SJ108: Google+ cut, Dialog bought, Note 9 smoked, Macs down, CVS surrenders, CBC wrong, Kanye & more

Even as long as Mike and Charles been exploring the techspace frontier, cadets, they still get surprised at how weird things can get. Apple let the moths out of its checkbook for a big acqui-hire, Google finally pulled the plug on its Plus (and tried to hide the cause of death), Australia's government gets Applesplained to, Facebook doubles down on bad security, the A12 Bionic smokes the Note 9 (in states where that's legal), and Kanye continues his Apple fantasies ... and this is all before they get to That Can't Be Right! Thankfully, some things still stay the same. Apple is releasing a ludicrously overpriced accessory, another company takes an Apple idea and runs with it, there's yet still more confirmation (yes, more) of new iPads, there's some cool new things in Apple's healthcare space, and some sweet deals on the latest iPhones (and the Note 9, if you prefer). Oh, and Bloomberg is still wrong. See? Comforting, reliable nuggets in a turbulent world. All this and a new Intel chip (yes, really!), CVS crying uncle and making Apple Pay official, dumb rumors to squash, CBC's Apple hit job to poke holes in, and Facebook makes a spy terminal for your grandma. Mike and Charles also take a look at the Luna Display device, fresh out of Kickstarter, and preview Apple's newest secret project: the iPlane 1 (though we hear they're just winging it). Get up on the tables, cadets, it's Improv Keynote Night on the Holodeck!
