About this episode

Let's go back to the '90s. Remember the paperclip that would pop up on screen to offer helpful (and annoying) MS Office advice? Clippy's creator, Kevan Atteberry, is here to tell the tale of how it was designed. Plus, Kim and Andrew talk about the first Apple Vision Pro surgery, and more top tech news headlines!
