Apple TV, Huawei's Peace Offering, Suicide Squad 2, Swatting, and Space
Quote from Steve Vingua on September 18, 2019, 7:05 amThis week Ken and Steve highlight all of the major nerd news. James Gunn announces the casting of Suicide Squad 2. Some of the individuals responsible for “swatting” find themselves serving real jail sentences. In space news this week we discuss the discovery of a potentially habitable planet and newborn blackholes ringing. Huawei is offering up some 5G intellectual property as a peace offering. Finally, there is a new announcement in the streaming wars, Apple TV plus reveals its plan and initial TV offerings.
