Rarely have we seen a summer so full of actual news and salicious rumors! If only we have some sort of blog or site where we could write about such things. Alas, alack, this podcast will have to do. This week, Charles and Mike launch into the Gawker shutdown, the latest rumors (and walkbacks) about the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2 (electric boogaloo), the new betas for iOS 10, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 scratch controversy, Pandora's shift in strategy, the flooding in Louisiana, and offer a trio of rants on Rio Olympic officials and chemistry, Uber and driverless cars, and CVS Pay and customer pain. Scratch the surface and dig in deep -- its an algae bloom of tech talk!
