In this episode we cover the latest in entertainment and tech.  We start with a quick recap of the awards given out at the Emmy’s. Marvel announced changes to the Disney+ schedule and they confirmed the new casting of She-Hulk.  Sony announces their pricing and the pre orders for the console was a complete mess.  In tech news there are new Chinese hackers charged with cyber crimes along with updates to the TikToc and Oracle deal.  The Trump administration is also starting to dig into companies owned by the China backed Tencent.  Finally in space news there are potential signs of life on Venus.
