The Vergecast 039: Early iPads and earnings

It's opening weekend for The Dark Knight Rises, a strong contender for highest-grossing film ever. Our dynamic trio — Josh, Ross, and David — 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 — 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!
