Wired's Gadget Lab Podcast in Audio

It's our last show of 2014, and also Mat Honan's last show as co-host. He's starting a new job at Buzzfeed, so what better way to see him off than with a Buzzfeed-style quiz?

Mat is leaving WIRED, maybe you've heard. He tells us about his new job. Also, the hosts talk about the big event happening in one month: the Consumer Electronics Show. Is it still relevant (yes) and what's the most interesting thing this year (TBD)?

Uber has been playing a dirty game, and it's getting nastier by day. Their bad behavior isn't just about tech anymore. It's about politics. It's about integrity. And, as much as we may hate it... it might be a successful strategy.

The flood of new Nexus hardware finally abates! First the Player, then the tablet, and now finally, the phone. The hosts discuss. Also: the tyranny of product reviews, Twitter's video plans, Apple's iMessage debacle, and Mike's memories of the power station at Battersea.

Today we're giving thumbs down to the Amazon Echo, thumbs up to the Nexus line and its new "Lollipop" OS, and a tenuous 'maybe' to voice command tests on various platforms.

Christina Bonnington is back with Gadget Lab regulars Michael Calore and Mat Honan to discuss everything that Apple revealed at WWDC 2014. Plus: is an Amazon phone round the corner?

Gadget Lab's Michael Calore and Mat Honan are joined by Apple reporter Christina Bonnington to discuss iOS 8, the rumored Healthbook app, the next version of OS X and the $3 billion Apple-Beats deal.

Is it a tablet? Is it a laptop? No, it's the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3! Mat Honan and Michael Calore dive into the brand new device from Redmond and discuss what it means for the future of Microsoft. They also discuss the brand new Google+ Stories and the downfall of Metafilter. Stick around till the end to hear Mat channel Idina Menzel.

There's a heat wave in California but that didn't stop Gadget Lab's Michael Calore and Mat Honan from huddling in the sweltering Gadget Lab studio and discussing this week's top tech stories: how cheap phones are finally usable (well, almost), how iOS 8 may finally include split-screen multi-tasking, and how iMessage just plain blows.
