As we near the end of 2017 we take the opportunity to fill the couch – both IRL and online – with some familiar faces. It’s a full house indeed with Jim Lokay, Will Rutherford, Mike Pound, Cynthia Closkey, John Carman, Bobby Cherry, Brian Crawford, and Krause. But, we’ve still got our usual faces with Sorg and Chilla, and a very special visit from our Patreon supporter, Michael Fedor. We’re starting the top of the show with everyone’s Awesome Thing of the Year items. Chilla’s Awesome Thing of the Year is his Apple AirPods. Brian’s Awesome Thing of the Year is NOT the tech items he recently purchased – but the sweet bag he got to carry it all! Krause’s Awesome Thing of the Year is his Google Pixel 2XL. Will’s Awesome Thing of the Year is a “really interesting idea.” He’s interested in TXT.FYI – a stripped down blog. Lokay’s Awesome Thing of the Year is HQ – the quiz app. Cynthia’s AirPods are her Awesome Thing for Life. As her Awesome Thing of the Year, she’s going with 17776. Mike Pound’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Amazon Echo. Patreoner Michael Fedor’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Patreon’s redo of their fee structure. Bobby is sharing his Awesome Thing of the Year – his Google Home. John Carman’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Google’s Pixel Buds. Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Year is the realization of handheld internet through his AT&T Wireless plan. We’re running through our 2017 predictions from last year – and whether or not they actually came true. And, then we turn to predictions for 2018!(With a shout out to Rob Johnston and the Vine 2 launch!) Lokay: Vine2 is going to be a failure. Will Rutherford: Net neutrality is going to get pushed through and it’s going to be a kerfluffle. ISPs are going to do what ISPs do, but customers are going to drop like flies. They’re going to lose so much business that they’re going to roll things back and it will all be for naught. Mike Pound: Digital side of journalism is going to continue to build in 2018. Cynthia Closkey: Continued escalation of Google/Apple/Amazon streaming war. Apple TV available for sale on Amazon again. Michael Fedor: Disney will have one major purchase in the next year. (Jokingly introduced with: Living under the United States of Disney. Disney will pay down national debt and come in on some sort of crisis.) John Carman: We’re going to see the first Amazon Key burglary. Bobby Cherry: Elon Musk is going to have some breakthrough next year – through one of his companies. Chilla: We’re going to see another huge dropoff on PC technology. Brian Crawford: We’re going to start turning into cyborgs with our wearable tech and implant devices. We’re also going to see regulations regarding drones. Krause: AR is going to be a much bigger deal than even VR is now. Sorg: Podcasting is going to be de-emphasized in 2018.

Sorg is blaming Katie for his addiction to his Awesome Thing of the Week – Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Y’know what, if you don’t want to wait 7 hours for pizza, head over to Slice and get some perfect pepperoni pizza. Although net neutrality issues aren’t cool, Pitchwerks put the perfect explanation together with some help from Spare Change. Shout out to Brian Crawford for picking up an iPad Pro. Speaking of – we’re talking about his question about whether or not we need a traditional laptop anymore. Watching TV while playing video games? Doug is talking about how things are changing.

Chilla has been thinking long and hard about the new MacBook and all its dongles. Chilla's MacBook Pro is so new it doesn't even have stickers on it yet! Tune in to hear his thoughts. We're discovering the new MacBook Pro touchpad. It's not a real button, but it feels like a button, but it's not a button. (Re)learning how to reset the Mac scroll bar so it doesn't always hide. Chilla's happy to have access to El Capitan. So happy, he may queue this one up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Buwjgi1xV7U. We are (re)discovering Sorg's mini Gorilla Pod while he tries to figure out his Awesome Thing Of The Week. So, there's a Dutch design firm that's trying to use a 3D printer to print a steel bridge. Sorgatron's Awesome Thing Of The Week deals with a client project involving drone footage. We're talking Snap Chat and squared video. People want to get on Snap Chat. What do YOU (our listeners) get out of the app? The who's who of Snap Chat: Taco Bell tops Sorg's list. Seriously. Discussing Linked In usage and connections. Sorg thinks Google+ is the best spot for groups in comparison to LinkedIn and Facebook. Talking the revolution of "how-tos": gone from pdf or word documents with text and pics to videos and blog posts. Chilla's App Of The Week is LICEcap to assist with project management. If you lose your job and THEN turn to LinkedIn - you're too late. Use LinkedIn to foster relationships AHEAD of time. Seriously discussing Zip Drives on this week's episode. Do you have a current version of Windows? You can upgrade to Windows10. You can also get a technical copy to upgrade from. Samsung now has an app that lets you record game play to do reviews and let's play videos. After the show remember to: Eat at Slice on Broadway if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome!

We'll be talking a lot about Apple on today's show with Chilla and AJ - and they're IN STUDIO enjoying some Slice on Broadway pizza! Checking out OS X El Capitan. We're watching AJ teaching Sorg the magic of "apple + spacebar" command. It's magical. Did you know Google Photos is searchable by date? Is touchscreen on the horizon for Apple computers? Currently there is a third party option, but Chilla thinks it's coming from IOS soon. IOS has new features in notes. Like Evernote? IOS has took note. El Capitan updates will make notes more useful. Apple Maps will be integrating transit schedules. Will you still use Google Now or another transit app? This looks like a clean-up year for IOS. And, it will be glorious once the kinks get fixed. Swift is now 2.0 and opensource! IOS and Mac developer programs are now the same, and include Apple Watch development. Ever notice your apps are huge with all the platform assets for all the things? Apps will pull for what platform you're actually using. Thing we just learned: 3GS replacements were still a thing until recently. Shout out to everyone who has all the preinstalled iPhone apps you never use in a folder just taking up space. Talking about Apple Watch pairing process. News outlets can register their RSS feed on Apple News to provide content for the Apple Watch. Articles without ads? Apple News is utilizing a FlipBoard approach for their news app. live.sorgatronmedia.com Siri gets more #GoogleNow and swipe right functionality. live.sorgatronmedia.com Native watch apps will help Apple Watch speed, and that's just one of the updates on the horizon. Battery life in Apple Watch is pretty decent. Chilla approves. Smart folks at #Apple have a nightstand mode for Apple Watch. It stretches the time to a sideways view so it is legible - on a nightstand. Mid June expectation for in-store purchase of Apple Watch. If you didn't pre-order yours, there's hope! Dre and Trent Reznor - Apple folks - as in, they work with Apple. Pretty Hate Machine Public betas of OS - a thing Apple is doing. How do you think this is going to go over with the masses? SHIFT KEY IS FIXED! Apple Update Smaller updates = less space to run IOS. Good job Apple Apple made an Android app "Move to IOS" - transfers your Android over to an IOS phone. Free apps get downloaded. Pay apps go to wishlist.

Prior to today, Instagram has been populated by IOS users â?? but today, the Android market is taking over. And, itâ??s driving Rob nuts!

Foursquare revokes location API for an app that searches for girls in the vicinity.

With the draw of Draw Something, we can't go without mentioning the Zynga scoop up of OMGPOP. From a revived discussion of the do not track initiative push, to a Facebook suicide, to employers requiring employees to turn over their FB login information, we turn the discussion back to Facebook and its ever present status in the changing face of social media protocol.

We have some speculations this week. Because we all use our tech so much, the FAA is rethinking its policy on device usage in flight - especially when the pilot's flight plan is on his iPad.
