GPS hacking, Apple's Express Transit comes to London & Christmas gifts [S17E07]

This week the team discuss:

• A complex suspected GPS hack in the port of Shanghai that has experts and researchers baffled. Has someone developed the ability to manipulate GPS signals and, if so, who?


• Apple's Express Transit mode has arrived in London allowing travellers to pay for Transport for London tubes, busses and trains without unlocking your phone. This is doubly useful when paired with a smart payment option like Citymapper Pass.


• Christmas gift ideas with a techy (ish) slant, including for the younger people in your life (like Rafe).

Let us know your thoughts on these subjects or anything you'd like to hear covered in future via the website or Twitter.
