    Will you own your next computer, or rent it? | Raffi Krikorian (CTO, Mozilla)

    In this episode we talk with Raffi Krikorian, CTO of Mozilla, in a broad conversation that touches on the role that open source — and our own values as builders — will play both in creating the new computer, and deciding who truly controls it. Co-hosts Stephen Hood and Rupert Manfredi also discuss their startup’s new product, Television, as well as HTML artifacts and… the pope?
