You’ve Never Seen a Bluetooth Speaker Cuter Than the UE Wonderboom Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

People always askme to recommend a portable Bluetooth speaker, and I reflexively mention the same one every time: the UE Boom. The latestversion of this portable powerhouse, the UE Boom 2, provides damn near everything most peoplewant in a speaker. It sounds great, the battery lasts half a day, and you can bring it anywhere. It’s even waterproof and mudproof, so you can take it rafting. All that for $200. But that’s still too much Bitcoin for most people.

The Walking Dead Recap Season 7 Episode 15: Can People Just Start Fighting Already, Please? Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

The sun has long since set by the time the cars and RVs ramble back into Alexandria to find a somber Rosita at the gate. She says nothing about Sasha's whereabouts, but instead tells Rick, Michonne, Tara and the rest that they have company. That company turns out to be the man in the shadows in last week's episode: Dwight. He wants to help, he says. While he may be Negan's bootleg version of Daryl, Dwight has never been the duplicitous type.

Facebook Messenger Finally Makes Group Chat Not a Total Hassle Mar 28, 2017

Show notes

But it hasn’t handled large groups effectively because it lacked some of the key elements that make group messaging fun. It was too simple. A pair of new features, called Reactions and Mentions, constitute part of Facebook’s bid to make Messenger more inclusive.

Enough With the Unoriginal Sci-Fi. Looking at You, Life Mar 27, 2017

Show notes

Science fiction cinema has a longstanding problem:Good ideas abound, butgreat ones are in short supply. (And most of the good ones have been used.) After decades of drought, 2001: A Space Odyssey spawned Solaris andStar Wars and Alien, and the genre became popular, but pulpily so; parades of familiartropes spackled over withterrible visual effects.

The Guy Behind Ello (Remember Ello?) Just Built a Better Snapchat Mar 24, 2017

Show notes

Let’s clear this up right from the start:Paul Budnitz does not want to take over the world. He didn’t createEllo to disrupt Facebook, even if the media sayshe did. And he definitely didn’t launchWuu, an app that looks like Snapchat and Instagram yet stands firmly opposed to so much about them, in a bidto kill them. Really. He swears. No, Budnitz sees Wuu creating aspace beyond those global town squares.

Show notes

Some mornings-not many, but some-you wake up to a new iPhone. Surprise! This is one of those mornings. And while today's new iPhone acts just like the old one, it adds a certain special something. It's red. Yes, red, a bright, brilliant, gleaming red, a shade so bright it makes rose gold blush. The case is read. The buttons are red. The fiddly little nano-SIM tray? It's red, too. The Apple logo? Not red. Sorry! But it really pops against all the rest of the red.

Why Instagram Is Suddenly the Place for Sports Highlights Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

No end of sites and platforms make it easy to watch sports highlights on your phone. But none is more now than House of Highlights. The bombastic, occasionally NSFW Instagram account is the hottest thing going, due in no small part to the dedication of its 22-year-old founder, Omar Raja. "He's honestly like the modern SportsCenter, or the young person's SportsCenter," says Dave Finocchio, CEO of the sports news website Bleacher Report, which bought House of Highlights a couple of years ago.
