Description

This week: more iCar rumors are swirling… is Apple preparing to give Tesla a run for its money?  Plus: the industries we want Apple to conquer next; why we need Cupertino to get into the space game; college kids love iPhones more than sexy time;  our favorite packs for toting about Apple and DSLR gear; and stay tuned to the end for our new segment, Cross The Streams, where we’ll cover the shows we can’t stop binge-watching.
 
Our thanks to Varidesk for their support! With models starting at just $275, Varidesk is the highest quality, least expensive way that we know of to get started with a standing desk.  And you should absolutely check them out, because moving to a standing desk will change your life.
