We have returned from our hiatus to bring you the Best & Worst of 2016 Tech, our Top 2016 Games, and a bit of CES Speculation. So sit back with your bowl of celery sticks and carrots (you're still committed to that resolution, aren't you?!?) and let's take a journey together into the recent past and the mysterious future. Hope you and yours had stellar holidays! Thanks for listening. #BitBitByte Follow Michael: Website: BitBitByte.com Twitter: @bitbitbyte Facebook: BitBitBytes Follow Nathan:...

The Macbook Pro is upon us and Michael has his paws on one! We discuss some initial impressions with the specs, keyboard, Touch ID, Touch Bar, other touchy things, as well as if it's suitable for a power user. We also speak more on Twitter anti-bullying news, EA instates disclosure rules for YouTubers and Streamers in Germany, a USB dongle called PoisonTap that will ruin your life, Office Depot misleads people to sell more services, and Britain passes the most extreme surveillance law in a...

We also take a look at Wand Wars and Clustertruck (review keys were provided) for Playstation 4 and Nathan goes a little more in depth on his interview with Battlefield 1 Design Director, Lars Gustavsson. That and much, much more on this episode of B3! Listen you...

More Samsung Note 7 woes are discussed, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones have arrived, Yahoo cozies up with the F.B.I., Michael tries to lure Nathan onto an Apple device yet again, and we review "Virginia," the mystery thriller adventure game by Variable State. If you still have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, don't have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. You could hurt your face. #BitBitByte Follow Michael: Website: BitBitByte.com Twitter: @bitbitbyte Facebook: BitBitBytes Follow Nathan: Website:...

All things Gears of War 4 are discussed and reviewed. We did our best to keep it spoiler free.

Also, we talk about iOS 10's poor encryption, Samsung "fixes" 1 million Note 7's (unlike their exploding washing machines), record labels are suing again, drilling holes in your iPhone 7, and the phenomenal YouTube growth of Zoie Burgher, the scantily clad and controversial Twitch streamer. #BitBitByte Follow Michael: Website: BitBitByte.com Twitter: @bitbitbyte...

Today Mike and guest co-host Chad Coleman discuss the new precious from Apple as well as the various "-gates" that have popped up already. Naturally, iOS 10 and Mike's affinity for all things dark mode comes to light (no pun intended). We also entertain a joyful banter about the headphone jack's death, Chad's sparring with the Verge's Nilay Patel, and macOS Sierra with a healthy bit of Twitter app debate appearing to wrap things up. It was a jam packed show and a marathon one at that. Sit...

We dissect the Playstation 4 Pro Conference and what that means for consumers who are looking to take the leap into 4K. There's also some talk about Apple's iPhone 7 conference. However, most importantly, we discover that Chipotle now possesses the technology for drone burrito deliveries. You read that right...look to the heavens for Odin's wondrous bounty. #BitBitByte Follow Michael: Website: BitBitByte.com Twitter: @BitBitByte Facebook: BitBitBytes Follow Nathan: Website:...

Social Media...a tool for sharing information and limitless interactivity coupled with a bit of questionable human behavior. This week we cover YouTube's censorship of vloggers, more Twitter oversights, fake news stories on Facebook, a $30 Million Instagram cocaine bust, the Grumpy Cat Lawsuit, Samsung smart watches, and much, much more. #BitBitByte Follow Michael: Website: BitBitByte.com Twitter: @BitBitByte Facebook: BitBitBytes Follow Nathan: Website: ThisAndThatTech.com Twitter:...

Today Mike and the Ghost of Nathan, encased in a taxidermy'd dear head (read: god rest his well hair'd soul) conquer the Apple Event. There were laughs, cries, and cries of resentment throughout the event as we traveled down the roller coaster of emotions. But for real: Apple Watch 2 and the iPhone 7 were the stars of the show. Carry on!

We discuss lessons learned over the past 9 episodes and let you know where we see the podcast going in the future. Not only that, there is also subjective intellectual conversations surrounding Nintendo [shockingly...] refusing to engage with fans who desperately want to engage with them, Sony mistakenly takes down No Man's Sky journalism videos, Titanfall 2's single player campaign, Netflix sticking their toes into the VR waters with Stranger Things, VR guns with haptic feedback, the death...

Hey, you came back. Why? This week we cover the brand new Xbox One S, Galaxy Note 7, Instagram releasing their own form of Snapchat Stories, Niantic's new Pokemon Go update, YouTube's audiobook piracy problem, Sonic swears on the Wii U, and you could easily acquire the Bubonic plague at the Olympics in Rio. If you're watching the games from the safety of your home, I'd still suggest at least using a cleaning wipe of some kind, just to be safe... Listen to this podcast and perhaps all the...

Look, I'm here, you're here, we're all here. Let's be BFF's and talk about rapper street cred in 2016 on social media, Nintendo's new console and financials with endless optimism, PoGo news (Michael calls it that because he's in the know), the Olympics committee and their archaic ideas, the large amount of people screaming and staring at us through the sound booth window, Snapchat third party apps have your tasteful nudes, and probably something else.

Yes, they are still being made. We had no idea either. It's a thing....

Michael discusses Pokemon Go adventures while Nathan ponders an intervention for him, Nintendo is coming out with a new retro console in November (with lower hardware specs that are on purpose this time), McDonald's no longer offers free porn while you eat your Big Mac, the new dating app Ohlala allows women to charge for a date, and uploading your consciousness to a PC. That, and much, much, more if you decide to listen. You're either with us or you're against us. Drink that Kool-Aid....

Verizon insults us with their new wireless plans, YouTubers "forget" to disclose that they own a CS:GO gaming gambling site...that they gamble on, Nvidia drops a cheap GPU for VR, why you shouldn't buy a hoverboard, PBS fakes fireworks, and we go deep into...no, hands on...no...well, more like minds on Japan's Adult VR Festival, where one can feel the joys and pleasure of interacting with headless, limbless sex robots and touching a woman's breast using only air. Yes, you read that...

Michael & Nathan discuss recent hackings on the interwebz of Boogie2988 and Linus Tech Tips, what Google knows about you, Playstation's ban on people who use their actual names, Oculus changing their minds, transferring PC data using magical fans, VR at the Olympics, a robot lawyer beating parking tickets, and much, much more.
