b'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.
