The irrepressible Rik Myslewski, Managing Editor for The Register, a UK-based “snarky” tech publication, and a long-time observer of Apple Inc., discusses the advances in the iPhone 5s, including 64-bit support, plus state-of-the-art developments in the chip industry.

You’ll also hear from Dann Berg, Reviews Editor for The Verge, who will consider the recent efforts by Google and Microsoft to deliver a vertical solution to building new gear that is similar to Apple’s. So we have Google’s purchase of Motorola Mobility in 2011, and the recent announcement that Microsoft was acquiring the mobile handset division of Nokia. He’ll also give you his early reactions to iOS 7, the major upgrade to Apple’s mobile OS.
