Apple is rumored to be readying an update for the Apple Watch and Apple TV featuring TV Kit (http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/18/apple-readies-first-significant-apple-watch-updates-tvkit-sdk-for-apple-tv/). We complain about arranging Apple Watch apps which is the firstest of world problems (http://www.imore.com/how-rearrange-apps-your-apple-watch). A 15-inch MacBook Pro with Force Touch may not be long off, as well as a 27-inch iMac update

Lex is...actually we don't know where Lex is. But we have the lovely and talented Jason Snell on this week's episode taking up the slack and then some. You can use emoji to order a pizza on Twitter. But it's Domino's. (http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/13/news/companies/dominos-twitter/index.html) We talk about some of the security concerns about the Apple Watch (http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/05/13/the-apple-watch-thieves-reset-no-activation-lock-security/), mostly because Dan's afraid his will get

Some people think the app screen on the Watch is unneeded (https://twitter.com/jsnell/status/595021309752549376). They are wrong. Here's a closer look at the insides of the Apple Watch: https://www.abiresearch.com/press/apple-watch-insides-pcb-details-revealed-for-the-f/ The next Apple TV may feature a new haptic remote (http://www.imore.com/rumored-apple-tv-refresh-will-reportedly-include-redesigned-remote-touch-pad). Apple reportedly is trying to make free Spotify go away

This week's episode takes place as Moltz is waiting for delivery of his Apple Watch. While he waits, he might benefit from learning some tips about the Apple Watch (http://www.imore.com/28-apple-watch-tips-and-tricks-you-should-know). We predict that sleeve cut-outs for smartwatches will be a future trend, like double ties (http://news.greatblogabout.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/windowslivewriterbacktothefuturecontinue.part2-101a8513.jpg). Dan and Lex don't notice serious battery drain on their

Dan is back from his nerdfest (http://www.starwarscelebration.com) where a new Star Wars trailer was released if you haven't heard (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/lucasfilm/starwarstheforceawakens/). Lex is the perfect person to talk to about Star Wars (https://twitter.com/lexfri/status/588835146545102848). Lex has returned his 13-inch MacBook Pro for a 15-inch MacBook Pro which, it turns out, they still make (http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/). Jon Armstrong recommends using only the dedicated

Dan is away so Lex and Moltz draft fellow Turning This Car Around (http://turningthiscararound.com) co-host Jon Armstrong to guest co-host. And guess what we start off with. Guess. Go on. Guess. Hey, you were right! Apple Watch pre-ordering. They went pretty fast (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/10/apple-watch-sold-out-launch-day/). Did people order a million of them? Probably. And more. But this survey is not to be taken seriously

First, of course, we talked about the Apple Watch, because: Duh. Apple unveiled ten tour videos, but only released three. (http://www.apple.com/watch/guided-tours/) We smell a conspiracy. The buttons and the presses and the whatnot — it's a lot to take in. Dan's still not ready to Periscope (http://periscope.tv), but John's tried it and Lex can't stop. But Dan promises that when he DOES finally Periscope, it will be epic. No pressure. We also ruminate on what's next for Meerkat. Remember

Programming note: Moltz's computer crashed and lost his recording and we had to use the Skype track so if the audio isn't up to our normal high standards we apologize. This week we talk about Periscope and Lex even records one live which is not live by the time you're reading this (http://www.buzzfeed.com/mathonan/meet-periscope-twitters-new-live-video-app). We even figure out how to monetize it with Square Cash (http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/23/8277007/square-cash-business-cashtag). As we were

We could be looking at a new Apple TV this fall (http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/new-apple-tv-set-top-will-debut-this-summer-with-app-store-s#.fsPjk8dY4). If you're really desperate to see what the Apple Watch might look like on your wrist, there's now an app for that (http://www.popsci.com/try-virtual-apple-watch-app). But don't get an Apple Watch because it'll definitely give you wrist cancer

It's an all non-Apple Watch episode! Apple might be working on a television service (http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/16/wsj-apple-announcing-30-40month-web-tv-service-in-june-shipping-in-september-with-25-channels/), if you believe the Wall Street Journal. Apple and NBC aren't talking, except for the fact that NBC is apparently making an Apple TV app (http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/17/nbc-plans-cable-dependent-apple-tv-app-for-second-half-of-2015/). Figure that out. We also talk about USB-C which is our new

If you missed it, Apple announced a mess o' stuff on Monday, including new 12-inch MacBooks (http://www.apple.com/macbook/) and a lot more Watch information (http://www.apple.com/watch/) on pricing, bands and more.

