Debating Samsung vs. Apple on CNBC


Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S4, but will it be enough to topple Apple?

That’s the question that CNBC posed to me and my friend Colleen Taylor of TechCrunch. I took a position that even surprised me. Here’s what I will say for now: the long-term trend of growth is clearly in Samsung’s favor. Apple will have to hit back hard.

An Interview With the World’s Most Famous Skeptic [VIDEO]

On Sunday, I made another appearance on NBC’s Press:Here. In this edition of the program, NBC’s Scott McGrew, BBC’s Maggie Shiels and I interviewed Michael Shermer, best known for founding The Skeptics Society, creating Skeptic Magazine, hosting Exploring the Unknown and contributing a monthly column to Scientific American.

The conversation covered all the bases: the end of the world, whether vaccines cause Autism, and the impact the web has had on our belief in the odd and the supernatural.

In addition to interviewing Shermer, we also chatted with Samsung’s Jim Elliott about the solid state drive (SSD). Check out both interviews via the videos below:
