Podcast Episode #296 – The Jagged Pebble

December 12, 2016

Pebble didn’t really lie when they said Fitbit wouldn’t be absorbing all operations . . . they just left out the part that said NO ONE was going to do operations.  Sorry backers!
In other news, we now know why all those Note 7’s kept going up in flames. It’s physics! We also know why iPhone 6s’s were bricking. It’s chemistry!  And we know how Facebook is going to battle “fake news”. With stupidity!
