118: The Annual Postdictions Show. Some Predictions Included.

Happy New Year 2014

Matthew reviewed all the news that happened in 2013 and compare it to our predictions.

We discuss news about Apple, Facebook, Google, Blackberry, Microsoft, 4k TVs, Tesla, Dell, Twitter, Xbox, Play Station, Nintendo, Steam, SimCity and a little bit about security. We graded ourselves an A- for our predictions. In the 3rd hour of the show (yes!) we got down to our 2014 predictions. There will be a cut with just this part of the show.
