Here is this week’s News Roundup episode, which is a solo effort from Jan as Aaron is traveling. This week, we cover:

• Two unusual announcements of future plans from Apple: its intention to build its own GPU, and its roadmap for pro Macs
• Comcast’s announcement of its wireless service, Xfinity Mobile
• Facebook’s testing of a tab surfacing recommended content not shared by your friends
• Samsung’s preliminary financial results for Q1 2017.

As always, you’ll find links to these stories and other things we discussed underneath the SoundCloud player embedded below.

As ever, you can also find the podcast on iTunes, in the Overcast app, or your own favorite podcast app. Here is the RSS feed for the podcast if you want to add it manually to your app of choice.
