Published: Sept. 29, 2014, 9:34 a.m.

b'Jake deliberates on purchasing an unwanted iPhone 6 plus from a friend, while Ben talks about his first impressions and the bugs in the recently released iOS8, and Jelly gets shirty about the whole watch thing.\\n\\nAn off-the-cuff comment from Jelly spurs a conversation about devices like the Microsoft Surface and a theoretical iPad Pro. This somehow devolves into a trip down memory lane, with Jake talking about his Psion handheld computer, and Jelly recounting his love for Snake on the Nokia 3310.\\n\\nA terrible first impression with the iPhone 6 has convinced Ben to try out an Android phone for a year. This leads to a discussion about the inherent bugginess of iOS8, especially on the new devices, and whether Apple has bitten off more than they could chew with this year\\u2019s releases. The couch then talks about the lock-in effect of being immersed within one company\\u2019s ecosystem, and whether that\\u2019s a deliberate move.\\n\\nJake\\u2019s attempts to get Family Sharing set up spurs discussion about verifying people\\u2019s age and how and why Apple (or any tech company, really) would want to this.\\n\\nFinally, Jake manages to actually talk about something development related, using the current discussion surrounding the Apple Watch and it\\u2019s price factor to discuss emotional design, and how the emotions evoked by the design of your app affects it\\u2019s utility.'
