This is The Verge Live: Google I/O 2013. Join Joshua Topolsky, Chris Ziegler, and friends as we break down all the big news of today and what it means for Google and its future. There might be <i>actual androids</i>, but we make no promises that you'll be able to figure out who.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/15/4333868/the-verge-live-google-i-o-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-05-09T19:55:57Z 2013-05-09T19:55:57Z <p>Stand up, sit down, miss the chair, wonder how you did, look back, see your buddies, curse the sky, try to stand up, banana peel, slip and fall again, seriously wonder how you missed that, try to block out everyone laughing by humming a song, realize it's a very lame song from the 90s and you're humming very loud, realize everyone is now laughing harder, turn beet red, wonder why you've been spelling it "beat red" all this time without questioning it, realize you're still on the floor, give up on trying to stand, crab walk to nearest exit, stand up, brush yourself off, go home, lay in bed, open laptop, watch Vergecast, take a deep breath, watch Top Shelf.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/9/4316260/the-vergecast-076-may-9th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-05-01T02:59:00Z 2013-05-01T02:59:00Z <p>Paul Miller has been offline for an entire year, and that year is finally over. The question is, what did he do in his time away from the internet? What lessons did he learn? Find out in tonight's special edition of <em>The Vergecast</em>.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/30/4288106/vergecast-special-edition-paul-miller-returns-to-the-internet Evan Rodgers 2013-04-25T19:51:57Z 2013-04-25T19:51:57Z <p>"Magical." "Revolutionary." "Stunning." "Awe-inspiring." "Stupendous." "Tubular." "Gnarly." "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." With so many events now confirmed on our calendar, it feels like a good time to brush up on our hyperboles. After all, here's the list as we see it: Google I/O, CTIA, Xbox, WWDC, E3 (which includes Microsoft and Sony press conferences, along something lower-key from Nintendo), and that's just the next two months.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/25/4265128/the-vergecast-075-april-25th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-04-18T19:59:07Z 2013-04-18T19:59:07Z <p>The day has come. Which day? This one. The one you're experience right now from wherever you are &mdash; let's call it "right here." So this day. Right here. Soon to be "right now." That's when you can expect the incredible combination of The Vergecast and Top Shelf. One after the other, because to show them in stereo would be too much.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/18/4239688/the-vergecast-074-april-18th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-04-11T19:56:06Z 2013-04-11T19:56:06Z <p>"You are being watched." Or more accurately, "You are being recorded." Surveillance cameras on every corner. Smartphone cameras in every pocket. And more and more we're seeing a near-term future of flying drones and head-mounted lenses. But it's not just state and government &mdash; it's citizens, as well. It's you, me, everyone. And what does that mean?</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/11/4213942/the-vergecast-073-april-11th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-04-04T20:17:51Z 2013-04-04T20:17:51Z <p>Don't call them the Chat Heads, they've been people for years.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/4/4184276/the-vergecast-072 Ross Miller 2013-03-28T19:58:01Z 2013-03-28T19:58:01Z <p>This just in: all cameras in The Vergecast studio have been replaced with drones. Drones with their own AI-driven personalities. They're curious, they're nosy, they're surprisingly stable. If you see a drone, do not panic. Approach slowly, let it warm up to you first. If the drone is watching The Vergecast, please let it be. Do not startle it &mdash; our feed will look terrible and, to be perfectly honest, those little helicopter blades are kind of painful.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/28/4157116/the-vergecast-071-march-28th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-03-22T17:25:20Z 2013-03-22T17:25:20Z <p>It's not a hangout. It's not a hangout. It's not a hangout.</p> <p>That mantra isn't for you, but we thought you'd like to know up front. The Vergecast studio still hasn't installed any of our usual holographic projections, but we do have a pretty awesome studio setup in our new offices. So be sure to join Josh, Nilay, and special guest Adrianne Jeffries today in a new set!</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/22/4135844/the-vergecast-070-march-22nd-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-03-15T00:13:07Z 2013-03-15T00:13:07Z http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/14/4100606/the-verge-live-samsung-galaxy-s-4 Evan Rodgers 2013-03-07T19:31:30Z 2013-03-07T19:31:30Z http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/7/4072696/the-vergecast-067-march-7th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-02-21T19:22:53Z 2013-02-21T19:22:53Z <p>We as a species are constantly evolving through various states of flux and incongruity. That's doubly true for The Verge right now, as we prepare to move into our new offices. So join us in a much more intimate setting &mdash; namely, a hangout. There's plenty to talk about this week!