Lloyd Moritz has great insight into the direction major tech companies are heading when it comes to what we think of as artificial intelligence. AI, Machine Learning, Bots, and Virtual Assistants. These are all somewhat different, but still employ some of the same tech and will end up achieving the same general goal: To think for us.

Admittedly, we often take a more positive view of Microsoft than perhaps the average consumer may. This episode is an exception. David has had about enough of Microsoft lately, so we asked Adam Doud to join us so that we can properly criticize the company, and especially, Windows 10 Mobile.

True to form, Adam has to remind us how webOS has paved the way for everything that is good about the current reigning mobile platforms. Also, the Cubs game was a good distraction during the show. Overall, it was an incredible episode.

Be sure to check out Adam's work at Pocketnow, and his podcast, TekBeard.

7:57 Ken Bone. The human version of a hug.

12:25 David shares his recent shift in opinion.

18:36 Be public with your praise and private with your criticism. Unless you review things for a living.

28:07 David talks about Zune. Why? Well, what kind of show would it be if Zune wasn't mentioned? 

31:43 Which part(s) of "Microsoft Mobile" are  "dead"? Windows 10 itself is still pretty awesome.

35:01 Is UWP the answer? To anything?

38:21 We hear about Adam's recent blog post about "Microsoft Killing the Lumia".

48:13 Maybe Windows is just meant to be on desktop, and not on phone.

52:45 Who should buy the Acer Liquid Jade Primo?

1:06:52 Is Continuum worth adopting now?

1:07:28 Tip of the Episode.

Too often, technology enthusiasts do not fully understand the financial choices made by the companies they value. Recently, Vernon tried to explain the news of Microsoft buying back stock from shareholders, and failed pitifully at it. Listener of the show Blake Latson offered to help explain what some of the financial announcements really meant, and Vernon gladly accepted!

Blake shares with us the Microsoft products and services he uses in his daily life, both professionally and personally. He explains Microsoft's stock buy back program, some of the basics of stock investing, and some great insight into the US corporate tax code.
