CrunchWeek: Amazon Takes On Square, Tech CEOs Get Dunked, BurritoCannon Comes True


We’re in the mid-August tech news cycle (AKA, it’s pretty slow), which made for some interesting topics for this week’s episode of CrunchWeek.

Pour yourself a nice cold spiked lemonade, and join Sarah Buhr, Alex Wilhelm, and I at the big white table to talk about Amazon launching a product that competes with Square, as TechCrunch first reported way back in 2012 (and Square’s subsequent defense of its business against naysayers), big tech personalities like Zuck and Bill Gates dousing themselves in ice water for charity, and Alex’s brilliant BurritoCannon idea coming to life.