Lex isn't a fan of Apple's recent ads (http://www.apple.com/ipad/changing-film/) and we speculate on what ads for the Watch will be like. Dan remembers some iPhone ads of yore (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/12/opinion/l12brooks.html?ref=opinion&_r=0). While you listen to this episode, you can pick your Watch combination (http://mixyourwatch.com/). We're not sure it'll be available, though. Is the Apple Watch going to be ugradeable?

Screw the Apple Watch, Dan says he's buying a Pebble Time (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-awesome-smartwatch-no-compromises?ref=nav_search), which funded within minutes and is coming up on 20 times their goal with 30 days to go. Then we get right back to Apple Car, Apple Car, Apple Car (http://www.mondaynote.com/2015/02/22/apple-car-three-more-thoughts/). Then we talk about Alto's Adventure (http://sixcolors.com/link/2015/02/altos-adventure-is-anything-but-a-grind/) and

Oh, you know we're talking about the Apple Car because where there's smoke (http://9to5mac.com/2015/02/19/apple-electric-car-team/) there's something that's smoking. Or someone who's smoking. Dan is decidedly anti-Apple Car while Lex is pro-Apple Car and Moltz just wants to take a nap. The GM CEO is also anti-Apple Car (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/02/18/former-gm-ceo-on-apple-car/). Then we talk about Apple Watch pricing (http://daringfireball.net/2015/02/apple_watch_pricing) because that's what

This week we take a look at the looks at Photos (http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/5/7982517/apple-photos-mac-iphoto-replacement-explainer-faq). Lex is getting a new dog (https://twitter.com/lexfri/status/564570865787211776). This is a tech podcast. Despite the initial excitement about extensions (http://www.macworld.com/article/2684894/ios-8-extensions-how-they-work-and-why-they-matter-to-you.html), we're not using quite as many of them as we thought. Then we get back to our recurring topic: Apple

Lex will be back next week but it's just Dan and John this week. Apple had a record quarter again (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/01/apple-announces-q1-2015-results-today/), despite the dreaded currency headwinds. Brr. Gene Munster got no answers on the Apple TV yet again. Dan likes his Fire TV (http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-W87CUN-Fire-TV-Stick/dp/B00GDQ0RMG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422649498&sr=8-1&keywords=fire+tv) and Plex (https://plex.tv).

Microsoft announced freaking holograms this week (actual holograms not included) so we spend most of our time on that (http://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens/). There's a host of "ZOMG!" commentary on the web about it but there's at least some reason to have a wait-and-see attitude (http://www.polygon.com/2015/1/21/7868351/hololens-kinect-microsoft-windows-10). Not-really-holograms are so exciting that barely leaves us any time to discuss how badly

We still eagerly await the Apple Watch, the companion app for which was recently revealed (http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/13/apple-watch-iphone-companion-app-revealed-with-new-watch-features-monograms/). But if you went to CES you could have gotten a fake Apple Watch for $30 (http://mashable.com/2015/01/08/fake-apple-watch-ces/). That reminds us of a great story from Macworld | iWorld 2013

Much of the episode is spent talking about a post by Marco Arment (http://www.marco.org/2015/01/04/apple-lost-functional-high-ground). Daniel Jalkut has collected a list of problems over the last 10 years (http://bitsplitting.org/2015/01/05/the-functional-high-ground/), so it's not like Apple has always had bugs. Since posting, Marco has said he regrets saying what he said because of the subsequent media buzz (http://www.marco.org/2015/01/05/popular-for-a-day). Dr. Drang has another take
