37: Man in a Tub Apr 06, 2011

Show notes

Dan Benjamin talks with John Gruber, who is fascinated by Android versions, the app market and terrible advice about it, bored with creepy games, and convinced Amazon is the appstore wildcard because Google's in it for the ads. Before discussing Live and Let Die and #5byBond they consider whether a normal person should switch from Windows to the Mac or to the iPad.
