After the disaster last week we return out of the ashes to bring you the latest news, applications and sites and services in the news for this week.

Sorry about the extended show this week but there were some things that we just had to carry over from last week and we could not ignore this weeks hot news items.

Don’t even think about skipping the last bit of the show as we have slipped in a recording of the phone call via the “Air Bridge” from last week otherwise called “The Dirty Hack”. Definitely worth sticking around for. You will appreciate the efforts that we go to with the audio and a lesson in how not to record a podcast.
