Episode 73: “My pants are full of brisket,” Apple updates,&Oracle storms the AWS castle - a podcast by Software Defined Talk LLC

Apple has put out three new things - the phone, the watch, and the OS - which we discuss. And then Oracle announced it's destroying Amazon, which is fun. We start it all off with a word-salad of the usual nonsense and deodorant talk.
