Fredrik har varit på konferens och myst, vilket leder in på presentationer och att hålla dem. Jocke busspendlar igen, det är en svår omställning men ett fantastiskt tillfälle att uppdatera sina appar? Vi pratar om den nya intervjun eller diskussionen med Scott Forstall som dykt upp, Apples hantering av läckor, roliga gamla spel och varför Jocke köpt och returnerat en Apple watch. Sist men absolut inte minst diskuterar vi bloggar och skribenter vi följt men inte längre följer. Allra sist: en fråga och ett ämne för nästa vecka: Var får ni era nyheter från?

Kristi himmelfärds är inte en vilodag. Den kan innehålla hisnande händelser såsom sopor, poolbyggen, Rocky-lika löprundor (eller ej), filmtips och somrigt skinande sol. Sedan blir det allvar. Allvar på David Lynch-vis, i form av säsong tre av Twin Peaks. Spoilerhornet ljuder 8:37 in i avsnittet och gäller såväl de fyra första avsnitten i säsong tre som allt som händer i säsong ett och två. Faran är över vid 27:00. Sedan diskuterar vi att molnet blivit en del av det allmänna medvetandet och kommer, naturligtvis, in på kapplöpningshästar. Efter det går vi igenom Macstories önskelista för IOS 11, jobb med Ipad och utförliga recensioner. Trasiga tänder och SCB får visst utrymme, somliga saker behöver ventileras just för att de inte är roliga. För att muntra upp oss pratar vi sedan förhoppningar inför WWDC, förvånansvärt dyra timglas och rykten kring både Jonathan Ive och Marco arment. Vi avslutar med att prata städning av e-postlådor och några bilder av ett sidospår i Macpros historia.

Vi använder Bluetooth över extremt korta avstånd, bekymrar oss (nåja) över Samsungs problem och fascineras sedan av QR-koder på Svalbard. Sedan pratar vi USB-C-kablar och Jocke blir mållös. Lite om insidan av Slack och en del andra populära applikationer, och att lära sig programmering. Vi diskuterar den intressanta historien om Zano, en liten drönare som drog in stora pengar på Kickstarter och kollapsade under mer eller mindre sorgliga former. Fredrik får associationer till en och annan känd spelskapare.
