*  ASUS unveils their Raspberry Pi competitor that’s capable of playing back 4K video and 24-bit audio!

* Google’s Pixel phones made up 12.3% of all Verizon smartphone activations in the fourth quarter of 2016
* Todd has cut his cord cutting and returned to the sweet, sweet embrace of overpriced pay-TV.  The cable companies win back another lost soul!
