Happy Monday! I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!
The news block this week is one of the wackiest I’ve ever cobbled together.
Gigi Sohn withdraws from FCC appointment. WWE wants to legalize betting on scripted matches. South Korea wants to improve the national birthrate by making the work week LONGER. Vinyl has overtaken CD in music sales. EU warns Twitter over moderation. Samsung loses ANOTHER Qualcomm chip. US regulators are insuring the deposits held at Silicon Valley Bank.
And we HAVE to chat about all this SPACE ZOOM nonsense, and the Samsung Knights out here defending silly marketing.
Let’s get our tech week started right!
