Jon Westfall and Todd Ogasawara (that's me) are back for the 10th year of the MobileViews podcast. We start 2018 with not-so-happy news of the Meltdown/Spectre processor security hole and why the Raspberry Pi is *not* affected, then continue on to melting HP batteries, and more adware in Google's Android app store. We then ask why you would want to talk to your eyeglasses, Jon's onsite/offsite backup sync solution, and ponder my daily project for 2018.

Happy New Year!

Thank you to my ComicsViews co-host, Jay Stone, and MobileViews co-host, Jon Westfall.
