Apple announces the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, Microsoft announces the Surface Studio and Windows 10 Creators Update, Twitter kills Vine and lays off almost 10% of its workforce, Google Home arriving next week, DirecTV Now gives 100 channels for $35, and Uber delivers 50,000 Budweisers with their Otto self-driving semi.

  • Leo wants to know - have Apple and Microsoft swapped brains?
  • Are we heading toward a world where you don't know which virtual assistant to ask what?
  • What is scarier: a self-driving beer truck or artificial intelligence that can talk to each other using unbreakable encryption