</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/21/4014140/the-vergecast-065-february-21st-2013 John Lagomarsino 2013-02-15T22:02:44Z 2013-02-15T22:02:44Z http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/15/3993458/the-vergecast-065-february-15th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-02-07T21:35:24Z 2013-02-07T21:35:24Z http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/7/3964726/the-vergecast-064-february-7th-2013 Evan Rodgers 2013-01-31T23:41:11Z 2013-01-31T23:41:11Z http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/31/3938912/the-vergecast-063-january-24th-2013 Brendan Murphy 2013-01-24T23:19:01Z 2013-01-24T23:19:01Z <p>It's unbelievably cold in New York City and across the Northeast this week. The cold may have slowed your brain functionality to a crawl, but we have a tiny flame of warmth to share with you, dear listeners &mdash; warm your hearts with this week's Vergecast. Josh is back after a week's absence, and will be joined by Nilay as well as special guests Ben Popper and Dieter Bohn. Four Vergecasters for the price of three. How can you go wrong? </p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/24/3913014/the-vergecast-062-January-24th-2013 Brendan Murphy 2013-01-18T14:49:45Z 2013-01-18T14:49:45Z http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/18/3890302/the-vergecast-061-january-17th-2013 Brendan Murphy 2013-01-11T06:46:59Z 2013-01-11T06:46:59Z <p>It's the final Vergecast of CES, and it's a doozie.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/11/3864740/the-vergecast-after-hours-at-ces-night-4 Brendan Murphy 2013-01-10T16:52:07Z 2013-01-10T16:52:07Z <p>Day two of the show floor. Day four of all CES news coming out in full force. Day... we lost count... of us being in Las Vegas preparing for the spectacle. It's been a long time. Delusional is the nice way of putting it. Whatever, here's The Vergecast, it's gonna be a thrill ride beyond poetic description! </p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/10/3861028/the-verge-after-hours-at-ces-night-3 Evan Rodgers 2013-01-09T07:03:42Z 2013-01-09T07:03:42Z <p>First day of the show floor. The TV-to-person ratio begins to inch closer to one in a very concentrated geographical location in Las Vegas, Nevada. CES has really and truly begun. Or maybe, just maybe, it has ended. Will tomorrow be different than today? Could it? Have all these descriptions ended in a series of questions? Is that a sign of our loss of sanity? Probably. Let's do Vergecast after hours.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/9/3854238/the-vergecast-after-hours-at-ces-night-2 Brendan Murphy 2013-01-09T03:31:10Z 2013-01-09T03:31:10Z <p>Gather round by the fire. It's time for The Vergecast After Hours. After a long day of covering the news on the ground in CES, Josh, Nilay, and Paul kick back, relax, and give their first impressions of the worlds biggest technology show.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/8/3853702/the-vergecast-after-hours-at-ces-night-1 Brendan Murphy 2013-01-07T07:57:37Z 2013-01-07T07:57:37Z <p>Josh, Nilay, and Paul sit down for their first live show of CES 2013 at The Verge Studio A. </p> http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/7/3844896/the-vergecast-060-january-5th-2013 Brendan Murphy 2012-12-29T16:39:25Z 2012-12-29T16:39:25Z <p>This is the end, my only friend, the end.</p> <p>But not the end of the world &mdash; not even the end of our daily print publication, 90 Pages on The Verge on College-Ruled Notebook Paper (with a readership of approximately three mothers to staff writers). It's just the end of the year for The Vergecast, the last before we take the 2012 calendars down and put up a 2013 calendar (or, for those who like to recycle, calendars from the years 2002, 1991, 1985, 1974, 1963, 1957, 1946, 1935, 1929, 1918, 1907, 1901, and so on and so forth...). Josh and Nilay took a week off to spend time with families, which has given them plenty of time to gather thoughts about the latest in Facebook and Instagram privacy fears.</p> <p>There was also time to reflect, poetically, on what CES means for 2013 and beyond &mdash; we'll be there in full force, of course, but with a new outlook on life. All this and more plus Ross Miller filling in for Paul (his Offline Terms of Service stipulates against Google+ Hangouts [okay, maybe that joke is a little mean <a little mean to terms of services that is also paul sorry>]).</a></p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/29/3814736/the-vergecast-059-december-28th-2012 John Lagomarsino 2012-12-13T20:46:41Z 2012-12-13T20:46:41Z <p>On this week's Vergecast Josh, Nilay, and Paul broadcast live from The Verge's holiday party at the Angel Orensanz center in Manhattan's Lower East Side to look back on the past year in technology culture and, of course, culture culture.