CultCast #169 - The Blizzard Took My Internet

It’s time for all our Apple Watch hopes and dreams to come true.  With the big event coming March 9th, catch our Spring Forward event expectations, all that we (think we) know about the Apple Watch thus far, how much each edition will cost, and our expectations for other Apple hardware announcements. Plus: why Apple watch will replace your keys; Apple adds cars to its list of products; and since the new Photos app for Mac just hit public beta, we’ll tell you what we like and don’t about Apple’s iPhoto replacement.
