In this warlike episode of the hellyeah! show, we discuss text spam, colds, reading Game of Thrones on a lighted Kindle, the surprising/not-really-surprising rebound of Netflix’s subscriber numbers, Google’s new unified terms of service and privacy policy, blocking premium text charges, court-ordered laptop decryption, and the best worst show on television: Storage Wars.
