Rocket

It's a Surface-tastic week. Microsoft's latest event, plus finally Brianna and Christina's reviews of the Surface Go. Then Simone reviews Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and there's a very important update on MOVIEPASSOCALYPSE.

Brianna breaks a promise to America and buys an iPhone. Then, Wal-Mart's enforcement of the lettuce blockchain. Is it good — or silly? Marvel's Spider-Man is out and Bri's twenty hours in. Finally, the finale of Fyre Festival.

It's new Apple hardware week, and reviews are out! iOS 12 is here as well, and Playstation has cooked up something new.

Brianna returns just in time for Apple's lackluster September event. That said, your hosts still spend close to an hour talking about the new iPhones, and the Apple Watch. Then Brianna talks about the lessons she learned from running her first campaign for Congress. Later, Simone previews the first 7 hours of Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Jack Dorsey and Sheryl Sandberg take on Congress in this week's hearings, but to what end? Next, Apple's biggest leak yet reveals the form factor of two of its new phones. Finally, an update on Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, a story we've followed since day one — and it's not quite over yet.

Three new iPhones are on the way to Apple's September event, and Apple is sending out more feelings into the AR world. We discuss new tech, Trump's fight with the very algorithms that brought him the presidency, and Logan Paul's fight with KSI on this week's Rocket! Plus: an update on Elon Musk's romantic life.

Nvidia has new GPUs! Rumors of the Mac mini are happening! Azealia Banks is still doing things! This is a lot of exclamation marks!

Galaxy Note 9 reviews are in! Longer battery life, and a thousand-dollar price tag. Next, big spender Christina Warren made two purchases this week: the Nokia 81140 4G, and the Microsoft Surface Go! Finally, the most Rocket-worthy topic of all time: Azealia Banks' Instagram Story expose on Elon Musk and Grimes.

In this super-sized episode, Bri and Christina talk about all the tech news they can -- and still didn’t cover everything that happened this week. First up, Magic Leap reviews are out, was it worth the hype? Then the Sarah Jeong harassment controversy is discussed (and Christina’s inadvertent involvement). In happier news, MoviePass has changed business models. Again. (Christina got her merch!) A...

Heyo, it's time to talk about legislating 3D printed guns. Is it worth it? Then Facebook re-enters the spotlight with the news that it has deactivated a whopping 32 political pot-stirring accounts. MoviePass is on its last legs — when will it fall, and how much merch will Christina Warren get out of it? You have all the answers here.

This time we're ready for MacBook Pro news: we discuss Apple's massive thermal throttling but and how we got here. Then, Christina takes a break so that Bri and Simone can bandy about rumors on Microsoft's new game-streaming console. Close the show out with a discussion of James Gunn's firing from Disney after a right-wing campaign.

In Rocket tradition, new MacBook Pro news dropped as soon as we were done recording last week! But this week we dig into the new specs. Then join us on a journey through scams — Christina is still on the MoviePass ride, but when will it end? And a video game Kickstarter was deemed not responsible for refunding over $4,000 from a customer, even after it failed to deliver the goods for years. Finall...

The App Store is 10 years old! What's the most embarrassing app you've ever downloaded? Also in the news, Magic Leap's first demo, and the company's partnership with AT&T. But ... why? We also discuss Microsoft's new Surface Go and why the Nintendo Switch is the best console ever.

ALL the rumors about the new iPhones, analyzed, debunked, and more. Plus, Samsung is (potentially) at it again with a glitch that will send your nudes to random contacts. Then Christina, Brianna, and Simone discuss TanaCon, enthusiastically and at length.

You want the Apple News? You can’t handle the Apple News. Christina deep dives dark mode, Simone is excited for Apple’s keyboard replacement program, and Brianna has concerns about ethics in doxing.

Simone swears vengeance on the hooligans that have stolen Stephen Hackett's minivan. Brianna notices that a porny statue bears an uncomfortable resemblance to a Rocket host and Christina believes in a bulletproof dinosaur future. Give us five stars.

With Simone saving America from Cobra Commander in the jungles of E3, Bri and Christina do their best to make it weird. Bri buys a Mac. Christina doesn't want you to mine bitcoins on iOS and Apple Brings it On with Facebook. Plus, unprofessional thoughts about the Canadian Prime Minister.

Microsoft bought GitHub! Christina and Simone discuss the backlash from the community. Updates from WWDC are here! iOS 12 is coming to all phones with iOS 11, and Mac OS is getting a dark mode! We briefly talk about Sonos Beam soundbar reviews, and then it's on to a discussion of Anna Delvey's tell: her hair.

Discussing our WWDC predictions, a recap of Code Conference, and The Cut's incredible examination of the scams of Anna Delvey.

Malware in CPUs and consumer routers make everyone nervous this week. Also, a frank discussion about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos — and why she should be prosecuted.

Google Duplex: is it as creepy as it sounds? We discuss Google I/O, the Net Neutrality fight's resurgence, and the dead of YouTube Red. Finally: nostalgia phone cases!

Rocket, recorded live at Microsoft Build 2018. Christina and Bri banter, offer some opinions on the Build 2018 keynote -- and comment on some late-breaking Taylor Swift/Katt Perry drama -- before interviewing Microsoft’s Ed Thomson and Lori Lamkin. Ed is a Program Manager for VSTS, focusing on Git. Lori is the Director of Program Management for VSTS, and leads up the One Engineering Services (1ES)...

Facebook's F8 keynote leaves us full of dread and begrudging acknowledgement. We finally hear Bri and Christina's Nintendo Labo review, and talk about The Avengers: Infinity War

Christina, Brianna, and Simone talk about sick Nintendo haxx, the MacBook Pro keyboard, and good ol' Yahoo.

Brianna and Simone duo it out, talking about the NINTENDO LABO, Tesla production nightmare, the permissions we thoughtlessly grant to apps, and how the heck to pronounce Han Solo's name.
