Please pause for a collective headdesking.It’s a long one this week. We discuss the dominance of YouTube, the dick moves it does as a result, and ponder its potential fall. Recent events and statements in Britain lead us into an in-depth discussion about encryption and what we do and don’t allow with private communication (needless to say, the ol’ third rail of politics will rear its ugly head once more).

Simon returns to the show to offer his take on the Apple keynote. And with that, what could have been a shallow, ten minute jog-through of snark develops instead into a deep conversation on the problems in TV Apple can’t fix, what the iPhone SE means for first-time buyers, and if the new iPad Pro really is a light in the dark for trapped Windows users. Mark and Richard take the opportunity to quiz Simon on the practicalities of replacing his parents’ 5 year-old laptop, and ridicule him for his 25 year-old laptop.

Richard and Simon waver from the podcast’s regular fruit diet this week, and look at where industry mainstay Microsoft is at these days. Where do they see Windows heading in the future? Can they jump the platform migration hurdle that Apple were lumped with 15 years prior? Do they still have a chance to break out of the traditional desktop form factor?

Done with Apple, the gang spend the rest of the show discussing George Hotz, who is trying (and succeeding to some degree) to build a self-driving car to rival those of Tesla and Google.

It’s been over five years since the iPad emerged as the next big thing for general purpose computing, and now Apple have released the iPad Pro to add to their growing iPad lineup. But what is it for? And not just that, what is the iPad Air for? And while we’re at it, the iPad Mini as well!
