This will make more sense later, but this is episode 75. Clearly I suck at counting. Anyway, this week we’re talking about a handful of Google announcements, Twitter for politicians, and scamming Amazon. Share your Amazon scams with us with #scamazon on Twitter and Facebook or through whatever means you prefer.

Guests: Darren Herczeg and Professional Amazon Manipulator Erica Elson

• Computer Build Suggestions (for Jacob)As promised, here are my suggested builds for a powerful, affordable machine. There are two size options plus additional resources to customize things to your liking. I did this for Jacob, since he asked the question, however there's no reason these builds shouldn't suit most people. They can even run OS X!
• Steve Jobs: the MovieThe Metacritic page for Steve Jobs (the movie). We think Metacritic tends to do the best job at accurately judging the quality of a film—at least as best you can with aggregate review algorithms—but if you want to know it's a 6.4 on IMDb and 91% on Rotten Tomatoes (as of October 1st, when this show was recorded).
• John Oliver's Facebook Video: The Social Media Profile Copyright Act of 1934Watch it, share it, save the world.
• Here is Twitter's crazy 136-page handbook for politicians who want to tweetEver wish there were a manual on how not to say something stupid on social media? Well, if you’re a politician, now there is. The "Twitter Government and Elections Handbook" was put together last year by the social network's political partnerships team to teach politicians and their flunkies the ways of the tweeting arts.
• Hands-on with Google's new Nexus 6P smartphoneThe rumors were true.
• The Nexus 5X vs. the competition: Smaller is still powerfulIf last year's Nexus 6 was too big for your hands, this year Google and LG have scaled things back a bit with the Nexus 5X. It sports a more manageable 5.2-inch screen size, while also dropping some new features into the mix like USB Type-C and Nexus Imprint. But are these added bells and whistles enough to carve out a space for LG's new Nexus among smaller flagship handsets? We've stacked up the 5X versus the similarly-sized Galaxy S6 as well as Apple's latest 4.7-inch iPhone to find out.
• Gizmodo's Hands-on Experience with the Pixel CI completely forgot to mention it! It's actually really cool and might be my favorite thing announced and I FORGOT ABOUT IT!!
• Android 6.0 MarshmallowS’More to Love
• The Supercharged SubredditJust another friendly reminder that it exists, for all of you who prefer sharing your thoughts on Reddit. (Thanks again, Dan!)

No sponsor this week, so...uh...tell someone about our show? Spread the word! We'll get more ads that way and everybody loves ads! (Actually our sponsors are all services/things I use so I love them but maybe we'll get a bad sponsor one day and you'll get to hear my sad ad voice.)
