Have you seen Echo, Amazon’s always-listening, occasionally snarky, voice-powered purchasing, media playback, and informational assistance device for the home and office? It’s amazing. Mat and Mike talk about this new thing from the company, which joins a long list of left-field WTF-worthy hardware releases from the retailing giant. Also, the hosts discuss the latest Nexus devices, for which the reviews have started to roll in. Mat thinks Android Lollipop is the best mobile OS we’ve got out there. And Mike thinks you’d be crazy to buy a tablet with anything more than the minimum storage. Listen to both of them and get angry. The show ends, as always, with some cultural criticism.
