  1. First!

    I need my Tested fix!

    For someone who’s not interested in games, VR or a lot of tech news. I really don’t know why I keep coming back.

  2. “I can’t think of another case where a phone like this has been straight up canceled, except for the Amazon Fire phone.”

    So, the Note 7 is the new fire phone?

    …ba-dum, tiss

  3. I thought Google Home not being in the Google router was a missed opportunity but then I thought where my own router is or where a lot of people’s routers are. In a closet, on the floor, buried behind cables, buried in an AV cabinet/stand. Not something that sits proud and pretty.

    The mesh extensions points make a little more sense to be the same device as Google Home where you might stick them on a side table, a counter, or desk or something somewhere.

  4. Luke Cage is amazing. Law and order mixed with Superman, influences of Spike Lee. Misty Knight has a fascinating character arc.

    Also… did he break Netflix for real? Does that give an indicator of how many people watched and what Netflix’s capacity is?

  5. I really enjoyed Luke Cage, I still think Daredevil S1 and Jessica Jones were better, but that is a high bar. There were parts where the plot was lacking a bit, villains without clear and immediate motivations… much the same as what I felt dragged down bits of DD season 2.

    Can’t wait for Iron Fist, looks amazing.

    With DC having The Flash, as well as the promising Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow semi-reboots (Arrow is still a clusterfuck)… it is a good time to be a fan of comic book television.
