘Apple turns 50’ chat but after a while I just gave up - I encountered a constant flow of ‘like.. you know.. like.. you know..’ Like, you know, in every, like, meaning, you know. It gets kinda, you know, like, tiresome. Language, you know, matters.

  • Horrible Podcast

    Had to unsubscribe from this podcast - this is suppose to be a tech podcast,but the horrible insertion of political points of views are intolerable.The presenters of this podcast even acknowledge the poor ratings of this podcast on Apple Podcasts due their political opinions - some free advice,maybe listen to the feedback from listeners that have to consume your podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RGB TVs, OLED and the TVs you should buy today
Q: Final question for you Dipin, do projectors even matter anymore?
Projectors still offer a distinct cinema-like experience and can be a great option in space-constrained or backyard setups; ultra-short-throw models can bring big-screen impact into smaller rooms, though calibration is essential for best results.
Can Microsoft fix Windows 11 by dumping AI?
Q: So Mark, what was your impression based on this news? When you first read it, what is your impression about this potential fix? Do you think it could fix Windows 11?
Mark notes that the changes are overdue and mostly swing back toward user-driven functionality rather than AI saturation, suggesting they could improve Windows 11 if they deliver practical, fast, stable upgrades and give users meaningful control over the experience.
Is the MacBook Neo the one? + Anthropic vs. DoD with Spencer Ackerman
Q: What is the DoD hoping to do with Anthropic's Claude, and why does Anthropic object?
Anthropic argues for restrictions on how Claude can be used within government systems, opposing mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, because of ethical and safety concerns and the risk of unreliable AI in critical decisions.
Best of CES 2026 + Pebble’s founder on his new watch and AI ring
Q: What do you think of the Index 01 ring compared to other AI wearable devices?
Eric discussed that the Index 01 is aimed at providing direct utility and is designed to remember important thoughts and ideas, unlike competitors that record extensive data without a clear need.
Why did Apple choose Gemini for next-gen Siri?
Q: Would they expand their partnership with OpenAI?
Apple announced that Google's Gemini AI will be powering its next-generation Apple Foundation model.
