Things are back to normal on our weekly news-chat show: everyone’s arguing about television. The team talks about cord-cutting, and how it’s increasingly a bad financial proposition considering how expensive all that premium content is when you buy it a-la-carte. Unfair! Amazon is experimenting with its future hardware plans, and the hosts discuss what could be next for the retail/services/everything giant. Lastly, while David and Molly engage in a heated debate about the ethics of using Uber, Michael steps into the street, hails a taxi cab, and disappears. Send the hosts feedback on their personal Twitter feeds (David Pierce is @pierce, Molly McHugh is @iammollymchugh and Michael Calore is @snackfight) or to the main hotline at @GadgetLab.
