OS Maturity Nov 07, 2012

Show notes

Today on the 5: When I got the new Samsung Galaxy S III last week, it occurred to me that one of the things that has happened with Android is that the OS itself has become less of a consideration.

Today on the 5: A friend recently told me he's going to be test driving the new WiiU system from Nintendo. I think the WiiU may be the last console Nintendo comes out, or at the very least is the beginning of the end.

Morality Pricing Oct 30, 2012

Show notes

Today on the 5: We hear frequently about the hidden costs of the things we buy. Slave labor, child labor, unfair working conditions...do any of these factor into our spending, or do we just pay attention when it's something we don't care about?

Ownership Oct 29, 2012

Show notes

Today on the 5: A story made the rounds earlier in the week about an Amazon customer who found that her Kindle library had been effectively erased, and that she was banned from buying anything from Amazon again.
