TC AppleCast 5: That Crazy Apple Car Maybe Isn’t So Crazy
Apple has spent the whole week in the news because of a car it might be making, so that’s a real thing that happened. We discuss how the rumor went from airy tales to something quite solid, including a possible timeline for launch in 2020.

TC Droidcast Episode 38: Just No, Neptune Duo
This week, we have a rare opportunity to just plain unleash on a device: The Neptune Duo, which puts all the smartphone smarts inside an Android-powered smartwatch, then makes the screen in your pocket essentially a dumb receiver. It’s backwards and bad, and we find we’re mostly in agreement on that point. In other news, LG has another Android Wear device coming to market, making… Read More

Apple could be building a car, apparently, so naturally we had to talk about that. It seems likely Apple would want to anticipate a future where cars fall within a tech company’s purview, so in that regard it isn’t surprising.

This week, join us as we discuss the plans Nvidia might have for its big GDC announcement on March 3.

It’s purely in our imagination for now, but how fun would that be?… Read More
