SJ 117: Apple Q1 earnings, AirPlay 2 unleashed, Qualcomm, Netflix, Spectrum, lawsuits, CES, and more

And so begins another orbit around the sun, cadets, as the good ship Space Javelin starts Earth year 2019 with big news both good and bad. Although Apple's surprise earnings warning wasn't good news, there is actually a lot of good news *within* the announcement, and co-Captains Mike and Charles take you through the numbers, upsides, and make fun of the media freak-out. On the "all good" news front, the Apple Watch and iPhone have saved yet more lives, AirPlay 2 (and iTunes) have been licensed out to ... wait, *Samsung??*, and the certification spec for USB-C is done, meaning better quality peripherals. But wait, there's much more! The crew warn you about fake "Apple Inc." scam phishing calls, Qualcomm puts up the money to enforce the iPhone 7 and 8 ban in Germany *but* now has the feds taking them to court, Netflix is going their own way on new subscriptions from Apple users (but it's no big deal), Spectrum Cable finally supports single sign-in (and offers Apple TV 4Ks to their customers for $7.50 a month), there's more lawsuits getting tossed or filed, and OWC buys Thunderbolt accessory maker Akitio -- and Mike gets beeped a lot! All this and other malarkey, including Charles' sordid past as a PBS pledge break host -- so secure your credit chips, cadets, and please call now to pledge for that Space Javelin tote bag!
