On The Verge, Episode 009: Microsoft’s Andy Wilson and a trip to Industrial Light and Magic

From prose to prototype, this week’s episode of On The Verge kept to a (fairly loose) theme about science fiction. First Josh, Nilay, and Paul took a look at one possible dystopic future as predicted by both Apple Store lines and iOS 6 Maps (it’s all in good fun, we promise). HTC also graciously let the trio play around with a quartet of its new Windows Phone 8X flagship devices. Next up, Bryan Bishop took a trip out to legendary special effects house Industrial Light and Magic to speak to learn, among other things, how The Hulk came to life on screen for The Avengers.
