In this episode that’s heavy in video game and smartphone news: are music downloads dead; Facebook invents a new measurement of time (maybe spend more of that time working on fake news?); Facebook challenges Twitch with an eSports deal AND they are allowing fans of game streamers to give them money (the streamers, not Facebook -er, well, we know Facebook will get *some* of the money); big brother blizzard (thanks, Donovan) scoping out Overwatch videos for “bad actors”; more iPhone and Samsung news for 2018; a female Col. Sanders; Overwatch League; reboots abound and Burger King’s take on net neutrality.
