The world is running down and we're bugging out to Canada and Estonia.

You own NOTHING & double billed for it. Beats headphones suck, does Beats/iTunes mashup Apple Music? Facial recognition faux-pas. Uber ups & downs. Facebook wants to stream, too!

Taylor Swift takes down Apple, or does she? France says non to Uber. Microsoft charging for Win10, or are they? CIA can't keep propaganda straight, or can they?

The boys are back in LA with a new theme song, despairing at new tech offerings but rejoicing at new books, attempting to play games without getting played, taking a bumper dump, kung fury, personalizing your aural world & a plethora of morons.
