This week on the show, we talk at length about new touch things. How Yahoo is updating its homepage once again to try to stay relevant in the new world of the touch interface, how RIM’s touch and security centered BB10 OS made it past government standards, and how you will be able to touch your credit card soon. Jam with some friends on Google’s ‘Jam with Chrome’ while you wait for your bank to call you about getting a new card, or tune in next week!
