This week, Microsoft‘s rampant and silly AI, Google phones home, the Apple/FBI fight is over, Microsoft’s Build conference 2016, the smallest cell created, a 3D printed sonograph …All this and more on The Drill Down.
This week, Facebook Home on an iPhone?…well, kinda. Mark Zuckerberg pushes for immigration reform, Twitter music, Dish goes after Sprint, Google Glass specs, Google Fiber hits the slopes, and the Star Trek computer…powered by Google?
This week, Facebook Home, Anonymous hacks North Korea, Thunderbolt gets bolt-ier, Google Fiber rolls out to Austin, Bitcoin hits a bubble, Wikileaks wants to make a “˜Library of Congress’ of secret government documents, and we say goodbye to Roger Ebert.
On this week’s show, we’ll talk about Google‘s ambitious plan to put Gigabit Fiber in every home, beginning with Kansas City. And a look at the 2012 London Olympics, an Olympics so far fraught with technical challenges and social media disputes.
But first, the headlines…Rumored launch dates for the next Apple iPhone and iPad Mini, Verizon can’t charge extra for tethering, Microsoft launches Outlook.com, and Digg relaunches!
