On this week’s episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and I talk about the changes happening with the Facebook News Feed (05:00) and how they will impact regular users, brands and news publishers. 

We then shift gears to talk about a slew of Amazon announcements – including the return of Prime Day (20:30) and the ultra-discounted Android phones Amazon is subsidizing with special offers on the lock screen (27:30). We also have a few thoughts about Android Nougat (34:30), the official name for Android N.
