Episode 40: WWDC Wishes and Wonders

The Icon Garden

Black Lives Matter.

For our fortieth regular show, we take a moment to address the current global situation and our thought on Black Lives Matter and the current protests. Then we take a step back and talk a little about what we want and expect to see out of WWDC. Plus, we chat about what we want Apple to do to fix our home theater and device sprawl problems. Lastly, it’s Bizarro World in the HomeKit Chronicles as Dan joins the party with an Air Conditioner...and HomeBridge!
