Venyu: Home Automation, Microsoft Announcement, 2015 Predictions

Windows Developer Announcement, Game Developer Magazine Closes, iOS 7 Beta 3

Microsoft will be announcing something, we hope, really brings about substantial shockwaves through the tech community. Will they announce a Barnes & Noble plus Windows 7 tablet? Will it be a new Xbox-branded tablet from the software giant? Or will they announce acquisition of their partner Nokia finally? Only speculation at this point but at 6:30PM EST the announcement will take place in Southern California in front of a lucky set of media. Craig and Sean discuss all the options showing up on the rumor mill and add a few of their own thoughts on what could be the big announcement. As always, focusing on the disruptive nature of technology trends at large in our current world.
