Is Flighty a Top 5 App of All Time?

This week, Marques, Andrew, and David have a ton to get through. First, it's all about Apple with the WWDC announcement, a potential Siri app, and ads coming to Apple Maps. Then it turns to the Flighty app, the state of Microsoft vs Apple laptops, and encryption in Instagram DMs. It's a lot! Of course, we wrap it all up with Trivia.
