This week, Charles is back from New York but it's Mike that's broadcasting from different quarters; however, this will not stop them going over the big tech news of the week as usual. There was actually not a lot usual about this week, what with Tesla springing a surprise alongside their semi-truck announcement, the disappointment of the HomePod missing its December debut, and the shockingly good benchmark scores from the iPhone X. Also discussed on the ship this week is the nice reviews for the Xbox One X and Nintendo Switch, the mostly-good reviews for the Google Pixel Buds, and kids' smartwatches being destroyed in Germany. All this plus a DirecTV deal, the Apple TV 4K for Xmas, Apple's iconic new TV ad, our changing usage habits, Vimeo adding support for HDR, a mini-rant about FireFox, a new Sonnet TB3 graphics box deluxe, and how to fend off a shark attack with your Apple Watch LTE. All this and more, cadets, so grab a size larger helmet -- your brain is gonna be a size larger once we've exploded this info-bomb inbetween your earholes!
