And by us, we mean the press. We also talk about Pokemon Go (again) and the racist Twitter attack on "Ghostbusters" star Leslie Jones.

Pokémon Go had a week unlike any video game I’ve covered before in my career. Here’s a collection of the posts we penned last week, ranging from players finding dead bodies to Craigslist entrepreneurs selling preplayed accounts. My friend and former boss Chris Grant wrote about the staggering demand for coverage at our sister-site Polygon. In "Some thoughts on Nintendo’s big week," Grant contextualized the game within Nintendo’s unusual year. And he noted how Pokémon Go inspired the most popular posts not simply on the video game outlet, but across Vox Media, from The Verge to Racked to Vox. But why? And how? And when will this moment pass, or has it already? I invited our games editor and Pokémon expert Andrew Webster on the show to provide background on the phenomenon, and speculate what its future might look like.

Apple released a series of new items in 2000, including a new "button less" mouse, iMovie2 and the iMac DV series with the PowerPC G3 processor. But they also introduced the PowerMac G4 Cube - a 450 or 500 MHz computer with Velocity Engine - A Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) which operates concurrently with existing integer and floating-point. Add with it 2 Firewire ports, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, Modem and 20 GB hard drive and you had a serious system at the time. The cube could not take cards because of it's case sizes and the DVD drive was located on the top of the device. It was designed with a case that made it possible to eliminate the fan.
