MacNN Podcast Episode 59

Published: April 18, 2016, 5:40 p.m.

A much better mix of straight news -- good and bad -- and crazy-bananas stories, ranging from bizarre patents to the worst design of a possible "Apple Car" you've ever seen. This week, Mike and Charles talk about what they'd do if they ran Apple, the change of heart at Smile Software over TextExpander, the latest from the FBI and DOJ (including a security revelation from BlackBerry), and finally the weird news of the week, then William's Apple of the Week, which this time is a technical downgrade. All this and cheap laughs, as usual.
