As the rest of the world slowed down for the 4th of July holiday, tech news kept coming.

On CNBC, Re/code’s Walt Mossberg discussed his Apple Music first look and why it’s the best streaming music service he has tried so far. But it is not without its problems, either.

Mark Bergen also appeared on CNBC, to explain why he thinks Yahoo is desperate for testing a search partnership with Google. Read: Money.

On Thursday, Kurt Wagner joined Tech News Today to chat about Facebook’s burgeoning video business and why the social network could be the home to the next group of online video stars.

Lastly, Eric Johnson was also a Tech News Today guest, where he discussed how it makes sense for Google to invest in a virtual reality company, Jaunt, with which it also competes.
