This was a big week of tech news for The Verge and we knew we had to talk about it on Vergecast. Nilay and Dieter had just come back from Code Conference, Tony Fadell left Nest, Lenovo Tech World was happening, and with WWDC taking place next week, we got the first news from Apple. There was so much news we were eager to talk about we didn't know where to start (we also didn't know when to finish). Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn, and Dan Seifert sit down and talk tech; Paul Miller joins the show for his Gadget Surprise; and Loren Grush hops in to give us her take on Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos' appearance at Code Con, and also the latest in Game of Thrones. There's also a lot more in between that, so keep listening on your USB-C headphones. App Store: 02:16 Paul's gadget surprise: 29:35 Google and Lenovo: 33:27 Nest: 44:29 Science Corner with Loren Grush: 53:10 E3: 1:03:14 Game of Thrones: 1:04:21 Oh yeah, we have a whole network of podcasts! You can find them all in iTunes and now Spotify. They include the [insert weekly adjective] Ctrl-Walt-Delete podcast with Walt Mossberg and Nilay Patel, which dives deep into tech; Verge ESP with Emily Yoshida and Liz Lopatto, which blurs the lines between science and entertainment; and What's Tech? with Christopher Thomas Plante, which explains technology in layman's terms.
