Dan talks with Nilay Patel of The Verge about the new Steve Jobs book and its mediocre quality, the Apple Watch, podcasting, and where The Verge is going. He is also joined by Mike Swanson who came out with an Apple Editors’ Choice app called Layout before Instagram came out with their app by the same name.
