Episode 3: Finding Clorox + Netflix’s Top 10!
Netflix launched its Top 10 feature in Feb, 2020. I go under the hood to find out if there's a secret motive behind this feature - are they only solving our problem of taking too long to find content to watch?
I compare Amazon vs Walmart vs Instacart vs Postmates vs Doordash vs Shipt - who wins the last mile delivery app battle? And who ends up delivering the Clorox wipes during this pandemic! Tune in to find out!

Episode 2: Amazon's Luna vs Google Stadia vs Microsoft xCloud - will Luna reach the moon? Plus, I give my take on why Youtube is shutting down community contributed captions
Amazon Luna - the newest entrant to the cloud gaming industry - will it be a hit or miss for Amazon? And I also discuss the impact of Youtube shutting down community contributed captions in what appears to be a nudge towards monetization.

Episode 1: Apple vs Fortnite, The Social Dilemma reviewed and iOS14 launched to public!
On this, the first ever episode of AppWars, I take a look at why Apple is in the legal limelight yet again fighting this time, against developers who have helped make up their quantum share of revenue that they get from devices and services.
I also review Social Dilemma - that highlights the ill effect of using social media and the associated addiction.
Finally, I conclude on all the awesome features of iOS14. It's an exciting release that spans across multiple devices and created a Twitter storm with a ton of users sharing their home screens.
