The world got a little more magical this week. Amazon showed off its vision of the future of grocery shopping with Amazon Go, and the consensus is that the checkout-less store is truly amazing -- assuming the online retail giant can pull it off. Mashable Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff and I talk about the tech behind Amazon Go as well as its potential problems -- logistical, technological and ethical. Whether or not Amazon actually ends up becoming a brick-and-mortar retailer from the move, it's definitely a more compelling vision than delivery drones. Lance and I also tackle another timely topic: connected toys, which are sure to be a hit this holiday season.

We got a good helping of hardware and software this week. On the hardware front, we published our Google Home and new MacBook Pro (without Touch Bar) reviews. And on the software side, we got a first look at the 70 new emoji coming to iOS devices in the upcoming iOS 10.2. Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal and Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff joined me on MashTalk along with special guest Real Time News Reporter Nicole Gallucci to talk about it all. The verdict is out on Google Home: It's awesome.

Nintendo finally gave the world a glimpse of what its next gaming system, the Nintendo Switch (formerly known as NX), looks like on Thursday. And it's very weird; it's like nothing we've ever seen, which is the main topic of this week's episode of MashTalk. In addition to the Nintendo Switch, we talked about what we're expecting from the Apple event next Thursday and Tesla's new fully autonomous self-driving technology. SEE ALSO: Meet Nintendo Switch, the system formerly known as'NX' Joining yours truly on MashTalk is our Deputy Tech Editor Damon Beres and special guest, Assistant Tech Editor Louise Matsakis, filling in for our fearless Tech Editor, Pete Pachal. Following the huge success of the Wii, Nintendo released the Wii U in 2012 hoping to build on its popularity.

Google officially became a hardware company on Tuesday. Not only did the company announce new Pixel phones (RIP Nexus), but the company also provided pricing and release dates for Google Home, its Amazon Echo killer, unveiled its mobile VR headset called Daydream View, Google Wi-Fi network extenders and Chromecast Ultra. Joining me this week's MashTalk is Deputy Tech Editor Damon Beres and -- for the first time -- our wonderful tech intern Alex Laird. Obviously we talked the new Google gadgets and whether or not they pose a threat to the iPhone. Damon scored us an exclusive look at Giphy Cam 2.5 (the company says it with a hard G, which is wrong, but whatever!).

Next Tuesday is going to be a very big day for Google. The company is hosting an event in San Francisco to presumably announce its new Pixel and Pixel XL Android phones that could replace the Nexus brand and what is shaping up to be a boatload of gadgets. On this week's MashTalk, Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal and Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff join me in running through what to expect at Google's big event, geeking out over DJI's new foldable Mavic Pro drone and trying to figure out if Elon Musk's grand plan to send 100 people to Mars and beyond with a SpaceX ship is insane or really insane. The hype before the event is that Google will kill the Nexus brand of devices. Sure, Nexus phones and tablets are a hit with tech geeks, but most regular folks have never heard of them.

GoPro kicked off the week with a huge event in Squaw Valley, Calif., to announces its new Hero 5 Black and Hero 5 Black action cameras, and its Karma drone, and they all look suh-weet. On this week's MashTalk, Mashable Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff, Deputy Tech Editor Damon Beres and I chat about the new GoPro toys, the Yahoo accounts breach and the arrival of macOS Sierra. SEE ALSO: Hands-on with GoPro's new voice-controlled Hero 5 action cameras On the day of recording, Yahoo confirmed 500 million user accounts were stolen. Sure, we all joked for a second about who still uses Yahoo accounts, but it's no joking matter when the accounts are connected to so many different services. The bottom line: If you have a Yahoo email account, either shut it down or protect yourself by changing your password or using two-step authentication.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus finally arrived this week and Mashable was there to cover the launches all around the world. Though excitement for the phones was greater than expected, many fans were unhappy that Apple had sold out of the 7 Plus in all colors and the jet black for both models. On this week's MashTalk, Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal joins me and special guest, business reporter Kerry Flynn, to talk about the 7 Plus shortages, what's new in iOS 10 and the awesomeness/scariness of hailing and going for a ride in one of Uber's new self-driving cars in Pittsburgh. So, obviously the 7 Plus and jet black shortages rubbed a lot of line-waiters the wrong way. You would think that Apple, which has been producing iPhones for almost ten years and has made over a billion of them would have this all down to a science.

In this episode of MashTalk, Pete, Christina and Lance discuss Mark Zuckerberg's paranoia (1:00) -- he might not be THAT paranoid -- before diving into how Siri works on macOS Sierra (9:05) and how it compares to Cortana (10:00). We then shift into some other thoughts on macOS Sierra (18:05), including Apple's increased focus on iCloud and services.

Speaking of having a chance, is Periscope having a renaissance?

In this episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and I do a deep dive on WWDC and everything Apple announced. SEE ALSO: Apple's 2016 WWDC event in under 90 seconds We start off offering our take on the keynote (0:30) and the tenor of Apple announcements. First up is iOS 10 (8:30) and the impact the new changes coming to Messages on the platform. We spend a lot of time on Messages before moving into a discussion on differential privacy (21:25) and whether that can ever offer as good of a predictive experience as services that track you more (Google, Facebook). We shift on to talk about the new Home app (29:42) and whether Apple can really make HomeKit a thing.
