Just like an Apple computer, tech news can become outdated fast and comes at too high of a price.



Ten Minute Tech Talk is here to solve all your woes. As quickly as Instagram steals an idea from Snapchat, we’ll get you caught up on all the week’s tech news. Look to us for hands-on, easy-to-understand reviews and news updates with a side of snark.

Things we want to be: Sassy, informative, filled with awkward Mark Zuckerberg news.

Things we don’t want to be: Weekend Update but for the Internet.

The voices you’ll hear debating the tech news of the day come from Taylor Olmstead and Emily Bamforth. After spending two seasons trying to convince each other to join a fandom on Forced Fandom, Emily and Taylor are now going to join forces on something they both love — technology and social media.

You might know Taylor as the ever-suffering co-host of Dude’s Brunch. He’s also a marketing and social media extraordinaire who spends a lot of time sitting on a porch somewhere in Atlanta, probably sipping craft beer with Blink-182 playing softly in the background.

Favorite app: AllTrails, an app that shows you turn-by-turn directions but for hiking trails

Cell phone set up: iPhone 7, matte black, 128 GB

What computer he’s using: 2014 13-inch Retina Macbook Pro

Ask him about: His lifetime dedication to cable management

Emily Bamforth is a journalist who spends a lot of time screaming at Adobe Suite and finding herself in the deep, dark depths of the Internet. When she’s not running around Cleveland randomly doing things like learning how to play the bagpipes, she’s an amateur hiker, D&D player and succulent-grower.

Favorite app: Spotify

Cell phone set up: Rose gold iPhone 6S, 16 GB

What computer she’s using: Lenovo Yoga

Ask her about: Who she ships on “The Only Way is Essex”
