  <itunes:subtitle>This week, Brian and Angelo discuss Amazon's Rekognition project, Alexa recording your every word, how you need to reboot your router, the demise of the Essential phone, Bitcoin ruins everything, and how the math men have overtaken the mad men when it comes to advertising.

  <itunes:subtitle>This week, Brian asks Angelo if they talk about too much Apple stuff, and after agreeing that they do, they proceed to talk about how Apple’s laptops seem to have keyboard issues, how Apple is discontinuing their AirPort line of wifi routers, and the origins of many of the original Macintosh icons. They also throw in some Ray Kurzweil talk and a look at psycho-electric weapons for some balance. Brian presents what he has learned about Raëlianism in the first of an occasional series on alien/UFO cults.
