Emmys, Facebook is now a publisher, Apple pays EU $15B, and Storm Area 51
In this week’s news show, we give our thoughts on some of the major topics in the nerd community. Steve explains his 4.5 star review for Ad Astra and then we discuss the future of space hotels. Streaming services dominate the Emmys and we have a new NBC streaming service named Peacock. Apple continues to fight taxes levied on them by the EU and Facebook legally defines themselves as a publisher. We also discuss our disappointment with the human race following the “Storm Area 51” event.
