Weekly Round Up #61: Uncharted 4, Samsung vs Apple, Uber and more

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

This week on BurnCast, Reporter Graham van der Made plays host and is joined by Gearburn Editor, Andy Walker.

The team discusses this week’s biggest gaming story in Uncharted 4, Samsung’s incredible month compared to Apple’s, and Uber’s electric car programme in Johannesburg. Seedstars’ new South African competition also gets a mention, along with an upcoming horror movie filmed through the lens of Snapchat. Finally, we talk about the small matter of a 10-year-old hacking Instagram.

The team also talks about what they are currently watching, reading, playing and eating.
