Tech Podcasts

We're on location this week at Postback, the big mobile marketing conference presented by Seattle based mobile marketing technology company Tune. Our guests are James Peng, the head of mobile acquisition at Match Group; and Micah Gantman, VP of Strategy and Business Development at TUNE.

On today's show, we'll talk about the murder of Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch by her brother, along with similar cases happening in the country. Plus, we'll play this week's Silicon Tally with Erika Bergman, the co-founder of Global Engineering and Exploration Counselors. 

We deep dive into robot cowboys, interactive LED art and golf cart jetpacks. Also, we welcome Barco Escape Chief Creative Officer Ted Schilowitz to the show to discuss new moviegoing experiences and what he does as 20th Century Fox's resident futurist.

Hosts: Megan Morrone, Owen JJ Stone Guest: Steven Petrow All is revealed with Elon Musk's Master Plan and it goes something like this: Tesla Solar is not really new, but newly important...or so Musk would have us believe. The idea is essentially an app store, but instead of apps it's sun power that Tesla wants to control. Musk also revealed the Tesla Semi - a ginormous solar commercial vehicle to be revealed next year. And the cake topper: the future ability to share your Tesla with a push of a button so you can make money from your super expensive car when you're not using it. Also, if you're going to successfully run one of the most popular places for people to find unofficial copies of movies and TV shows, you might think twice before you open a Facebook account for your business. Leslie Jones is back on Twitter, and we decided this means good is winning. Owen talks about the Hover Cam, the Bagel, Mirror's Edge, and Uncharted. Plus, one of Facebook's Internet drones has taken its first flight. Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/tech-news-today. Thanks to Cachefly for the bandwidth for this show.

Say hello to Tinder Social, a new feature that makes it easier for groups to get together.

John Scopes was an activist and a teacher. In what was called the "Scopes Monkey Trial", John was charged on May 5th, 1925 of teaching evolution in his Tennessee classroom. On July 21 he was found guilty and fined $100. The central argument in the case was the Butler Act, prohibiting that human evolution, or any Biblical account of origin could be taught.Scopes verdict was overturned, but only because of a technicality. The Judge fined Scopes and not a jury. The Butler Act was repealed in 1967.

On today's podcast, we also talk about group dating on Tinder and Apple lining its pockets with Pokemon Go cash.

It has been eight years since the App Store opened, and Walt and Nilay are here to discuss the use of smartphone apps today. Walt deleted tons of apps, and it seems to have turned out for the best. With smartphone users downloading an average of zero apps a month, has the glamour of using apps faded away? And if so, what is the next step for smartphone software? Also, Nilay reads a review from Walt about the time the Apple App Store first opened. We love your feedback on the topics of the show and suggestions on how to make our show better and more fun — you can tweet at Walt at @waltmossberg and Nilay at @reckless. And of course, we'd love it if you subscribed in iTunes (here's the direct RSS feed, if you like), along with The Verge's other great podcasts like Verge ESP, What's Tech, and The Vergecast.
