Weekly Round Up #65: ASUS Zenbo, phones over friends, bacon critics & Snapchat vs. Twitter

Welcome to Weekly Roundup, our podcast discussing the latest tech trends, innovation, and news from the last few days.

This week, Andy Walker plays host and talks to Graham.

The team discusses the Zenbo, ASUS’s intelligent home robot that wants to replace your lap dog. Also covered is new research claiming that one in three people value their smartphones above their friends. We also chat Time’s Extra Crispy ‘bacon critic’ job post, and finally, a new report that claims Snapchat’s latest win against Twitter.

What are we playing, watching, eating: The team discusses what they are currently playing. Andy prefers to read whilst jet setting around the world and Graham wishes the game he is playing had single player mode.

Tweet(s) Of The Week: Due to an overly polite tweeting week, we have no Tweet of the week. But do hit us up with a witty comment on the show or any article on the site at @memeburn.
