In this week's episode, we'll tell you about a Saskatoon writer who's dumping all his Facebook friends — and then calling them about it, how Googling "Amazon fire" only got tech results for lots of people (instead of rainforest results), about a big Microsoft event coming in October, and how the US Federal Aviation Administration has outlawed drones with weapons on them.
We also dive deep into a Wall Street Journal investigation into Amazon kids' toys and how they can be dangerous, and Apple's response to the Siri voice recording leaks.
