This week on the show, we buy and Island! Okay, not really. Larry Page lost his voice, Larry Ellison buys most of a Hawaiian island, and a US senator tells Google and Apple to dispense with the spy plane surveillance. Also, we have further proof that Apple designs things that are easily designed, and there is a bit of drama regarding who knew what when regarding Microsoft’s Surface announcement. Please don’t buy these pants, please.
