Is your fan off? My fan is off. We're good. There we go. Perfect. It was only like three minutes.

0:05.0

Five minutes. I know it was. I heard at the beginning I was like, oh God, is this the whole episode? But no, it was just...

0:10.0

I would have fixed it if it was the whole episode.

0:12.0

Yeah.

Mcko-Senoma Mayo is here. Not a whole lot here, but I think there are some good changes. The biggest ones being widgets on the desktop so we got interactive widgets

0:34.3

normal widgets then also maybe the coolest part is that your iPhone widgets will
