Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 woes continue, while Netflix, Bioshock and SA’s media landscape also get a mention
We discuss the ongoing and seemingly never-ending Samsung Note 7 disaster. We also talk about Hadlee’s four step gameplan for Netflix’s growth in emerging markets. Sticking with media, we touch on South Africa’s media landscape, and how it will likely evolve into a completely different beast by 2020. And finally, we talk games, speccifically, the recently reviewed Bioshock Collection on Xbox One.
What are we watching, reading, playing: Graham is watching Luke Cage and reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Hadlee is still playing Forza Horizon 3, even after he reviewed the game on Gearburn.
Tweet of the Week: Someone thinks that Bob Dylan deserves the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he won yesterday.
