Published: May 22, 2013, 4:14 p.m.

Mat Honan is a senior writer at Wired.\n\n"[The tech] industry \u2014 especially as it relates to a lot the silly apps and the silly websites and the silly shit that we put up with \u2014\xa0is ridiculous. It's just such a hype fest, people living off of jargon and nonsense. There are entire conferences devoted to nonsense! ... I like to skewer that stuff, because I don't want to feel responsible for it. I don't want to feel like I'm making someone go out and buy some piece of shit they don't need."\n\nShow notes:\n@mat\nhonan.net\n[0:30] Pop-Up Magazine\n[2:00] "How Apple and Amazon Security Flaws Led to My Epic Hacking" (Wired \u2022 Aug 2012)\n[6:00] "Yes, I Was Hacked.