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/13/3762326/the-vergecast-058-december-12th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-12-08T15:00:09Z 2012-12-08T15:00:09Z <p>In Tim Cook's first 16 month as Apple's CEO, he has had little to say to the media outside of product announcements &mdash; that is, until this week. In recent interviews with Bloomberg Businessweek and NBC's Rock Center, Tim Cook speaks out about his role as CEO, the legacy of Steve Jobs, Apple's interest in the television market, and the return of Apple manufacturing to the United States.</p> <p>On this week's Vergecast, Josh, Nilay, and Paul read between the lines of these recent interviews and discuss the current state and future direction of Apple under Tim Cook.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/8/3741522/the-vergecast-057-december-7th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-11-30T18:55:54Z 2012-11-30T18:55:54Z <p>It feels good to be back! It's been two weeks since the last Vergecast and three since Joshua Topolsky last sat in the captain's chair. What better way to get back in touch with the people than to take calls? We hear from you on some of the most important matters of the day &mdash; Star Wars trivia, and the always worrisome problem of keeping vegetables fresh. Also hear about the Vergecasters' latest adventures with the Wii Mini and the Wii U.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/30/3708428/the-vergecast-056-november-29th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-11-16T16:36:17Z 2012-11-16T16:36:17Z <p>Patel, Miller, and Miller: three righteous brosephs with a lot on their minds. First up: two executives with questionable social graces step down in the past month &mdash; first Apple's Scott Forestall and now Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky. Does this mark the end of an era for jerks? And if so, who's next on the chopping block? The Verge's Microsoft guru Tom Warren stops by to share his thoughts on the resignation of Sinofsky and what it means to the future of the company.</p> <p>Next: The War for TV continues (will it ever end?). We take calls to hear what kinds of setups listeners have in their living rooms and what it would take to cut the cord (if they haven't already). Also, learn how Nilay became the hero of his college dorm.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/16/3653646/the-vergecast-055-november15th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-11-10T04:07:04Z 2012-11-10T04:07:04Z <p>It was just about one year ago that a powerful explosion triggered a multitude of chemical reactions which caused a mutation in the primordial ooze that resulted in the birth of The Verge. It has since grown from an awkward and slimy baby into a mischievous but lovable toddler. The cultural phenomenon evolved a lot in the first year, but it still has a lot of growing up to do.</p> <p>On this weeks Vergecast Josh, Nilay, and Paul take a moment to celebrate and reflect on the past year. And what better way to celebrate than with party hats, cup cakes, and a rousing political debate.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/9/3623128/the-vergecast-054-november-8th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-11-02T14:47:49Z 2012-11-02T14:47:49Z <p>Hurricane Sandy has come and gone, but people in New York are still dealing with the aftermath. Half of the city is still without power, and many people's homes have have been damaged due to flood or fire. Despite being the first anniversary of The Verge and The Vergecast, we've decided to postpone the celebration until next week. Please make a <a href="http://www.redcross.org/charitable-donations" target="new">charitable donation to The American Red Cross</a> in lieu of any birthday presents.</p> <p>On this week's Vergecast, Josh and Nilay are still stranded in Brooklyn so they join David and Ross via what remains of the internet. The gang share their first-hand accounts of hurricane happenings and review the news of the week.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/2/3589748/the-vergecast-053-november-1st-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-10-27T15:09:09Z 2012-10-27T15:09:09Z <p>It's the halfway point of what we on staff have affectionally termed "Late October Madness," with Apple this past Tuesday and Google / Windows Phone this upcoming Monday. Thursday was all about Microsoft: the company held two events to celebrate the launch of Windows 8 and the new Surface tablet. Thankfully we imported our UK-based Senior News Editor (and Microsoft guru) Tom Warren for just such an occasion. He joins David and Nilay through a lively discussion. You can try to follow along with a table of contents, but that's almost an exercise in futility &mdash; pretty much all roads lead back to Microsoft. </p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/27/3562614/the-vergecast-052-october-26th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-10-24T15:33:13Z 2012-10-24T15:33:13Z <p>Apple held an event this week in San Jose to announce the much anticipated iPad mini along with an updated iPad, much slimmer iMac, tweaked Mac mini and 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. The Verge was on the scene to cover the action live. Join hosts Ross Miller and David Pierce as they welcome in a panel of experts including consumer electronics analyst Avi Greengart, writer / designer Craig Mod, FiftyThree developer Andrew S Allen, and The Verge's own Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Scott Lowe and Nathan Ingraham.