Today we have Kelly Guimont joining us from #hirekelly to talk about the Microsoft announcement. Our main goal was to talk about what the Surface Pro 3 is and what it isn’t. We decide to include how Microsoft is doing since Satya Nadella took power a few short months ago

We have two topics for everyone tonight. First we have some updates with Square Cash and paying money through the internet. We still agree Square is the best, and now they added a CVV 2-FA for those still nervous. Second we talk about verifying yourself. Both sides of yes, you should, and no you shouldn't are discussed when Tom and I finally got our keybase invites. Show Notes: Square Cash Keybase.io

Everyone was busy, so Chaim had to find a substitute. I called on my Security:inThirty cohost, Tom, to come on and help me do the show. Today we discuss the iMessage problems that are plaguing iphone to Android converts. Show Notes: Adam Pash | iMessage Purgatory

We talk today about how security is sometimes no more than just smoke and mirrors.  We discuss when does security really help, or when time you are just taking advantage of someone's time for no added benefit.

We decided that foursquare's splitting into two, so we felt the need to bring up our SXSW nostalgia, and talk about what that means now to the app.  We also talk about ratings and what they mean.  Paul takes us through his process of describing how ratings bother him, and how he wished he could filter ratings. [Editor's Note: This is the second attempt. The first one had a weird February date instead of the current.]

We really have two parts to this show. First, Tom is all sorts of mad, so we listen to his issues. Turns out RSA has password limitations. Crackstation.net has a good writeup on why this is wrong. Next we get to the topic at hand, being Virtual Private Networks. We don't go too in dept, but we touch upon the need, what to look for, and Chaim's attempt to build one from scratch.

Did you ever look at your Google Account Dashboard? If you haven't, you should. It gives you a wealth of knowledge of what you have done in the last month. The scary thing is, all the stuff, is in the hands of Google. We discuss whether this is a good thing or bad thing. We finish up of how to do a app audit on your own, and how to cancel apps that you don't use. Show Notes: Google Account Dashboard

Three weeks ago, Chaim complained that the Amazon Fire didn't contain the HBO Go app. Justin chimed in that it is inevitable that it will have it. Turns out, Justin was right. HBO and Amazon signed a deal to show all their back catalogue on Amazon Prime. Show Notes: NYTimes | Amazon to Stream Original HBO Content

Chaim had to interrupt his Passover Sedar to sign up for Google I/O. Why would he do that when he could just have waited until later that night? Well in a weird series of events, Chaim was trying to beat the algorithm and get ahead of others on the I/O lottery. This topic came from a recent episode of ATP.fm where Marco, John, and Casey explain the best ways for doing this. There show is two hours, ours is thirty minutes. While they are all smarter than us, we break it down in a "more fun way." Show Notes: ATP.FM
