Plus we still have some top headlines to check out! Google Messages app gets web support. France’s Front Youtube channel is wrecked by the same copyright legislation they support. Net Neutrality is properly dead. AND, WTF is up with the clickbait headlines around a totally normal car crash?

Phone manufacturers are desperately working towards “all screen” handsets, going so far as to cut into the screen just to fit hardware like the selfie camera. While this is an aggressive trend, many consumers still prefer buttons. Keyboards, programmable short cuts, camera shutter buttons. In this modern age, can hardware beat software? It’s time for a debate! A GEEK DEBATE!
Joshua and TK will talk out the pros and cons, then YOU decide the winner!

The viewer poll has four options. The premise of the debate is this video’s title: “Smartphone Buttons are Better than Gestures.”
Each poll option has TWO parts, if you originally agreed with that premise, and whether you changed your mind during the debate. So, if you originally AGREED with the premise, but TK changed your mind, then your vote will be “Agreed, but now disagree!”