</p> <p>Watch or listen to the recording of the coverage below and check out the event's story stream for in-depth articles about every announcement.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/24/3547436/the-vergecast-apples-ipad-mini-event-october-23rd-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-10-19T16:12:54Z 2012-10-19T16:12:54Z http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/19/3525894/the-vergecast-051-october-18th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-10-12T17:29:21Z 2012-10-12T17:29:21Z <p>This is it folks. The 50th episode of The Vergecast. It's a very special day in the life of every podcast. A day that like all other days, only happens once. Although it seems like The Vergecast is all grown up, that's not really the case. It's really just getting started. Think of it like a toddler: it's filled with wonder and awe, everything is exciting and wonderful, and it's always getting into trouble.</p> <p>On this week's episode Josh, Nilay, and Ross welcome in 5by5's Dan Benjamin to discuss the news of the week.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/12/3492982/the-vergecast-050-october-11th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-10-05T16:49:38Z 2012-10-05T16:49:38Z <p>No matter where you are from, if you're watching or listening to this podcast we congratulate you.

Pull up a chair. Make yourself comfortable. It's time to talk tech. It's time to talk life. It's time for another Vergecast. On this week's episode, our man on the ground Dieter Bohn calls in with the latest news from BlackBerry Jam. David stops by to share the latest trends in cameras from Photokina 2012, along with his experience with the new Nook HD. Nilay shares his thoughts on the recent broadband speech from FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. Ross? He's there for some reason. And a week after his iPhone 5 review, Josh has some new thoughts and scuffs to share. Also, Josh takes a trip down memory lane to reveal his past life as a tech support operator for a ISP.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/28/3422578/the-vergecast-048-september-27th-2012-video Brendan Murphy 2012-09-22T18:09:46Z 2012-09-22T18:09:46Z <p>On this week's episode Joshua "as seen on TV" Topolsky recaps his iPhone 5 review, Nilay details Apple's wrong turn with maps, and Paul reveals his revolutionary idea for making use of the iPhone 5's added screen real-estate. Also, Dan Seifert drops by to review iOS 6 and the latest from HTC.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/22/3372140/the-vergecast-047-september-21st-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-09-13T13:40:07Z 2012-09-13T13:40:07Z <p>Apple held a special event yesterday to announce the long awaited and much rumored iPhone 5 along with a new iPod touch, iPod nano, and a revamp of iTunes. The Verge was there to report the story as it unfolded. Join hosts Ross Miller and David Pierce and a panel of Verge editors as they review the announcements and what they mean to you (and your wallet). Also, Joshua Topolsky and Nilay Patel join in live from San Francisco to share their hands-on experiences and first impressions.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/13/3325776/the-vergecast-apple-event-september-12th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-09-07T21:11:13Z 2012-09-07T21:11:13Z <p>With events from Nokia, Motorolla, and Amazon this week, it goes without saying that this week's Vergecast is quite eventful. So eventful you might even say that it's actually an event of its own. Lets call it an event event. And what's an event without special guests? Speaking of special guests: We are joined in-studio by the UK's own Tom Warren and Dieter "The Bohn Zone" Bohn who have plenty to say about the latest announcements from Nokia and Motorolla. And Ross Miller and David Pierce join us live from Los Angeles to share Amazon's latest revelations. Did these three companies do enough to steal Apple 's thunder next week? Only time will tell.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/7/3300412/the-vergecast-046-september-6th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-31T16:07:19Z 2012-08-31T16:07:19Z <p>The party's just getting started at IFA 2012 in Berlin, and Samsung and Sony are leading the charge with new phones, tablets, laptops and a little bit of magic. On this week's Vergecast, our man on the ground Vlad Savov calls in with his first-hand account of all the action. Also - Offline Paul Miller gives a rare sneak peak at his archive of future tweets and Joshua Topolsky shares his tale of his ill-fated quest to procure the coveted Rasta Banana.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/31/3282159/the-vergecast-045-august-30th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-25T14:51:54Z 2012-08-25T14:51:54Z <p>The Vergecast returns on a Friday night to report the news of the Apple vs. Samsung verdict live as it happens and give the in-depth analysis you need to make sense of it all. On tonight's episode, Joshua Topolsky is joined by a team of Verge correspondents to go page by page through the jury's decision, and discuss the implications and next steps for Apple and Samsung.