Tech News Today 1479

Tonight we're joined by cartoonist and podcaster Scott Johnson from My Extra Life and Frogpants Studios. First, we talk about the court documents put forward by the FBI that say they no longer need Apple's help in unlocking the work iphone of the shooter in San Bernardino. We also discuss Pandora's future, Instagram algorithms, and Facebook's power and responsibility when it comes to our daily lives. Next, we speak to Peter Rubin from Wired about Oculus Rift. Plus, we throw in a little discussion of cyber guns and the FCC, Louis CK, tech news, heroin, and lots and lots of metaphors.
