This week: a curiously equipped mystery van has us wondering if Apple’s working on self-driving autos. Plus, we review all that Apple Watch apps
can’t do; Sorkin’s Jobs’ biopic gets a cast, and not everyone is thrilled; Apple’s plans for a global “data command center”; and Macho Man Randy Savage helps us answer listeners questions in an all-new Get to Know Your Cultist.