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/25/3267378/the-vergecast-special-edition-04-apple-vs-samsung-august-24th-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-24T17:29:43Z 2012-08-24T17:29:43Z <p>The Vergecast returns this week with a special king-sized edition running two hours. Is AT&T's decision to require a new Mobile Share plan for cellular FaceTime calls purely profit driven, or part of an international conspiracy to piss off Nilay? <br>And in a week jam packed with news from Apple vs. Samsung, Facebook, Amazon, and Onlive, Microsoft decides to grab a piece of the spotlight with the release of a brand new logo. Resident offline sketch artist Paul Miller took his stab at drawing the logo with a little descriptive help from Josh and Nilay.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/24/3265128/the-vergecast-044-august-23-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-23T17:19:25Z 2012-08-23T17:19:25Z <p>It has been quite a week in the tech trial of the century. Samsung and Apple have both completed their primary cases, rebuttals, and closing statements and the fate of two of the largest companies in the world now lies in the hands of the jury. These nine ordinary people, equipped with 109 pages of instructions and allowed access to many of the devices in question, are now faced with a monumental task of completing a daunting 20-page verdict form. Go forth brave jurors! <br>Watch and listen below for a recap of the week's happenings, with our own Bryan Bishop calling in live from the courthouse, and stay tuned in to the storystream for regular updates.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/23/3261224/the-vergecast-special-edition-03-apple-vs-samsung-august-22-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-17T15:43:07Z 2012-08-17T15:43:07Z <p>Nice guy Joshua Topolsky, meany face Paul miller, and average man Nilay Patel. Three unique humans brought together every week by a shared passion for technology and a love of life. The Vergecast returns for the 43rd time to discuss the news, and more importantly, what it means to you. On the agenda this week: Highlights from Apple vs. Samsung, reviews of the Galaxy Note 10.1 and Windows 8, RIM's latest phones and new ambitions, and Apple's plans to strike a deal with cable operators.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3249167/the-vergecast-043-august-16-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-16T17:15:11Z 2012-08-16T17:15:11Z <p>The Vergecast Special Edition returns in the middle of a five day action packed week in court. On this week's episode, our man on the ground Brain Bishop phones in with the latest firsthand report. After Apple wrapped up its testimony on Monday, Samsung began its offensive by convincing Judge Lucy Koh to omit three international devices from the case. Despite this minor victory, the war is far from over. Samsung is continuing its case with some of its own infringement claims and a number of expert witnesses. Watch and listen below for a recap of the week's happenings, and stay tuned in to the story stream for regular updates.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/16/3246631/the-vergecast-special-edition-02-apple-vs-samsung-august-15-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-10T15:21:39Z 2012-08-10T15:21:39Z <p>Joshua Topolsky makes his triumphant return to The Vergecast the same week as NASA lands its Curiosity rover on Mars. Global conspiracy or coincidence? We'll let you decide. While we can neither confirm nor deny Josh's involvement in this galactic feat, it was quite an achievement for mankind and an important step towards our ultimate goal of establishing a Foursquare presence on every planet. To balance out victory with a dose of defeat, a group of hackers destroyed a tech journalist's digital life, revealing startling security flaws in Apple and Amazon accounts. And is the $22.5 million penalty enforced on Google a big win for online privacy advocates and FTC, or just a slap on the wrist?</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/10/3233109/the-vergecast-042-august-9-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-09T16:37:57Z 2012-08-09T16:37:57Z <p>Sometimes one Vergecast just isn't enough, and with the advent of what could be the biggest tech trial of the decade, this is certainly one of those times. So we're spinning off The Vergecast Special Edition: Apple vs. Samsung, a weekly series hosted by managing editor and Vergecast veteran Nilay Patel and featuring The Verge's courtroom reporter Bryan Bishop and patent expert Matt Macari. On this week's episode, we discuss Samsung's internal 132-page document comparing the iPhone to its own Galaxy S, the testimony of Mac icon designer Susan Kare, and Bryan's first hand account of all the courtroom drama to date. Listen in &mdash; court is in session.