0:00.0	Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home for Monday, October 26, 2020. I'm Brian McCullough today.
0:09.0	New AirPods and AirPods Pro coming as soon as the spring.
0:13.0	Facebook launches streaming gaming everywhere, but guess where?

1:19.6	shape that fills more of a user's ear, similar to the latest designs from Samsung and
1:24.7	Amazon and Google. Integrating noise cancellation, wireless antennas, and
1:29.1	microphones into a smaller AirPods Pro casing has proved challenging during development which could
