SJ177: My darling quaran-time, happy birthday Apple (& iPad), iPhone SE, T-Merger, FB & Zoom, & more

This week, co-Capn's Mike and Charles celebrate the birthdays of Apple and iPad, and offer up a bucket of free and cheap resources to help you cope, cadets (including Sirius XM, Curiosity Stream, your library's resources, Acorn TV and more). As a reminder, April 1 was also Subscription Review Day on the ship, so be sure to see if you're still paying for something you're no longer using! The crew also dig into the latest info on the upcoming "low cost" (relatively) iPhone (now called the SE 2020), which may be coming ... soon! All this, and our new official "hold music" from Mort Gerston!

There's also a big security bullet Apple just dodged, an acquisition of terrific weather app Dark Sky, a deal with Amazon that is great news for Prime Video users (and hopefully others soon), and more good news for Apple Music (have you tried it?). In non-Apple news, John Legere steps down as T-Merger CEO, Zoom continues to implode from either incompetence or malfeasance, Facebook tells Zoom to hold its beer in the "corporate misbehavior" sweepstakes, Tile whines, Apple self-owns a couple of times, and Apple Card holders and Audio Hijack users get a nice surprise! All this and more in even less time than usual, cadets, so be sure to don your news-compression safety gear (and pants) for this week's exciting episode!
