This week, The Drill Down crew looks back at the year in tech and the web for the year 2013. We’ll discuss our favorite tech events of the past year, and what we can expect in 2014.
Before that, however, we discuss a recent discovery that the NSA sought to spy on gamers, eight top tech companies ban together to reform surveillance laws, and is Apple‘s iBeacon just a marketing gimmick or are there bigger plans in store?
This week, at Apple‘s WorldWide Developer Conference, Apple rolls out new updates for Macbooks, OSX, iOS 7, and a new Mac Pro! Also at E3, we find out more about the XBox One, the PS4, and all the great games you’ll be playing on them. Plus Google buys Waze, and cloud storage with real clouds!
This week, Google buys a quantum computer, Yahoo buys instant cool with Tumblr and spruces up tired old Flickr, Aereo & Arrested Development disrupt Big Media, and Microsoft launches the next-generation of XBox. Plus, our review of Star Trek: Into Darkness!
This week we begin the slide into the Holidays with Black Friday & Cyber Monday, Microsoft & Apple drop key team members, Apple patents the page turn, Nintendo launches the Wii U, and real (and hoax) Facebook changes make users nervous.
This week’s show, the JesusPhone version 5 descends to humanity, and sales both break records AND disappoint, depending on who you ask. Plus, iOS 6 Maps…Did Apple jump the gun before they were ready? and did they have a choice?
But first, the headlines…Nintendo announces launch dates and pricing for the Wii U, Google rejects request to pull controversial Mohammad film clip, Google lets you search for the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, Steve Ballmer hints at Microsoft Surface pricing, Twitter undergoes major overhaul.
