CrunchWeek: The Dongle Debacle, Game Of Thrones Comes To SF, And Who Wants A Smartwatch?


Happy Sunday! I hope you’ll agree with me when I say TGICW (Thank goodness it’s CrunchWeek) — that very special time each week when a few of us writers gather around the TechCrunch TV cameras to shoot the breeze about the biggest and most interesting stories from the past seven days.

Our usual host with the most Leena Rao was out of the office while we were filming this edition, so Ryan Lawler and Anthony Ha joined me to look back at the week in tech headlines. Watch the video above to hear us discuss the developer conference “dongle” joke that spun way out of control and all the surrounding drama, tech bloggers’ brush with Hollywood glamour at the Game Of Thrones premiere here in San Francisco, and the rumors that basically every technology company is now working on a smartwatch.
