History is Not Made for Horses

TOPIC: Find My Mac. Please.

With Apple's big iPhone event coming tomorrow, Dan and Merlin discuss what makes this particular day such a black box in Apple's history. This is likely to be the last day for some time when we will know SO very little about where Apple is heading.

Also, there's some discussion of which kinds of technology we're most resistant to and maybe why that is.
