82: I Can Haz Ubercorn?

82: I Can Haz Ubercorn?

Brian hammers home some more bad news about the sharing economy and Uber. Many people are in search of the elusive Ubercorn. Why is hash-tagging done so poorly. Anonymity online is a fools errand. More books, podcasts, and even an app!

81: Congratulations... Now Get Off My Internet!

81: Congratulations... Now Get Off My Internet!

Fur flies in this action packed episode where two people, without actual fur, go fisticuffs over the future of social networks. Astute business advice from a chronically broke dude. The 'Horribleification' of the Internet. And the music biz is still dead.

77: Ello Clarice...

Big fingers required. Apple just won't stop screwing up. Facebook gets drones. The great gay exodus and the future of Ello. Bash is broken and nerds everywhere pull an all-nighter. Kevin Mitnick is cashing in. And oh so much more...

76: Preferably, Without You...

Stay the hell out of our thought experiments! You're stuck with Twitter's shenanigans for a few years. Jason dumps his technolust. Brian got his Uber reach-around finally. The 1099 economy hits new lows. We review some crappy young adult novels.

Best value at a bar. Ask A Geek: why we don't build apps, why we work on the web, and what's up with our personal projects. How to handle getting hacked. Pizza and domestic violence.
