Today, Erik was back on the line, and we had a very nice show, certainly enjoyed ourselves, and I hope that you do too. This week we have some security warnings to pass along, a fair number of mobile news stories and the sagas of AT&T&T and the iPhone 5 continue.  Lets hope that by next week the faster than light nutrinos will let us speed through some of these sagas.

Today was all me, I produced and hosted all alone, no here beside me… Windows 8 is fun, and if you have the free time to set up a VM and play with it, or even dual-boot, I seriously recommend trying it. This is a fun time in terms of battery life improvements due to the low-power processors, and the patent lawsuits. Enjoy your week, and tune in again next time!
