I’m optimistic this week about some rather scary things, but it’s all the way things are these days. It’s a short show as Adobe takes some heat for being the cause of 80% of malicious attacks, but wants to work with Google on a cross platform solution in the form of Adobe AIR apps for mobile.
No show next week (Feb. 26) but expect Episode 18 to come out in March!
