Description: This week Ashleigh Allsopp is simultaneously fascinated and worried by the UK launch of Amazon's Dash buttons, and discusses the many wonderful and not-so-wonderful things they enable you to buy on a drunken whim. Then David Price takes his turn to shine a spotlight on Apple's mysterious tax affairs (12:20) and tries to explain why the Irish government doesn't want to be given 13 billion euros. Finally a surprisingly riled-up Neil Bennett explains why women wearing headphones are not fair game for dimwitted pick-up artists (25:00), and ponders the social conventions surrounding the place of technology in each of our lives.
