Tonight we discuss Peter Kafka's article on Re/Code about how apps are over. Nobody told Apple that, because today SVP of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller told The Verge about some big changes to the app store revenue model. We also talk search results and early cancer detection, a new network for Google Fi and an autonomous passenger drone that will soon start testing in the Nevada desert. Next we interview Brian Christian, co-author of the book Algorithms to Live By to discuss why algorithms don't deserve the bad press they've been getting lately.

Today's question of the day is: Would you trade your search queries for medical advice? Send your thoughts to TNT@twit.tv.
