#SGGQA 320: Apple, Tech Journalism, and a Decade of Out of Control Hype…

HAPPY MONDAY!

I’m wrapping up some travel, and unfortunately can’t livestream today. I DID finish this video essay though, and it seemed a fitting addition to the topics we cover on this weekly show.

Tech journalists have been promising an Apple AR revolution for over a decade now, but very little commentary has come from Apple directly. This has had an enormous chilling effect on AR and VR markets.

Rumors. Leaks. FUD.

After a decade of reporting on a future mythical “Apple Glasses” product, what do we actually have?

Let’s get our tech week started right!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Last Monday of the month and I’m letting my hair down! PJ Podcast in full effect. We’ve got some tech stories to cover, but we’re going to hang out in a more casual way. Google might promise us more support, but they’re also struggling to get more folks using RCS.

And what the heck is going on with Surface RAM and Storage Prices?

#SGGQA 313: Tech and Tetris – Asus Says Goodbye to ZenFone, Sony Acquires Audeze, Google’s TERRIBLE AR Plans…

***

I REALLY needed a break and wanted to play some Tetris with some pals. This is probably one of the WORST audio podcasts I’ve ever produced, but it was exactly the kind of casual show I needed. The video replay will make a LOT more sense as we play a few rounds and chat about some tech gear. 

We’ll be back next week with a proper list of links and stories!

Happy Monday! Last Monday of the month! It’s a Pajama Podcast show!

This week we’re playing some Tetris while we chat about the news! This might be one of the poorer podcasts for audio listeners in my replay crew!

We’ll go wherever the chat wants to go, and we have a TON of topics we might cover. Asus might be killing the ZenFone line. Sony bought my favorite headphone manufacturer. Google and Samsung have a TERRIBLE plan for AR goggles.

AND CAN ANYONE BEAT ME IN TETRIS???
