Description

We’ve got a bloggy Vergecast today. In between review weeks, a few things popped up in the news that Nilay, Dieter, and Paul needed to talk about. Google is integrating video chat into a phone but still not text; you can now watch all the movies you’ve purchased online in one place; Apple is on a “hype cycle” talking about AR; and Windows Phone died again.

But that’s not all. There’s a whole lot in between that — like the segment Paul does every week, “You know Dan, the duck face is no longer cool” — so listen to it all and you’ll get it all. 

07:28 - Android Messaging rant

18:49 - Hollywood studios join Disney to launch Movies Anywhere digital locker service

26:07 - Google will “permanently remove” Home Mini feature that led to constant recording

32:21 - Apple hype cycle

38:02 - Oculus announces new $199 self-contained VR headset called Oculus Go

49:59 - Windows Phone is dead

58:17 - Paul’s weekly segment “You know Dan, the duck face is no longer cool”

1:01:50 - Amazon finally makes a waterproof Kindle, after 10 years of Kindles

Hello! This is The Vergecast, the flagship podcast of The Verge... and your life. Every Friday, Nilay Patel and Dieter Bohn make sense of the week's tech news with help from our wide-ranging staff. And on Tuesdays, Nilay hosts in-depth, one-on-one interviews with major technology leaders. Join us every week for a fun, deeply nerdy, often off-the-rails conversation about what's happening now (and next) in technology and gadgets.
