Producer Missy joins in the discussion as Sorg and Chilla talk this week in tech news, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/07/02/whats-new-in-ios-13-beta-3/"&gt;Facetime autocorrection&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Google Maps had an &lt;a href="http://www.foxla.com/news/google-maps-leads-dozens-of-drivers-into-muddy-open-field-stranding-them?fbclid=IwAR0L4L-GatMDVJtQ8e3CSy1sXzPgUZYah3WNgCJVt4MpxUmV3deZd3wRdWE"&gt;alternative solution to traffic back-ups&lt;/a&gt;, which took some travelers off-roading?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg is resurrecting his &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/25/18716146/harry-potter-wizards-unite-pokemon-go-review-ar-augmented-reality-game-foundable"&gt;PokemonGO play&lt;/a&gt; in response to the new Harry Potter game.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're pretty excited that &lt;a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/life/lifestyle/2019/06/28/Annual-furry-convention-Pittsburgh-July-4-2019-Anthrocon-parade-restaurants/stories/201906280103"&gt;furries return to the 'Burgh&lt;/a&gt; this weekend. It's like Pittsburgh's very own PokemonGO opportunity IRL.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Dear Google - We need you to do a street view of the furry parade for Anthrocon 2019.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/bernie-sanders-launches-twitch-channel/"&gt;Bernie Sanders is on Twitch&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing some &lt;a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/304060/how-to-switch-or-launch-apps-from-the-macbook-pro-touch-bar/"&gt;MacOS dock options for the touchbar&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/PrfBzzkll"&gt;Professor Buzzkill&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.alexanderkahrs.com/"&gt;Alex Kahrs Design &amp;amp; Media!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;
 
Chilla, Sorg, and Krause are bringing you this week's tech news as we ramp up for the upcoming Apple announcement.  We're sharing:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;It's a big Google news day, so we'll be talking about that tech news shortly!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Google is making a &lt;a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/19/google-stadia-announced/"&gt;foray into video games&lt;/a&gt; with Stadia. Krause is sharing the service as part of his Awesome Thing of the Week!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're talking about the implications of a video game system via Google Stadia and Chromecast.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Before we get too excited about Stadia, will it go the way of Inbox or Google+ or Google Reader?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing a Microsoft &lt;a href="https://venturebeat.com/2019/03/19/microsoft-teams-is-now-used-by-500000-organizations/"&gt;update for Microsoft Teams&lt;/a&gt; - with 8 new features.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're a little excited about the updates for Microsoft Teams.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Are you a Google One subscriber? &lt;a href="https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/google-one-free-mini-deal/"&gt;Did YOU get a free Google Home Mini&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg is featuring his new Google Home Mini as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;There are some phishy emails and phone calls going around lately.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;There's a &lt;a href="https://www.apple.com/ipad-air/?fbclid=IwAR0AVv3_TRjuYyLS0sqgZC0iLKXpF3IQNpUgW4OL8NAsIA3RV3-vxCwqiJ4"&gt;new iPad Air&lt;/a&gt;. Chilla is giving us some updates to look forward to.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Google Maps adds new styles and &lt;a href="https://venturebeat.com/2019/03/15/google-maps-platform-adds-new-styles-and-gameplay-options-for-mobile-games/?fbclid=IwAR1Qi0HBkRkh63ONuhrnMgMDAux630Xoly33xCfSTOaqyBMs-qWE4yqebNc"&gt;gameplay options&lt;/a&gt; for mobile games.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Playing games can &lt;a href="https://www.edsurge.com/news/2019-02-12-playing-games-can-build-21st-century-skills-research-explains-how?utm_content=bufferc1691&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=EdSurgeBuffer&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0bqsSMlKBQOWdEKIkiv-_haqGQ_PO9o8D-vcN-BZ7dKtl8O8PzPm_ARlQ"&gt;build 21st century skills&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Retailers, like Disney, are engaging customers with &lt;a href="https://www.psfk.com/2019/03/disney-gamified-storytelling.html?fbclid=IwAR0r5mNvWPAa-ohbW20JBgrCCyCg4mhTP0RKR48luTraBISpbS9GOFLhhGo"&gt;gamified storytelling&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Netflix is working on a follow-up to Bandersnatch with a &lt;a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/18/18271172/you-vs-wild-netflix-interactive-bear-grylls?fbclid=IwAR3sGmkCH0PMCdl0FnD_d4IeKPgaoTK4gIuqnZqq2ix9Yuna7Uh79aYdlUc"&gt;Bear Grylls survival show&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;EA paid Ninja to &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/13/ea-paid-ninja-1-million-to-stream-apex-legends/?fbclid=IwAR2hQIzetv-UN24fnPqU2gaKPpkW11-PlMkRLvkBSWImH48lLdT61FMqnFI"&gt;stream Apex Legends&lt;/a&gt;. We're sharing some thoughts.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're deep diving some of the doors Stadia can open with online gaming and cooperative gaming.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Remember Dreamcast? &lt;a href="https://kotaku.com/whats-on-my-old-dreamcast-memory-card-in-2019-1833329054?utm_medium=Socialflow&amp;amp;utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR2fgcIzyARfXbagbtcft3AYyXp2iMnt3-hl5cYcIAm-Ou7Rz9QOtpcTzH4"&gt;Do you remember what's on your old memory card&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Krause is &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/11/att-directv-now-streaming-tv-price-increase/"&gt;leaving DirecTV NOW&lt;/a&gt; - but he's looking at some great streaming video options!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Speaking of streaming video, Sorg is catching up with some Halt and Catch Fire.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/19/angry-birds-ar-is-coming-to-iphone-this-spring/"&gt;Angry Birds AR&lt;/a&gt; is coming to iPhone.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Halo is getting a &lt;a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/12/18261738/halo-master-chief-collection-pc-windows-steam?fbclid=IwAR1kEkGJgkbkw7Q1uzz-fjS1Ore69-LtNePR0mxro7nx75XAJxz_WBoFopE"&gt;Master Chief collection&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;What happens when you combine &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/13/18263754/google-earth-carmen-sandiego-where-in-the-world"&gt;Carmen Sandiego and Google Earth&lt;/a&gt;? We can't wait to find out!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Twitter is &lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/twitters-new-prototype-app-twttr-launches-today/amp/?fbclid=IwAR0UNlTj83CJ5Kg5isNMIeDfD2FrHnXGJbYPdYYk325SJQckb6roE0YYOFk"&gt;going back to 2009&lt;/a&gt; with twttr.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Krause is helping his wife transition to life without a button with a new iPhone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
