Tech News Today 1499

Tonight, we celebrate the one year birthday of the Apple Watch, a device that has not yet delivered on one of its biggest promises...or any of its promises. Next, we cover earnings predictions for Apple with Rene Ritchie of iMore, and Twitter earnings predictions with Kurt Wagner of Re/code. Twitter also has a new feature that makes it easier to report trolls. Next, we chat with digital strategist Wynter Mitchell from Pop Rocket about Prince, Beyoncé, and the politics of online streaming. Finally, we answer a question about the cracked screen on Jason's Galaxy S7, and discuss the curious crash of a Google Loon balloon.
