Fr. Robert Ballecer joins Jason Howell to discuss how Mozilla might walk away with more than $1 billion dollars depending on who acquires Yahoo. Also, Apple is unleashing its betas of MacOS Sierra and iOS 10 today, and you should be cautiously optimistic. Silent Circle made a bet on security with its Blackphone line of Android devices, but that appears to be falling apart. Finally, Facebook Live and other live streaming services are increasingly used to broadcast injustice to the world, yet that's a tricky scenario for their bottom line.
