The Engadget Podcast Ep 18: We Both Go Down Together
So, Yahoo is kind of a mess, huh?
Managing Editor Dana Wollman and Senior Editor Devindra Hardawar join host Terrence O'Brien to talk about the biggest tech stories of the week. First Dana and Devindra debate the value of Amazon's delivery drones and Google's... I mean Alphabet's new self-driving car company, Waymo. Plus they discuss the privacy freakout surrounding Evernote. Then all three will dig into the never ending security failures of Yahoo. Now that the company has admitted that over 1.5 billion user accounts were compromised — and didn't say a word about it for over 2 years — will Verizon still go through with its planned buy out? The panel certainly hopes not.
