b'On this episode host Terrence O\\u2019Brien is joined by executive editor Dana Wollman and (eventually) senior editor Chris Velazco. They start by looking at the current state of cord cutting and weigh the value of YouTube\\u2019s new live streaming TV package. Then they\\u2019ll try to figure out what the benefit is of Netflix ditching its five star rating system for a simplified option of just thumbs up or thumbs down. Obviously you can watch YouTube and Netflix on an actual television, but portable screens are an increasingly important part of the media market. How does the new 2017 iPad stack up in that world of mobile media machines? Well, pretty good if you ask Chris -- at $329 it doesn\\u2019t seem to have too many competitors.\\nLastly the trio sign off by recommending an album that will make you cry, a movie that will make you pee your pants and book you\\u2019ll die before finishing.\\nRelevant links:\\nhttps://www.engadget.com/2017/04/05/netflix-thumbs/\\nhttps://www.engadget.com/2017/04/05/youtube-tv-now-available/\\nhttps://www.engadget.com/2017/04/06/apple-ipad-2017-review/\\nThe Wind Down:\\nMount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me: http://amzn.to/2oeGi7r\\nJaws: http://amzn.to/2oeFaAy\\nRafik Schami - Dark Side of Love: http://amzn.to/2nIVMgf\\n\\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.'
