This week we check in with the American Vice Presidential Debate and the “Mansplaining Paul Ryan” meme that popped up hours before the event.
We also stay up-to-date on the smartphone wars, including the announcement that the Galaxy SIII beat out the iPhone 4S at London Awards Show for “Phone of the Year” honours, and how the recent iPhone 5 problems have affected their stock price.
We discuss the new Facebook Gifts Beta launch where you can buy and send ‘real’ gifts to your friends in our “Creepy or Awesome?!” segment.
Our YouTube Hero this week is a video of the Ohio State University Marching Band’s halftime show, which was a great tribute to video games. It was posted less than a week ago and already has over 8 million views.
Our #Fail of the week is Sony, for suing their own ad spokesman. We had a slight tech issue with Seg 4 but Phil was able to recap the major points.

In this episode we look at how the world of social media reacted to the first Presidential Debate of 2012 as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney squared off in Denver. 
The top story in this episode is the largest tech story of the week – The iPhone 5 announcement. We take a look at the new features, upgrades, and how it stacks up to the competition. On the legal side, Apple may not be able to sell their new device in the US for long due to alleged infringement on Samsung’s and HTC’s patents. The phone, by the way, is due out September 21.
