In this episode we talk about getting older but no wiser, new Apple stuff that is incredibly cool but that we're not going to buy, an interesting new subscription support for podcasters, oh, and we almost fall out again, this time over consultancy. As a special bonus we both tell a joke and end up on the cheery subject of identity theft.

In this episode we pick up on the topics in Tim O’Riley’s recent article The End of Silicon Valley as We Know It. How do we regulate technology, how do we end up with the right result, what is the right result, and could we be a bit be a bit kinder to each other on the way?

This episode we use Euan's blog's twentieth birthday as an excuse to riff on the early days of the internet and how things have changed. Who would have thought we would one day have a US President who was a troll? How did we survive without being able to look up just about anything whenever and wherever we want? And why do companies in the east approach the new opportunities afforded by the web fundamentally differently? We end up talking about the wonder that is the NHS, how technology can help us stay healthy, and how important getting out into the real world is.