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/9/3230115/the-vergecast-special-edition-apple-vs-samsung-01-august-8-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-08-03T15:29:10Z 2012-08-03T15:29:10Z <p>The Vergecast is back, and with Josh relaxing in a cabin in the woods drinking glass after refreshing glass of ice cold seltzer, his faithful cohorts must carry the torch. On this week's episode Nilay, Paul, and Ross welcome three extremely qualified phone guests to give us the inside scoop on this week's most important topics. Microsoft's Brian Hall takes us under the hood of the new Outlook.com, Bryan Bishop delivers his first-hand report on the week's Snapple courtroom drama, and Tom Warren gives us the latest on Windows 8. Sit back, relax, and get ready to be informed!</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/3/3217382/the-vergecast-041-august-2-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-07-28T17:12:07Z 2012-07-28T17:12:07Z <p>The Vergecast turns 40 today! Josh celebrated by taking some much deserved time off. Either that or he's secretly moving to Kansas City so he can download legally stream Game of Thrones faster than ever before. On this week's episode, Nilay welcomes in Ross Miller and TC Sottek to discuss Google Fiber, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and the always refreshing Apple vs. Samsung debacle (Snapple for short). We hear first hand from a Kansas City resident to get more details on how Google is putting cable companies to shame, TC tells us why the EVO 3D is hip in Baltimore, and the internet's own Creighton "Krayshawn" DeSimone makes a rare on-camera appearance. We hope you've enjoyed your 90-second appetizer, now get ready for your 6,000-second main course.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/28/3197058/the-vergecast-040-july-27-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-07-20T16:33:37Z 2012-07-20T16:33:37Z <p>It's opening weekend for The Dark Knight Rises, a strong contender for highest-grossing film ever. Our dynamic trio &mdash; Josh, Ross, and David &mdash; can barely contain their excitement. But still they march on, doing what they can to make sense of the numerous earnings reports from this week. If you're excited about numbers, we've got a fresh batch of financials from Google, Nokia, Microsoft and Verizon. We've got a rundown on new Yahoo CEO (and former high-profile Google exec) Marissa Mayer. And before the show ends, we excitedly unbox a Nexus 7 &mdash; everyone else was doing it, so why not? Consider it your civic duty to tune in right now on a computer, tablet, or phone near you!</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/20/3171733/the-vergecast-039-july-19-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-07-13T23:25:11Z 2012-07-13T23:25:11Z <p>In a world where the most powerful and influential companies are often the most misleading to their customers, it is crucial to have a source of information you can count on. That's where The Vegecast comes in; straight-up, hard-hitting real talk you can hang your hat on. On today's special delicious smoothie edition, Josh tells the inside story of his interview with Thorstein Heins, Nilay runs through the history of competition in telecommunications, and Paul gives out his PO box number. Sit back, relax, and get ready to be refreshed.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/13/3157607/the-vergecast-038-july-13-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-07-06T17:08:51Z 2012-07-06T17:08:51Z <p>The Vergecast is back with a very special reunion edition. On today's episode, Nilay and Paul join Josh in the studio for the first time in over six weeks! With a month full of major tech news, Nilay's wedding, and Paul's madcap adventures, the guys have a lot to catch up on. And after a day of celebrating America's Freedom, The Vergecasters take a moment to reflect on the relatively constrained state of the American wireless marketplace. Are carriers acting as a barrier to the pursuit of innovation? Should patent law be governed by the rules of Streetball? Should Nilay run for president? Find out on today's Vergecast.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/6/3140875/the-vergecast-037-july-05-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-06-30T21:12:32Z 2012-06-30T21:12:32Z <p>Much like Apple and Microsoft before it, Google decided to control the news cycle for a full week via its I/O conference. The company unveiled Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and not one but two new pieces of hardware &mdash; the much-lauded Nexus 7 tablet and the confused child that is Nexus Q. Somewhere in between, RIM fell on even harder times. Laura June, Ellis Hamburger, and Dieter Bohn join Josh to make sense of this new world.</p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/30/3127919/the-vergecast-036-june-29-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-06-23T15:06:14Z 2012-06-23T15:06:14Z <p>Senior editor, London resident, and Microsoft expert Tom Warren Skypes in to the show to give Josh, Nilay, Ross, and T.C. in-depth analysis, informed predictions, and a sweet accent.<a type="video/mp4" rel="enclosure" href="http://share.sbndev.net.s3.amazonaws.com/VST_035_062212_itunes.mp4">&nbsp</a></p> http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/23/3111786/the-vergecast-035-june-22-2012 Brendan Murphy 2012-06-15T01:20:35Z 2012-06-15T01:20:35Z <p>The Vergecast is back again with a special bite-sized one hour edition, but don't be fooled by the length.
