Stop Mass Hacking
Iain Thomson from the Register is here for a round-up and a rant about Google I/O, the developer conference in Mountain View. We talk Project Ara, Project Soli hand gestures, end-to-end encryption in Allo, and a new app that collects all your data, but in a cute way. We'll also discuss a new proposal by Rand Paul and Ron Wyden to stop mass hacking. Then, Sam Machkovech joins us to chat about Minecraft in China, Nintendo opening a restaurant, and Microsoft giving away Gamertags. Finally, we chat with Zach Grether from SlowCountryLife.com about the spectacular photos he took of the SpaceX Falcon 9 landing.
