Interface 62. It Could Be Really CoolCES 2018 was a all about hyping the future, but Razer's Project Linda concept has Andrew skeptical about the practicality of phones as computers.

Interface 61. A Missing FeatureChase is unhappy with how iOS 11 has changed some previously expected behaviors. Now his wifi might be on, or might be off, or might just not be connected right now. Ian makes assumptions about how people probably don't know how to use their iPhone. Andrew thinks it all makes sense, but he's a power user… 🤷‍♂️ John Gruber on the iOS 11 wifi/bluetooth toggles iOS 11's "new" Control Center

Interface 60. I Still Have No Idea How This WorksBlockchain, Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, Ethereum... it all sounds like stuff out of a 90's Sci-Fi movie, but it's a real thing, and it has the potential to change the way computing, finance, and identification are done in the future.

Interface 59. The Showroom IdeaAmazon has spent the last few years slowly killing off the traditional bookstore (and many other stores along the way). Now Amazon has opened a physical bookstore to help those indecisive buyers find books that might enjoy. Nordstrom is doing the same, allowing you to shop online, and have a personally tailored shopping experience in store. The question is, do people actually want to shop like this?

Interface 57. How Much is Somebody Worth?On the face of it, $10/month seems like a great deal for unlimited movie theater tickets. That is, until you realize that there is a hidden cost to seeing every new Marvel or DC movie to hit the cinema - incessant advertisements in your email promoting every new action figure, poster, video game, kids toy, or special Spiderman themed food item at Walmart. In reality, you are subsidizing your movie habits with personal information that advertisers are buying at a premium, just to get their marketing in front of your eyes. <ul> ...

Interface 56. Etsy for Things in Development (S2E02)Ian pledged $50 to get a glorified selfie stick, but only half of it has been shipped. Chase spent $100 on a video game that may or may not actually be made one day. A combination of physical and psychological factors lead to successful campaigns on crowdfunding platforms, but sometimes even the most convincing sales pitches turn out to be much less impressive - so what makes people willing to hand over their money? <ul> <li><a href="https://conversionxl.com/crowdfunding-campaigns/">Tactics for Effective Crowdfunding</a><...

Now, in 315-day-old follow-up, Chase has cancelled SlingTV and Ian is testing out the recently released YouTube TV. The question is, outside of sports, does anybody watch anything live?

Interface 41. Do People Really Not Know Where They're Going?Why is it that every car radio, CD player, or fancy infotainment system sucks? Maybe it's a disconnect with customers, maybe it's just a lack of care... or maybe it's because there is no incentive to make it better when the competition all sucks, too. Either way, we don't like it.

You offer up one of the controllers and play a round of Mario Kart.
