Win10 v. Mac, Social Media mob, Twitter future? - Roundtable podcast

LOS ANGELES — On this week's TalkingTech Roundtable podcast we previewed Windows 10 on a new Toshiba laptop (on the radio!), pondered the future of Twitter, that weird new Yahoo live video but silent text app, how to respond to a social media shame campaign, discussed resurgence of classic TV game shows online and met a new app for buying and selling furniture.

Our guests:

-- Carrie Cowan, group manager of digital marketing for Toshiba, showcased her new company Windows 10 laptop, with a dedicated button on the keyboard to access Cortana, Microsoft's answer to Apple's Siri.  Her 16-year-old son Braniff joined the panel to add some teen perspective.

-- Bob Boden, a prolific producer of TV game shows, including Boom! and The Chase, both which air on Thursdays. He's also co-executive producer of Head's Up, the 2016 TV game based on the smash hit app from Ellen Degeneres.

-- Mark Gurman, a senior editor with the 9to5Mac blog, previewed that other new operating system, Apple's El Capitan, which is expected in the fall, and the next iPhone.

-- Bill Bobbitt is CEO of MoveLoot, a new tech startup that looks to "change the way we buy, sell and move" secondhand furniture.

The Roundtable airs live on TuneIn every Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
