Future Feature is a podcast with hosts Michael and Peter. We discuss tech news and trends, finance, and random other topics every week. Sometimes we agree, most times we don’t, regardless we usually learn something. A few of our favorite topics are: Apple, Drones, Bitcoin, Amazon, Kickstarter, Wear…
Peter unveils our new podcast artwork to Michael and we listen to the shows intro for the first time. Peter shares details about his first Fiverr experience. Michael brings up the dark side of Fiverr with a story about Pewdiepie. We discuss our first experiences with the iPhone reflecting back on the last 10 years of iPhone. Peter briefly goes over how iPhone came to be inside Apple. How original apps from 10 years ago no longer work and we will never be able to use them again. We discuss our love affair with the iMac G4 and the ad that accompanied it. Michael would rather have an emulator than the new SNES classic. Peter can’t stand emulators and would rather have anything close to the original. We discuss the new free Sega Forever apps and the conversation leads to how Michael wont pay to remove ads. Peter received his Square Cash debit card and we discuss the process of making one. We discuss credit cards a bit and how I’m going to frame my Amex Platinum Card. *Correction: Peter mentioned the annual fee is either $350 or $450, it is actually $550! Airbnb is working on a luxury tier where people can live like the 1%. We discuss our Airbnb experiences both the good and the bad. Both of us agree that TripAdvisor is positively skewed in the worst way for travel. Everyone on the site has low standards in regards to quality food and lodging.

Peter shares his thoughts so far on his new 12.9 iPad Pro and iMac. We both get free Amazon Dash Wands because they can afford to buy Whole Foods and we discuss what we think of the Dash. We cheer about Uber’s CEO finally resigning and then discuss that it’s only superficial as he is still on the board. Peter goes on and on about his love for the Snap Spectacles and Michael judges him the entire time. Meanwhile we discuss Snapchat’s new map feature that neither of us will ever use or care about. Michael guesses how many cameras Peter travels with and it’s way too many. Peter got a little bit of time with the new Surface Laptop and shockingly enjoyed the quality. We get way too excited about the newest emojis that were just announced and decided that we both dig the T-Rex the most. Nokia officially takes over all of the Withings product line and we dive into what we hope to see come from the acquisition.

This week’s big news was E3. Michael and Peter talk about a few major announcements like Mario and the Xbox One X. Amidst all the gaming news Amazon announced an incentive for people to use debit cards instead of credit cards for their purchases. Instagram announces a new Archive feature and we also chat about how social media is used differently from one generation to the next. We discuss the failed Sense and a few other failed Kickstarters that Peter has backed. Michael shares his “travel hack” but in reality it’s just an embarrassing American Flag colored backpack. We compared what our current dream products are. Michael would like a WD Wireless Passport Pro with an SSD inside. Peter hopes someone makes an app that will show your day on a map so you can track your vacation. We also chat about using the DJI Osmo in public and how it feels uncomfortable, we also discuss other products from DJI like the Spark and Mavic Pro.

This week we discuss WWDC and all of Apple’s latest hardware and software. We chat about the latest iPads, iMacs, and the brand new HomePod. We also go over some of the smaller features that are headed to iOS that were hidden in the fine print along with bigger features such as multi-tasking on the iPad. Peter also filled Michael in on the first episode of Planet of the Apps and overall was confused with who the intended audience of the show would be.
