E3 happened this week! Microsoft revealed their new console, the Xbox One X (a horrible name). There were also a slew of games. To round things out we talk about Uber’s latest happenings and Amazon purchasing Whole Foods.
247: Playing On New Operating Systems
This week we dive deep into Apple’s WWDC where they release updates for their four operating systems. At the same time, E3 took place and we review a bunch of the new games announced. Oh yeah, and Microsoft bought LinkedIn.
195: Do You Think This Is A Game?
This week we talk about…
Google playing with photos (see image above), E3 where Microsoft and Sony show off all sorts of cool goodies, the future of virtual reality from Oculus, Valve & Starbreeze, Nintendo level maker and MarI/O, the death of the Mac, the possibilities of WebAssembly, Apple Music and TSwift, and finally Uber’s employees of the California Labor Commission.

90: The Battle Of Three Conferences
Lots of innovations announced this week at three separate conferences. Competition is heating up around the tech space, and we love it.
At Apple’s WWDC, they unveil OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 – both look awesome for Apple fanboys like ourselves. At E3, Sony wins by keeping used games like normal and undercutting Microsoft’s XBone by $100. Matthew keeps the faith alive for Nintendo. Finally, James reviews HP’s Discover conference. HP wants to be the back-end system to house and serve data for new hardware like tablets and wearables.

83: Sociology 101
Tech companies are changing the way we learn and think. We are slowly, but surely, shifting our entire lives digitally. In some ways, they resemble our physical lives, but more often than not they’re able to take the best parts and meld them together into something greater. That’s what we talked about today. BTW, the “Y” in Sociology is invisible, but it’s totally there. That’s phycology!
Blue seed wants to make a boat to solve immigration, the Wii outsold the Wii U, Nintendo will skip the E3 keynote, Facebook has sociology data, Phablets aren’t a phad, Netflix is dominating again, online education is just getting started, Google Fiber is happening, NASA is shooting phones into space.

There Is No Time For E3
It’s E3! In honor of E3 we have a very special episode for you. We invited two industry experts to give us their thoughts and opinions on the five presentations. We covered Microsoft and Halo 4, EA being better with connect, Nike+, Univision, SmartGlass, Internet Explorer, and Black Ops 2. We talk about EA, the UFC, and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. We briefly touch on Ubisoft. A gush about Sony and Beyond, AllStars, Assassin’s Creed, their new Wonderbook: Book of Spells, and The Last of Us. We finish up with Nintendo, who didn’t have enough time to tell us about the new Wii U, or Mario, or Pikmin, or the 3DS, or Lego City.
