A classic edition of the pod as we hark back to the hallowed three topic format. Henry Burrell hosts David Price, Scott Carey and Chris Martin to ask just how Netflix got so popular.

Other phone stuff includes the hallowed iPhone 8, the demise of Vertu and Nokia not really being Nokia. David then tells us why Google Glass is back, what it means for the enterprise, and why didn't they realise the first time round that it wasn't a consumer play?

Glass is the favorite material for parenteral packaging because of its physico-chemical properties. Type I borosilicate glass is worldwide use at this scope, but it may have some issues related to breakage, corrosion and delamination that might compromise the drug quality, safety and efficacy. These issues can be mitigated and avoided starting from the appropriate selection of the most suitable raw material at the early stage of the glass container design. In this study, Type I borosilicate glass vials manufactured using two glass tubes having different chemical compositions, were studied and compared in terms of their resistance to corrosion. Testing design was applied with the aim to select the best practice approach comparing different storage simulation conditions: ageing treatment through autoclaving and stability testing (real-time and accelerated). Clear differences were found between the different glass types in terms of hydrolytic and corrosion resistance that highlighted the relation between chemical composition and glass chemical durability. Non-negligible differences were also observed using different storage conditions.

Glass has an unusual atomic structure that resembles a liquid frozen in place, making it hard to predict how it will behave. DeepMind has developed an AI capable of doing so, which may also be able to predict traffic jams

Just in time for Mother's Day/continued at-home quarantine comes this 750mL 'My Personal Bottomless Mimosa' glass from BigMouth, Inc and available on Amazons. The surprisingly all-glass drinkware (but still hand-wash only on account of the decorations) combines the shape of a champagne bottle with a mimosa glass to holds 8 (read: 2-3) servings, and is perfect for letting the rest of your family know you're not to be bothered for the rest of the day because it may still be early here but, dammit, it's 5 o'clock somewhere that's nine and half hours ahead. Thanks to Tracey H, who informed me she can't count the number of times she's been asked to leave a bottomless brunch for really putting its bottomlessness to the test. Heck yeah, that's called doing God's work.
